Frank Schaeffer on Abortion

This bit is from a chapter on abortion in his memoir Crazy for God. Plenty of food for thought even if I don't agree with it all. Frank Schaeffer looks to have achieved the "double revolution" that Péguy deemed so precious...

"We will never find a 'good' solution to the question of abortion. What we need to do is to back away from the idea that there is an ideological 'fix' to every problem. Then again, that's just one opinion. And I could be wrong. I often am."

David, my brother. What are we to make of Frank Schaeffer's agonostic approach to abortion?

The poor man seems lost. Or am I missing something?
