(Evangelical) Frank Schaeffer: Pro-life and Pro-Obama
Zoecarnate ^ | 7 Feb 2008 | Frank Schaeffer

Posted on 06/08/2008 11:12:24 AM PDT by big'ol_freeper

“I am an Obama supporter. I am also pro-life. In fact, without my family’s involvement in the pro-life movement it would not exist as we know it. Evangelicals weren’t politicized until after my late father and evangelical leader Francis Schaeffer, Dr. Koop (Reagan’s soon-to-be Surgeon General) and I stirred them up over the issue of abortion in the mid-1970s. Our Whatever Happened to the Human Race? book, movie series and seminars brought the evangelicals into the pro-life movement.

“In 2000, we elected a president who claimed he believed God created the earth and who, as president, put car manufacturers and oil company’s interests ahead of caring for that creation. We elected a pro-life Republican Congress that did nothing to actually care for pregnant women and babies. And they took their sincere evangelical followers for granted, and played them for suckers…the “pro-life” ethic of George W. Bush manifested itself in a series of squandered opportunities to call us to our better natures. After 9/11, Bush told most Americans to go shopping while saddling the few who volunteered for military service with endless tours of duty (something I know a little about since my son was a Marine and deployed several times). The Bush doctrine of life was expressed by starting an unnecessary war in Iraq that has killed thousands of Americans and wounded tens of thousands more.

“Today when I listen to Obama speak (and to his remarkable wife, Michelle) what I hear is a world view that actually nurtures life. Obama is trying to lead this country to a place where the intrinsic worth of each individual is celebrated. A leader who believes in hope, the future, trying to save our planet and providing a just and good life for everyone is someone who is actually pro-life.”

This is a VERY strange political season.

Beware the wolves in sheep’s clothing.

Socialism is a rabid wolf.

You got that right. There are a whole slew of these guys around now. Solid Christians used to be solidly conservative. Now we see this conservative Catholic theologian, Kriec, and this guy..as well as others. There are obviously some very confused folks out there.

The son of the great Francis Shaeffer has fallen away into apostasy.

This guy is voting for Obama, ‘cause he was duped by Dubya?

How stupid is that! Wait’ll Obama’s minions enforce a Human Rights Tribunal like Canada has. This guy won’t be able to breathe without permission.

I thought Frankie Schaeffer converted to Eastern Orthodoxy?

I am sure Hitler promised ‘hope, “celebrating an individuals self worth, and a good life for all” just like the Antichrist is doing now.

Frank Schaeffer is not an evangelical. He's converted some years ago to the Orthodox Church.
Obama is trying to lead this country to a place where the intrinsic worth of each individual is celebrated.

Yeah, great, whatever. Obama wants me disarmed, ie. dead. By me, that's not pro-life.

Here is scriptural support for this:

Matthew 24:10-14

10Then many will fall away,* and they will betray one another and hate one another. 11And many false prophets will arise and lead many astray. 12And because of the increase of lawlessness, the love of many will grow cold. 13But anyone who endures to the end will be saved. 14And this good news* of the kingdom will be proclaimed throughout the world, as a testimony to all the nations; and then the end will come.

Supporting someone who supports downright infanticide is not pro-life.

The title is a bit misleading. Franky is not an evangelical.

He hasn’t left all of his roots, and I suspect he’ll be back someday - but it’s a gross exaggeration to say he’s an evangelical.

What a punk! Taking credit for all his father’s fine pro-life work in one breath, and throwing it all away for Obama in the next.

Francis Schaeffer would be so very very disappointed in this half-wit son of his.

No way can this guy be pro-life and pro-Obama.

Obama has voted repeatedly for abortion and partial birth abortion.

He also accepts money from Planned Parenthood, and saw that Planned Parenthood got an earmark.

‘Bama = corruption and killing humans.

Change your mind Frank Schaeffer!

It’s English, but it makes absolutely no sense.
