Frank Schaeffer's parents, Francis and Edith, were best-selling authors who were instrumental in linking the evangelical community with the anti-abortion movement. ( Pro-Life — And In Favor Of Keeping Abortion Legal : )
But after coming of age as an evangelist and helping to organize religious fundamentalists politically, Schaeffer had a crisis of faith: Though he is pro-life, he decided that abortion should remain legal.
Shortly after the presidential election, Schaeffer wrote an open letter on the Huffington Post explaining his views and urging President-elect Barack Obama to support programs that provide care for pregnant women and reduce the number of abortions.
(It looks like Frank keeps going down the wrong road. How can one believe abortion is wrong but still want it to remain legal. Pray that Frank will come back to the faith of his father and take that faith every place he goes in life.)
