"State officials must know that we are serious about stopping abortion,...First, we must make definite that we are in no way talking about any kind of theocracy. Let me say that with great emphasis. Witherspoon, Jefferson, the American Founders had no idea of a theocracy. That is made plain by the First Amendment, and we must continually emphasize the fact that we are not talking about some kind, or any kind, of a theocracy." -- Schaeffer, Francis, A Christian Manifesto, in The Collected Works... Volume 5, pp. 485–86.

Sunday Morning Quote ~ Francis Schaeffer
On this the 39th anniversary of Roe v. Wade, we are reminded of these word from one of my favorite apologists, Francis Schaeffer,
"State officials must know that we are serious about stopping abortion,...First, we must make definite that we are in no way talking about any kind of theocracy. Let me say that with great emphasis. Witherspoon, Jefferson, the American Founders had no idea of a theocracy. That is made plain by the First Amendment, and we must continually emphasize the fact that we are not talking about some kind, or any kind, of a theocracy." -- Schaeffer, Francis, A Christian Manifesto, in The Collected Works... Volume 5, pp. 485–86.
