CHICAGO, Apr 14 (LSN) – On Thursday, US Congressman Henry Hyde, R-Ill., testified as a character witness for Pro-Life Action League president Joseph Scheidler. Hyde criticized the lawyers for the National Organization of Women (NOW), for their negative portrayal of the peaceful pro-life activist. Hyde testified that he had known Scheidler as an honest man for 25 years. The NOW is attempting to shut down pro-life activity, by engaging pro-life leaders in costly lawsuits. In this case, they are arguing that Mr Scheidler’s remarkably successful campaigns to save vulnerable women and children from the abortion industry amounts to “racketeering.”
