Joseph Scheidler

Joseph M. Scheidler (born 7 September, 1927) is a noted American pro-life activist, National Director of the Pro-Life Action League, former Benedictine monk, and named defendant in the NOW v. Scheidler litigation, a 19-year saga which was ultimately resolved in Scheidler's favor by the U.S. Supreme Court in 2006. He is affectionately known as the "Father of Pro-Life Activism". Scheidler lives in Chicago with his wife Ann, and has seven children and eighteen grandchildren, many of whom are involved in his organization.
