The State of Abolition in Connecticut (2025)

As 2025 comes to a close, it is time to speak plainly about the state of abortion abolition in Connecticut. Not pro-life politics. Not incremental reform. Abolition.

A brief history

In 2022, God called me into public evangelism and street preaching. That ministry bore fruit—but not the kind many expect. It produced in me a growing tenacity and an increasing indifference to the opinions of men. When used by the Spirit, these qualities are powerful. When used in the flesh, they are dangerous. I have seen both.

As I stepped away from organized, institutional church life, I became increasingly convinced that the Spirit of God is not working through the modern 501(c)(3) religious-industrial complex. Like the temple of old, the Spirit has departed—and the leaders do not even notice.

They do not notice because they are preoccupied with programs, polished worship services, feel-good sermons, and social respectability. “Rainbow churches” flourish openly, while evangelical churches fade quietly. The explanation is ancient and biblical:

“I cannot endure iniquity and solemn assembly…
Your hands are full of blood.”
— Isaiah 1:13–15

God is not impressed with religious activity while blood cries out from the ground. Connecticut’s churches—pastors and people alike—care nothing for the preborn. They do nothing toward the abolition of abortion. Silence reigns.

What remains of the pro-life movement in Connecticut consists largely of worn-out organizations attempting to revive a dead strategy. After more than fifty years of incrementalism, abortion is legal in every state and increasing in many of them. The results speak for themselves. Incremental retaining walls do not stop a hurricane of injustice.

The pro-life illusion

It must be said plainly that Connecticut Right to Life, the broader pro-life movement, 40 Days for Life, and the annual March for Life have proven to be about as effective at abolishing abortion as placing sandbags in front of a tsunami. They may give participants the feeling of moral engagement, but they do not stop the wave.

These efforts are not merely misguided; they do tremendous harm by perpetuating the illusion of progress. They siphon righteous energy away from abolition and redirect it into endless cycles of prayer walks, symbolic marches, and regulatory tinkering that leave the legal structure of child sacrifice untouched. As long as abortion remains legal, it will continue. The pro-life movement teaches people to feel faithful without demanding justice. In doing so, it pacifies the Church and shields legislators from accountability.

The failure of the Church

I have written pastors across this state. I have asked for meetings. I have pleaded. Not one pastor in Connecticut has shown even minimal interest in abolition. What I have received instead is stone-hearted silence.

Christians in Connecticut do not care.

In 2023, I helped form the Connecticut Foundation to Abolish Abortion, hoping to give genuine abolitionists a place to land. We met. We talked. Some progress was made—but it became clear that most involved did not understand abolition at all. Some wanted to fight LGBTQ issues. Others wanted “just evangelism.” Only two people actually grasped abolition as equal protection under law.

In 2025, the organization imploded.

As is often the case when strong-willed Christians gather around abolition, one member launched an all-out attack against me. He accused me of preaching outside with a hat on. He complained that I talked too much about abortion abolition—inside an abolition organization. He refused to submit to agreed-upon rules, covenants, or basic order.

Despite a covenant and democratic procedures under Robert’s Rules of Order (which I know well as a former presbytery moderator), almost no one had the courage to confront him. I was left with a choice: waste time fighting petty power struggles, or move on.

I moved on.

I immediately founded Abolish Abortion CT (www.AbolishAbortionCT.org)—the only organization in Connecticut actually committed to abolishing abortion.

The Connecticut Foundation continues as a chat group. They talk about gardening. They celebrate individual babies saved at clinics—which is good and beautiful—but that is not abolition. Abolition does not save babies one at a time. Abolition saves every baby, everywhere, always, by law.

After long reflection, I am convinced that the disruption of that organization was not accidental. Division is Satan’s oldest tool, and he often uses sincere but destructive men to wield it. The result was predictable: momentum destroyed, men discouraged, truth sidelined.

In the end, only a couple of men stood with me. The burden now rests largely on my shoulders.

The fatal flaw of pro-life legislation

The path forward is clear. Abolition in Connecticut requires an abolition bill—one that applies existing homicide law equally to all human beings. The Foundation to Abolish Abortion (the national organization, not the defunct Connecticut group) has committed to helping draft such legislation using competent Christian constitutional attorneys.

I continue to seek a Connecticut legislator willing to sponsor such a bill. I have been informed that at least one legislator would be willing to sponsor a heartbeat bill, the standard offering of modern pro-life politics. I refused.

A heartbeat bill is not abolition. It is legalized child sacrifice.

It says, in effect: we will sacrifice innocent human beings without detectable heartbeats in order to save those who have them. No child should ever be sacrificed to save another. This is the fatal flaw of the pro-life movement—it draws moral lines God never drew, ranks image-bearers by developmental milestones, and baptizes injustice in the language of compassion.

This is why pro-life incrementalism cannot and will not succeed. It presents itself as light while operating in darkness. It appears merciful while conceding the core evil. It is not neutrality—it is partiality. And Scripture is clear: partiality in matters of justice is itself an abomination. What masquerades as political wisdom is, in truth, a demonic compromise dressed as an angel of light.

The Capitol and the cost

In March, I stood at the Connecticut State Capitol during a hostile rally. Attorney General William Tong shouted through a bullhorn. I stood peacefully in the crowd and proclaimed—biblically, constitutionally, and calmly—“I am the voice of the unborn.”

A mob surrounded me. I was shoved, kicked, and punched.

Instead of protecting my First Amendment rights on public Capitol grounds, a police officer joined the aggression. He shoved me until I fell. When I asserted my constitutional right to speak and preach the Gospel, he arrested me and charged me with Disorderly Conduct under Connecticut General Statutes §53a-182.

Worse, I was unconstitutionally banned from State Capitol property without judicial review.

A constitutional attorney has taken my case pro bono. The State offered five hours of community service to make it “go away”—a test of whether I would submit quietly.

I refused.

The case is going to trial. I pray it becomes an opportunity to expose corruption, defend free speech, and proclaim abolition before the State.

So where do things stand?

If you look only at Connecticut—its churches, its pastors, its politicians—the state of abolition looks dismal.

If you look at me, and the few who stand with me, it looks weak.

But if you look to the Lord—who He is, what He has done, and what He has promised—abolition has never been brighter.

“He must increase, but I must decrease.”
— John 3:30

I do not care how I am remembered. I do not care who criticizes me. I know what I am called to do.

Abortion not only must be abolished in Connecticut—it will be abolished. Whether today or decades from now, God will not be mocked. Justice will come.

Who will rise up?
