The Thomas More Society in Chicago is celebrating a birthday as it continues to fight to preserve life and constitutional freedoms.
Thomas More Society was born fifteen years ago, fathered by attorney Tom Brejcha, for the sake of defending Joe Scheidler of the Pro-Life Action League who had been sued by the National Organization for Women. The National Organization for Women accused Scheidler of racketeering because of his work to save the lives of preborn children. Scheidler says Brejcha and the Thomas More Society went to the U.S. Supreme Court three times before gaining victory.
"A decision in our favor was that we were not racketeers," Scheidler says. "We had put our house in escrow, we were being assessed triple damages as they do in racketeering, and all of that was thrown out because of the diligent work of Tom Brejcha and the Thomas More Society."
During that period, Thomas More Society was not solely focused on that major case.
"Now Tom has gone on to take dozens and dozens of cases similar to ours," Scheidler tells OneNewsNow. "And one reason I wanted Tom was because when we went out to lunch and he first was being introduced to me, he said, 'I win cases.' And that was what I needed to hear."
In fact, Brejcha looks for cases to handle, including representing Live Action in their ongoing ministry to expose the abortion industry for what it is.
