Eric Scheidler

Eric Scheidler is an American pro-life activist and current executive director of Pro-Life Action League. He is the son of Joseph M. Scheidler, the founder of the organization. Part of his work has entailed organizing rallies outside abortion clinics with graphic images of abortions to deter women from pursuing such action.[1][2][3]

In 2012, Scheidler coordinated hundreds of rallies across the country in protest to former president Barack Obama's Contraceptive mandate, mandating all employers provide contraceptive or abortive coverage in health insurance coverage for employees.[4] In 2015, Scheidler organized a campaign to send fake handcuffs to abortion clinics around the country.[5] In March of 2017 he was part of large scale demonstrations demanding the defunding of Planned Parenthood.[6]
