Abortion abolitionism is an absolutist anti-abortion philosophy and approach. We dissent from mainstream anti-abortion groups—commonly described as "pro-life" groups—that have become increasingly incrementalistic and inconsistent. Unlike modern "pro-life" groups, abolitionists oppose compromise when it comes to abortion. We believe in equal protection from the moment of conception, and we demand legislation that recognizes the human rights of the unborn by abolishing abortion from the moment a human being comes into existence at fertilization. We believe that abortion should be classified as homicide under federal and international law, and that the killing of an unborn child must be treated equally to the killing of a newborn child. We advocate for the abolition of abortion not only in the United States, but also around the world.
