🧵Abolitionist Senator @DustyDeevers has taken aim at the idols of Oklahoma and filed all 9 of his bills for the 2024 session. This thread will detail all 9.

His first bill was SB1729, the Abolition of Abortion Act.

Full thread on that bill:👇(1/12)

The second is SB1825, a bill that to establish that the penalty for a willful false accusation is whatever the penalty is for the crime you falsely accused someone of is. Right now, the penalty is a misdemeanor. (See Deu 19:16-19.)

🧵While NC and KY Baptists recently affirmed abolition resolutions, Louisiana Baptists rejected it. Get a load of these OUTRAGEOUS, anti-abolition testimonies against @BrianGunter1689's motion to bring the abolition resolution to the floor. First up, @fieldthigpen. (1/17) This pastor and Resolutions Committee member says "We would have no set of parameters in the legal system" to deal with co-conspirators. Where on earth do they get this stuff? Every state has laws dealing with co-conspirators to crimes. (2/17)

🧵In yesterday's speech, Speaker Mike Johnson spoke about God's sovereignty. God is also sovereign over timing. In His timing, well-produced content that's been in the works for months will be released soon about what Johnson did to keep abortion legal in LA last year. (1/7) For those who've been following popular narratives around Johnson, this news may surprise you. You may have seen that he was a lawyer for Alliance Defending Freedom, a leading pro-life legal group, and that he has an A+ rating from Susan B Anthony List. (2/7)

🧵Yesterday, Live Action awarded Oklahoma Governor Kevin Stitt as the "Life Awardee" of the year for "outlawing abortion in the state of Oklahoma." Let's talk about what @GovStitt has done and then about what this says about @LiveAction. (1/12)

If mothers are immune from penalties, they are free to induce their own abortion. Stitt said it's "just preposterous" that a woman would be prosecuted for murdering her child. Stitt opposes our abolition bill and supports self-managed abortion. (2/12) koco.com/article/gov-ke…

🧵A few thoughts on this case. First, the defendants are being railroaded. DC Mayor and sociopath Muriel Bowser accused defendant Lauren Handy of "tampering with fetal remains" for taking murdered children out of a dumpster. The politicians involved are evil beyond measure. (1/8)

That the five defendants are being prosecuted for "conspiracy against rights" is instance #715,483,094 of us being a society that calls evil good and good evil. The defendants have committed no evil, nor violated any actual law. (2/8)

🧵Why Abortion Remains Legal in Every State: An SBC Case Study

The first abolitionist resolution was at the 2021 #SBC annual meeting. The Resolutions Committee declined it, but the messengers voted overwhelmingly to bring it to the floor over Nathan Finn's objections. (1/16) I was in the room and would estimate that 85-90% of the messengers voted to override the committee. In years of observing SBC annual meetings, I have never seen the platform overruled by the messengers by such an overwhelming margin. (2/16)

🧵A fantastic case study of the stupidity of incrementalism.

Pressure is building on SBC Executive Committee to support the Mike Law amendment which would establish that the SBC doesn't allow female "pastors." But SBC leaders don't want the amendment. They want a big tent.(1/10)

But pressure is building. They have to do something! So they remove a handful of the hundreds of egalitarian SBC churches to try to take the wind out of the sails of the conservative forces who are trying to pass the Mike Law amendment. (2/10)

🧵The Abolitionist Movement is at the SBC Annual Meeting once again! This will be a running thread of Tuesday's events which relate to abolitionism. As background, our resolution was not submitted by the usual means this year because of an error on the SBC submission website. They said resolutions were due by May 30th when resolutions were actually due May 29th.

🧵The ERLC springs to action for a pro-life bill that will likely save 0 lives, and springs to action to oppose bills that would abolish abortion. (1/5)

This is politics 101. Look like you're doing something (passing do-nothing pro-life laws) while working to make sure that nothing actually changes (opposing abolition). @bradleywpierce spoke on this at the 2021 Abolition Now Conference. (2/5)

🧵 Separation of Church and State? Absolutely.

Separation of God and State? Impossible. (1/6) The Church and State are two separate spheres/jurisdictions. The Church preaches the Word, administers ordinances, practices church discipline, and proclaims the gospel to the nations. The State bears the sword of justice against criminals. (2/6)
