South Carolina Tried to Pass a Bill Jailing Women for Abortion. No Republican Voted Against It.
SLATE
The abolitionists don’t just have soft targets; they also have a sophisticated legal organization, led by Bradley Pierce, an experienced lawyer who has written abolitionist model legislation, and who has worked with the Alliance Defending Freedom, which is now the nation’s leading anti-abortion litigator. Pierce’s model laws are ready-made solutions for men like Cash who want to push colleagues further toward even more extreme anti-abortion views.
Pierce’s cause also has an army in Southern Baptist churches, which are pushing for an endorsement of abolitionism in the Southern Baptist Convention. The SBC hasn’t gone that far, but it has passed resolutions replete with abolitionist language, and abolitionist allies continue to press for more.
