Key Leaders
The Pro-Life Action League was founded by Joseph M. Scheidler in 1980; he is currently the National Director. Joe's wife, Ann, is the Executive Director. Eric Scheidler, their son, is the League's Communications Director.Organizational Background and Activities
This organization coordinates a variety of activity around the Chicago area. They encourage "sidewalk counseling" (a nice way to say patient harassment), public protests (with graphic photos of fetuses), youth outreach through Generations for Life, and "confronting abortionists" (more harassment).
PLAL also sponsored the Contraception Is Not the Answer conference in September 2006. After Tyler reported on the conference, they called her a pro-abortion spy and claimed that "the pro-abort crowd is scared."
