Pro-life photo of the week: Joe Scheidler
Click to enlarge…
This photo comes by an interesting route. Pro-choice author Robin Marty was in Chicago yesterday doing research for a story, and part of that process involved interviewing pro-life hero Joe Scheidler.
Robin brought photographer Wendi Kent to take professional pictures to go with the story, and I was happy to see they posted one on Twitter, above.
As an aside, I’ve become acquainted with Robin over the course of time, and I love Ann and Joe (and, in fact, we are now sort of related, since my daughter and son-in-law just named their newest addition Scheidler Richard Peter Moore, after Joe).
So I took a day trip yesterday from the southwest side to the north side to say hi to everybody, which was enjoyable.
Joe is a pro-life icon. If I could emulate anyone’s temperament, it would be his - polite to all, kind, funny, deeply committed Christian and family man, and an unswervingly strong and persuasive pro-life apologist. This was a great photo that I think captured all that.
Jill Stanek is a nurse turned speaker, columnist and blogger, a national figure in the effort to protect both preborn and postborn innocent human life.
God bless Joe and all the Scheidlers for their steadfastness and not crumbling in the face of persecution.
Joe & Ann are 30 year friends and have been supportive of the New England battles for the unborn all that time. May God bless them both!
He and his wife are my heroes too along with FR. Frank and JLS.
