Remembering Rita Marker

I’ve relied on a lot of people over the years to help me understand the different dimensions of being pro-life. Rita Marker, founder of the International Anti-Euthanasia Task Force (later known as the Patients Rights Council), long ago introduced me to the public policy side of end-of-life issues. She was a titan in defense of the dignity of life. She recently died, and I’ll honor her memory.

Head to my latest Substack post to read more about her, her invaluable book Deadly Compassion, and how she will affect my vote on November 5. Hint: it’s all about a down-ballot race.
