Tom Brejcha is a Catholic husband and father of two who has been litigating cases in federal and state courts over the last four and a half decades. For the last 17 years, he has served as president and chief counsel of the Thomas More Society.

Tom grew up on Chicago’s South Side, attending Catholic schools and graduating with honors from Notre Dame. He also served as an Army Captain in Vietnam for which he was awarded a Bronze Star and an Army Commendation Medal. In 1986, Tom volunteered to assist the principal named defendants in the infamous NOW (National Organization of Women) vs. Scheidler case (as in Joe Scheidler who was a guest on this program back on show #18).

In the NOW vs. Scheidler case the abortion industry succeeded in pressing charges against peaceful pro-life advocates using the RICO Act, a law designed to combat organized crime. The NOW case was so vast and complex that it crowded Tom out of his business law practice. When his law partners told him to “quit the case or quit the firm,” he resigned his law partnership and co-founded the Thomas More Society with Joe and Ann Scheidler in March, 1997. NOW vs. Scheidler went before the U.S. Supreme Court three times. The pro-life defendants prevailed on the merits by decisive margins of 8-1 in 2003 and then again by 8-0 in 2006 (Justice O’Connor retired before the decision was handed down or else it would have been 9-0). The case finally drew to a close (28 years after its filing!).

Tom has testified before U.S. Congressional Committees, has appeared on many national and local media outlets, and has been a featured speaker at many major conferences.
