Audio 5: Abortion and the Church; Chapter 1 (Bloodshed of 20th century); Section 3 (The Church’s Response to Abortion: Protestants and “Whatever Happened to the Human Race?”; Pro-Life Protestants and the Growth of Chemical Abortions)

In the wake of Roe v. Wade, it’s a tragic fact that Evangelicals were silent and compliant. This can be demonstrated in many ways, but the most obvious way is the national barnstorming tour of C. Everett Koop and Francis Schaeffer showing their films and giving lectures based on their jointly authored book Whatever Happened to the Human Race?

It wasn’t until 1979 that Koop and Schaeffer toured the country’s major cities calling attendees to wake up to the horrors of surgical abortions, and their attendees were exclusively Evangelicals.
