Abstract:
Papers, mainly 1985-1987, of Wiley, a speaker, writer, and activist from Erie, Pennsylvania, who founded Prolifers for Survival (1979-1987) as a bridge between pro-life and anti-nuclear groups. She also organized “We Will Stand Up,” a campaign to promote abortion-free cities for the 1987 papal visit to the U.S., and was a founding lay member of the Pax Center, a Benedictine community for peace and justice. The papers document her evolving stance on the pro-life issue and include her views on peace and disarmament, feminism, and her ties to the Catholic Church. The bulk of the collection consists of her published articles, correspondence and “We Will Stand Up” campaign materials and photographs, but also includes materials on Prolifers for Survival and other pro-life groups, a videotaped television interview, a tape-recorded speech, and a 1994 oral history interview.
