Dr. John C. Willke, an obstetrician who helped establish the modern anti-abortion movement — and whose idea that rape victims could resist conception was widely challenged — died on Friday at his home in Cincinnati. He was 89.
His daughter Marie Meyers confirmed the death.
Dr. Willke was a former president of the National Right to Life Committee, the nation’s oldest and largest anti-abortion organization. He and his wife, Barbara, a nurse, founded Right to Life of Greater Cincinnati in the early 1970s and lobbied against Roe v. Wade, the 1973 Supreme Court ruling that legalized abortion. They supported peaceful protests at abortion clinics across the country and spoke out against the use of violence in the name of their cause.

Prayers for Mr. Willke’s. I’ll have to read up on him.
Here is a sample of one of his pro-life writings:

Looks like a whole pamphlet.
Thanks for posting the story.
I wonder how many babies he saved.
In a world where “conservatives” are busy crying “He doesn’t LOVE America!” in concert with babykiller Giuliani, this man saved the unborn. HE was a hero.
RIP
RIP Dr Wilkie.
Millions no doubt. A good man. He DID love America and all people.
Dr. Willke was in leadership of NRL before it moved into became a cog in the GOPe political machine.
RIP.
