Speaker for Right to Life Banquet: Dr. John
Bruchalski, Former Abortionist!

Daviess/Pike and Martin County Right to Life Groups is pleased to announce that John T. Bruchalski, M.D. a former abortionist will be the 2024 Right to Life Banquet Speaker at the Annual Banquet on October 3rd of this year. Dr. Bruchalski tells of how he went from an abortionist to a pro-life Doctor after an amazing pro-life conversion. You will be moved by his story of how this took place.

Dr. Bruchalski earned his medical degree from the University of South Alabama College of Medicine in 1987 and completed his OB/GYN residency at Eastern Virginia Medical Center and the Jones Institute for Reproductive Medicine in Norfolk, Virginia in 1991 and was board certified in 1993. He began his career in obstetrics and gynecology practicing the full range of reproductive medicine.

He experienced a profound conversion of heart following a live birth during a late-term abortion procedure and resolved to practice life-affirming medicine that supported women, children, and their families. As he explains it, “I came to see that true health care for women is not about rights, but relationships—not about limits, but about love and mercy.”

In 1994, Dr. Bruchalski and his wife, Carolyn, founded Tepeyac OB/GYN in Northern Virginia, a practice that supports fertility counseling, natural family planning, support for abortion-minded and post-abortion patients, and perinatal hospice for families that have received an adverse prenatal diagnosis for their child. As part of the practice of pro-life medicine, Tepeyac OB/GYN provides care to women regardless of ability to pay.

To support that part of Tepeyac OB/GYN’s mission, In 2000, Dr. Bruchalski established Divine Mercy Care, a non-profit foundation that raises funds to support charitable care at Tepeyac OB/GYN and seeks to educate and inspire current and future pro-life medical professionals. In its almost 30 years of operation, Tepeyac OB/GYN has delivered more than 10,000 children, with nearly 30 percent of their mothers receiving financial aid from Divine Mercy Care.

Dr. Bruchalski left the exam room in 2022 to become President of Divine Mercy Care, dedicating his time and energy to fostering a renewal in medicine and educating the next generation of pro-life medical providers. Dr. Bruchalski’s memoir entitled Two Patients was published by Ignatius Press in 2022.

He has been recognized for his witness to life-affirming medicine, most recently receiving the Fishers of Men Award from the Guadalupe Radio Network, the Evangelium Vitae Award from the De Nicola Center for Ethics and Culture at Notre Dame University, and the One of Us Award from the Jerome Lejeune Foundation.
