Ultimately Abolitionist.
Strategically Incrementalist.

Human abortion is a great cultural sin. On that we agree. But how can we best go about bringing an end to America’s blood sacrament? Abolition absolutists will accept nothing short of an immediate and total ban. Inconsistent pro-lifers are willing to settle for various exceptions. But smashmouth incrementalists propose that the most effective way to win the long war against abortion is through uncompromising fighting of strategic battles.

In Smashmouth Incrementalism, Douglas Wilson establishes the biblical case for protecting life, examines the biblical necessity and cultural effectiveness of gradual change, argues for a relentless incrementalism in the war against abortion, and gives thanks for the victories we have already won. And he points to the only ultimate solution—not politics, but repentance, reformation, and revival sought through faithful preaching and fervent prayer.
