AATX President, Bradley Pierce answers this question in the video above during a panel discussion at the 2023 Founders Conference.

[Moderator] 
What are some ways that you would suggest that we can work towards unity between those who are anti-abortion?

[Bradley Pierce] 
We have to come back to God's Word. We have to unite around God's Word.

You know, the enemies of God take counsel together and they conspire together and they unite together against them.

The friends of God need to conspire together and unite together around God's Word. We have to keep coming back to that.

You know, a lot of the Pro-Life movement has not been built upon the Word of God. It's been built upon worldly wisdom.

Man's strategies say, “Let's see, okay we want to get here but we can't say this because that's unpopular. It may be biblical but it's unpopular, so let's say this and let's take this little step.”

Instead of saying, “This is what God demands.”

Regardless of whether it's popular or unpopular that's not for me. Say, this is what God demands and let's let others compromise. Right?

Let the politicians say, “Okay well we'll give you this.”

Well, yeah, but this is what God demands.

“Okay, well, we'll give you a little bit more.”

Yeah, but this is what God still demands.

You know we have to be willing to bring God's Word. Again, not just in our pulpits and not just in our pews but into our state houses and into our politics.

You know, one time I was in our state legislature and I was talking to one of our politicians there and we had a one-pager document that explained our bill to abolish abortion and he said to me, “Yeah, I was looking this over and hey I'm a Christian I love what you're doing, but people are laughing at you.” Because we had Scripture in our document explaining why they should abolish abortion and vindicate the image of God by protecting it by the law that people are laughing at you.

And I just felt so blessed at that moment: “Blessed are they when they scorn you.”

Again, you bring God's Word, like we talked about in our brief to the U.S Supreme Court in the Dobbs case. Our number one authority is the Holy Bible. We can't drop our swords when we go into battle with the culture. We have the most powerful weapon, the only one that has spiritual significance that cuts and divides the hearts of men. We can't put that aside when we're talking about the culture. And we can't put that aside when we're talking with one another as well.

That's where we find unity and that's where we need to unite is around God's Word.
