Pro-Life Action League

The Pro-Life Action League is an American anti-abortion organization founded by Joseph M. Scheidler in Chicago in 1980. The organization's sole mission is to end abortion. Joe Scheidler is the national director, his son, Eric Scheidler, is the executive director, and his wife, Ann Scheidler, is the vice-president of the organization.

It was prominently involved in the Scheidler v. NOW 2006 Supreme Court decision.[1]

The group conducts protests and prayer vigils at abortion clinics. It unsuccessfully campaigned to stop an Aurora Planned Parenthood clinic from opening in September 2007.[2]
