Former Anti-Abortion Activist Regrets Role in Creating Pro-life "Propaganda" | Amanpour & Company

May 5, 2022 • Americans on both sides of the abortion issue are fired up following the leak of a draft opinion that shows the Supreme Court has voted to end a women's right to choose after nearly 50 years. The Governor of Oklahoma has now signed a law banning abortion after 6 weeks. It's modeled on a controversial Texas law that allows citizens to collect pay for helping with enforcement. Abortion is at the center of America's culture wars. How did it become so divisive an issue? Evangelical Christian groups have rallied to limit access to abortion for years. Francis Schaeffer is an evangelical scholar whose son Frank encouraged him to campaign against Roe v. Wade with Christian literature and movies. Frank joins Christiane from Boston to explain why he now regrets his role in the controversy. Originally aired on May 5, 2022.
