Post Roe Reformation
The fall of Roe v. Wade, long anticipated by conservatives as a victory for the pro-life movement, has not led to the expected decline in abortions that was prophesied. Instead, demand for abortion remains high, with efforts to enshrine abortion rights in state constitutions gaining momentum. In what seems like a bizarre plot twist, leading pro-life organizations are now seeking to expand abortion access in some of the most conservative states, are working toward constitutional protections for mothers who premediate the murder of their preborn children, and are sabotaging bills that would completely criminalize prenatal homicide.
Kayla Suderman's exploration reveals the ideological, political and biblical conflicts between the pro-life and abortion abolition movements, and this examination calls for an urgent reformation within anti-abortion culture to push out the wolves among us and align with biblical principles in order to truly combat the abortion industry in this post-Roe era.

For a long time, I believed Roe v. Wade was the biggest obstacle to ending abortion in the United States. However, when Roe was overturned in 2022, abortion didn't end anywhere. Surprisingly, the demand for it became more widespread and easier to obtain, even in states that considered themselves pro-life. How is it possible that abortion remains accessible and legal in all 50 states after the overturning of Roe v. Wade?
In her book, Kayla Suderman reveals the shocking truth within the pro-life movement, exposing compromises made by pro-life politicians and lobbyists, and the rejection of abolition by the pro-life industry. She provides an extensive amount of evidence to support the reality that the pro-life movement does not aim to end abortion but rather to keep it legal. This contradiction suggests that the movement, which claims to protect life and end abortion, might be doing more harm than good.
Suderman's book forces us to question our approach and consider what we need to do better. The title, "Post-Roe Reformation," is fitting because the movement, instead of aligning with biblical principles to combat abortion effectively, has abandoned God's wisdom for worldly strategies.
What Suderman accomplishes in this book is brilliant. She presents a wealth of data, evidence, and historical comparisons between the rhetoric of gradualists vs. abolitionists during the days of slavery and the rhetoric of incrementalists vs. abolitionists today. This comparison is thought-provoking and clearly delineates which side is right and which is wrong.
There is a lot to digest in this book. It's attention-grabbing and nearly impossible to put down. Despite its length of almost 400 pages, I finished it in less than three weeks because it flowed so well and was engaging throughout. I believe this is the best work you will read on abolitionism. The content is incredible, and the author simplifies complex ideas without leaving out substantial information.
Suderman makes a compelling case that the pro-life movement is not biblically centered. If we genuinely want to see abortion abolished, we need to abandon the pro-life movement and join the abolitionist movement. She not only argues for consistency but also provides various ways to participate in the movement, from simple actions to more extreme but effective measures.
If you are a Christian, this book is for you. Even if you aren't a Christian, this book can still resonate with you, though a new heart may be needed to fully grasp the stakes. I am very thankful for the author's fruitful labor in this book, and I believe it will benefit people for generations to come.
