CHICAGO, January 13, 2009 (LifeSiteNews.com) - This is the first of a short series of LifeSiteNews.com articles in which we ask major leaders in the pro-life movement their impressions of the current status of the movement, where we're headed and the best response to the Obama administration. The first to comment in the series is one of the most senior and well known figures in the movement - Joe Scheidler, the founder and President of the Chicago-based Pro-Life Action League.
Q. Where are we today in the pro-life movement facing the Obama Administration?
R. We're going into a crisis with this circus that's going on. But I'm thinking deep down this might be what we need to get rid of the whole goofy Democratic attitude.
Q. How do you think we got here?
R. These things are all planned out way ahead of time. There's no way Obama could be where he is if there weren't a lot of power behind and a lot of planning. He was totally unknown, working in a community, and suddenly he's president of the United States. How does that happen? There's a machine going and he just was picked. (Scheidler compared the situation to the movie 'The Candidate' starring Robert Redford) I feel that there almost has been a re-run.

As LifeNews.com has reported, Obama selected Thomas Perrelli, who is best known as the right-to-kill lawyer who represented Terri Schiavo's husband pro-bono in his suit to euthanize his wife.
In the Obama administration, Perrelli will occupy the third highest post in the Justice Department.
Tom McClusky of the Family Research Council, conducted media interviews outlining how Perrelli's appointment as associate attorney general was "detrimental" to the pro-life movement.
In the media world, however, Perrelli seems to have at least one staunch ally -- Olbermann.
Olbermann, host of MSNBC's "Countdown," highlighted McClusky's quote in a recent broadcast and named him "the worst person in the world" for criticizing Perrelli's nomination...
