Legacy of Life

Editor   |   October 13, 2023

During the past fifty years, numerous individuals have served the pro-life movement with honor and distinction. We are delighted to share that 50 of them have been singled out to be recognized for their amazing contributions toward the effort of saving babies and protecting their parents from the horrors of abortion. A new book titled Legacy of Life is a collection of tributes that honor pro-life leaders who have demonstrated outstanding contributions to the movement – both living and deceased.

One of the goals of Legacy of Life is to both educate and impassion the next generation of pro-life leaders and make them keenly aware they are part of something larger that resulted in the demise of Roe v. Wade. Every chapter is inspiring and accompanied by engaging photos. You’ll discover previously unknown details about the history of our movement and be moved by the talents, passion, and drive of those depicted in this book.

Founder of Life Issues Institute Dr. Jack Willke is highlighted in the first chapter of “Legacy of Life” and rightfully so. Dr. Willke is widely considered to be the Father of the Pro-Life Movement and his contributions cannot be overstated. Without Jack and Barbara Willke, the pro-life movement as we know it would not exist.

“I was honored to write the tribute to Dr. Jack Willke, known as the Father of the Pro-Life Movement. Hundreds of thousands of people around the world have joined this global pro-life effort because of the materials and efforts of Jack and Barbara Willke.” – Brad Mattes, President of Life Issues Institute

Honored alongside Dr. Willke are other heroes of the pro-life movement like President Ronald Reagan, Joe Scheidler, Lila Rose, and more. Every leader highlighted in the book has tirelessly worked to defend the lives of mother and child.
