August 23, 1989—League Director Joe Scheidler spends three grueling hours on WLS radio’s Bob Lassiter talk show. At the beginning of the show, Lassiter warns listeners that he likes to hear himself talk; Joe says it’s the most accurate thing he says the whole show. Lassiter admits to having helped his girlfriend get an abortion and tells Joe, “I think guys like you are a disgrace.” He even ridicules and hangs up on a 12-year-old pro-life caller.
