How abortion arrived at the center of US culture wars

Amanpour - Een podcast door CNN

Americans on both sides of the abortion issue are fired up following the leak of a draft opinion that shows the Supreme Court looks likely to end a women's right to choose after nearly 50 years. The issue has long split the two political parties and the country, but how did it get this way? Francis Schaeffer is an evangelical scholar whose son Frank encouraged him to campaign against Roe v. Wade with Christian literature and movies they were producing. He joins Christiane from Boston to explain why he now regrets the role he played.  Also on today's show: Former New Jersey Governor Chris Christie, author John Avlon.
