On Veggie Tales Creator Phil Vischer's podcast, Pro-life writer David French and pro-choice pastor Skye Jethani critiqued abolitionism. They offered arguments against abolitionism we hadn't heard before, and Jethani (who is ordained as a pastor and used to be an editor at Christianity Today) explained the "disturbingly compelling" pro-choice arguments that led him to come out as a pro-choicer in the episode. As harshly as truth and as uncompromisingly as justice, we refute their pro-life and pro-choice nonsense. We also talk about the crucially important Abolition Now Conference coming up this March 1-4.

Dobbs has been decided. There is no more need for compromise. Or is there? Pro-lifers seeking to keep their losing streak alive petition congress and demand unequal justice. We dissect The Heritage Foundation letter in this episode of The Liberator Podcast.

"They can't out-exegete us" has long been a rallying cry for abolitionist pastors in the SBC. Pastor David Goza has proven the slogan accurate once again. At the Louisiana Baptist Convention, Goza contested that because God forgave Paul for sins he committed in ignorance, mothers should be allowed to murder their babies in the womb without any legal consequence. Shockingly, his argument was persuasive to enough messengers in the room that abolitionist pastor Brian Gunter's equal protection amendment was voted down. Russell, James, and Rachel tested Goza's argument against scripture and plain reason, and suffice it to say, his argument was found wanting.

We sit down to discuss our presence on TikTok and why it is important to take advantage of the opportunity it presents.

This episode was broadcasted LIVE on YouTube and Facebook. We had some audio issues at the beginning and had to cut out a small portion of the beginning. 

SBC President Bart Barber has "apologized" for his slander of Dusty Deevers and the Abolitionist Movement, but his "apology" was as bad as the original tirade. In this episode, we dissect Barber's "repentance," explain the six things Barber still needs to repent of, and ask our listeners to send the episode to Barber, politely asking him to stop ignoring Dusty's requests for a meeting to reconcile.

Georgia Democratic Gubernatorial Candidate and election-denier Stacey Abrams told MSNBC that inflation is only as painful as it is because people do not murder their preborn children, then "preached" at an Atlanta "church" about how she, not Christ, is lord of her life.

Sam and James were joined by Pastor Dusty Deevers and Attorney Bradley Peirce to discuss the recent controversy with SBC president Bart Barber and his slander of Dusty. We deal with his arguments in detail.

We sat down with Brian Gunter to talk about his departure from the pro-life movement and becoming an abolitionist, and his most recent project in Louisiana seeking to end the bloodshed.

Many pro-life and pro-murder organizations alike are claiming that abortion has effectively been abolished in numerous states. Is this true? Sam and James take a closer look at the claims made by pro-lifers and their regulatory laws.

Students for Life President Kristen Hawkins Tweeted recently that politics necessitates compromise. In this episode, the guys discuss politics theologically and contrast the abolitionist view with that of the pro-life movement.

The "Conservative Policy Network" is a dark money political group lying about abolitionist candidates all over the state of Oklahoma. Having been accused of being in the occult and wanting to raise taxes, SD26 candidate Brady Butler is the latest victim of these lying, establishment smear artists. In episode #107 of The Liberator Podcast, Russell and James talk to Brady about the wild, intentionally false accusations being leveled against him by the dark money allies of Senator Darcy Jech, and about the differences between his campaign and Jech's.

We have been talking about this episode for a VERY long time, and what an episode for the second anniversary of The Liberator!

We sat down with Mike Hill to discuss his bid for House District 1 in Florida and the importance of abolitionist campaigns post-roe.

James and Sam examine the evil pro-life bill presented by Senator Sue Glick of Indiana. Without Roe as an excuse, pro-lifers are STILL sticking to their incremental guns. It comes as no surprise to us that they won't abolish abortion: they tolerated a holocaust for fifty years, and they aren't going to act like it is a holocaust now.

We sat down with Karina Rodriguez and discussed the work God has done in her life, redeeming her from a life of murder and depravity. Karina interned with us this summer and has been preaching the gospel and rescuing children ever since she was born again. The reborn rescue the preborn.

We were joined this week by Gabriel, Kim, Karina, Aurora, and Natalie to discuss their time working for Free the States!

David Buboltz has first-hand experience running a campaign as an abolitionist. He performed excellently in his recent race and knew it was going to be a tough seat to take. With a smaller budget and less political recognition, he couldn't win his race, but he learned a lot from the campaign that will be helpful for future abolitionist candidates.

Analyzing Brett Kavanaugh's concurring opinion in Dobbs and why it represents the height of cowardice and unconstitutionality.

The Abolition of Abortion in Louisiana Act was sailing through the legislative process without any Republican opposition before the Pro-Life Establishment organizations in Louisiana and nationwide came out against it. We dissect their statements in opposition to the bill.

We were joined by guest Jeff Durbin to discuss the Louisiana Abolition Bill. The bill made history on Wednesday, May 4th, when it was passed out of committee with a 7-2 vote. This is the first abolition bill to reach it to this stage and it will make history again when it receives a floor vote before the entire LA House on Thursday! This is big news. Help us get the word out by sharing this episode!

Pastor Ronnie Rogers recently wrote an article attempting to justify his incrementalism that was laced with a series of spurious historical claims and strawman arguments against the abolitionist position. James and Sam dissect it in episode #92 of The Liberator Podcast.

The Alito draft leak obtained by Politico has everybody talking. We want to address it as well, but from an abolitionist perspective: if the decision holds as written it will be WRONGLY decided. We also talk about how this decision (if it holds) impacts legislation to abolish abortion.

The question isn't whether Christians should engage politically, the question is how. Paul Abbott II of End Abortion Alabama walks us through a biblical approach to politics and having a consistent ethic across political and cultural engagement.

On a recent episode of The Matt Walsh Show, Walsh challenged listeners who disagree with him about something to give him something to respond to. In this podcast, we rebut Walsh's incrementalism and support of bills like the down syndrome abortion ban which he admits do nothing to stop abortion.

The ERLC is once again saying ridiculous things (shocker) and Oklahoma abolished abortion! Or did it? (it didn't). All this and more on this week's episode of The Liberator Podcast.

Texas House Public Health Committee Chairwoman Stephanie Klick killed the bill that would have abolished abortion and she killed the bill that would have abolished gender modification surgery on minors. Yet Texas Right to Life is fighting tooth and nail to reelect Klick against abolitionist David Lowe. By themselves, anti-abolitionist politicians wouldn't be able to get away with keeping abortion legal. But when they receive cover from the Pro-Life Establishment organizations, they are enabled to keep abortion legal for as long as they desire.
