Matt Birk is a 15 year veteran of the National Football League. 

He was recognized as the 2011 NFL Walter Payton Man of the Year, which acknowledges

 off the field contributions to the community as well as on the field accomplishments. 

Named to the Pro Bowl 6 times, Matt’s career culminated in February of 2013 in a 

Super Bowl win as a member of the Baltimore Ravens.

Following the Raven’s victory, Matt chose not to participate in the White House Super Bowl 

celebratory meeting with President Obama because of the president’s support for 

Planned Parenthood, a decision that received significant media coverage.

Matt and his wife, Adrianna, are both actively involved in the Pro-Life Movement, 

including with their local pregnancy center and past participation in pro-life marches. 

The couple have 6 children and currently reside in Greenwich, CT.


Sue Ellen Browder is a freelance writer who has appeared 

on Oprah, theToday Show, and hundreds of radio talk shows. Her work for 

Cosmopolitan, New Woman, Woman’s Day, and other magazines has given her 

a lifetime of experience with the women’s movement as it unfolded in the media, 

both on the public stage and behind the scenes. Trained at the University of Missouri 

School of Journalism to be an investigative journalist, Browder unwittingly betrayed 

her true calling and became a propagandist for sexual liberation. She did not realize 

until much later that propagandists higher and cleverer than herself were influencing 

her thinking and her personal choices as they subverted the women’s movement. Her 

most recent book Subverted: How I Helped the Sexual Revolution Hijack the 

Woman’s Movement sets the record straight and illumines a way forward for others 

who have suffered from the unholy alliance between the women’s movement and 

the sexual revolution.


Jim Daly was named president of Focus on the Family in 2005 

after 16 years with the ministry. Under his leadership, the organization has taken on 

a major role nationally in encouraging and helping facilitate foster-care adoptions, 

earning recognition from the White House and Congress for its efforts. The ministry 

also has reinvigorated its traditional focus on helping couples build strong marriages 

and raise healthy, resilient kids. Daly started his career at Focus in 1989 as an assistant 

to the president, fostering relationships with the ministry’s supporters. He was appointed

 international field director for Asia, Africa and Australia in 1992, and in 1997 was 

promoted to vice president of the International Division. In 2004, Daly was appointed 

chief operating officer, the role he held until he was handpicked by Focus on the Family

 founder Dr. James Dobson to be the group’s president.


Marjorie Dannenfelser is an original organizer of the Susan B. Anthony 

List (SBA List), and is the organization’s President. In this role, Marjorie directs the mission 

of SBA List and serves as its primary spokeswoman. Under her leadership, the organization

 has grown to more than 365,000 members nationwide.

Marjorie was recently named one of Newsmax’s top 25 Most Influential Republican Women 

and one of Newsweek’s top ten “Leaders of the Christian Right.”

She serves on the boards of the Alliance Defending Freedom, Constituting Culture Foundation 

and Chosen Families, a ministry to families who have special needs children. Prior to launching 

the Susan B. Anthony List, Marjorie served on Capitol Hill as staff director of the 

Congressional Pro-life Caucus. Prior to her work on Capitol Hill, she worked at the

 Heritage Foundation. She is originally from North Carolina and is a graduate of

 Duke University. Marjorie lives in Arlington, Virginia with her husband Marty and 

their five children, ages 12-21.


Dr. Marguerite Duane, a board certified family physician and 

Adjunct Associate Professor at Georgetown University, is co-founder and 

Executive Team Leader of FACTS – the Fertility Appreciation Collaborative to 

Teach the Science. Dr. Duane formerly served as the medical director of the 

Spanish Catholic Center of Catholic Charities of the Archdiocese of Washington, DC 

and as the Family Medicine Clerkship Director at Georgetown University. She received 

her M.D. degree with recognition in primary care from the State University of New York

 at Stony Brook and completed her Family Medicine residency at Lancaster General Hospital 

in Lancaster, PA. Dr. Duane received a Bachelor of Science with Honors degree and a 

Master of Health Administration degree from Cornell University in 1992 and 1994, respectively.

Dr. Duane balances her career as a teacher and Family Physician, with her role as a 

mother and wife. She is proud to be accompanied on this life’s journey by her husband 

and fellow family physician, Dr. Kenneth Lin, and they are delighted to be the parents 

of 4 young children, Isaac Thomas, Eden Rose, Ellis John, and Gianna Marie Lin.


Senator Joni Ernst has dedicated her life to Iowa and her country, 

having served in the military for over 23 years and now in the United States Senate.

In November 2014, Joni was elected as the first woman to serve in federal elected office 

from the State of Iowa and also became the first female combat veteran elected to serve 

in the United States Senate. In Washington, Joni serves on four Senate committees of 

major importance to Iowans: Armed Services; Agriculture, Nutrition and Forestry; 

Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs; and Small Business and Entrepreneurship.

Joni is focused on growing a vibrant economy and ensuring the government runs 

effectively and efficiently which means cutting out-of-control spending, reducing 

taxes, eliminating harmful regulations and balancing the budget.

Joni resides in Red Oak, Iowa with her husband Gail and their daughter Libby.


Carleton (Carly) S. Fiorina was born Cara Carleton Sneed in 

Austin, Texas on September 6, 1954. After dropping out of law school, she became an 

AT&T management trainee. She moved up the company ladder and became the first 

female officer in the Network Systems division. In 1998, she was put in charge of 

Lucent’s Global Service Provider division. A year later, she was tapped as CEO of 

Hewlett-Packard. After the controversial merger with Compaq Computers didn’t 

meet expectations, Fiorina was forced to resign. She then became a consultant for 

Republican candidates. In 2010, Fiorina made a run for Congress in California.

abortion clinic worker turned ardent human rights advocate. She is a writer, public 

speaker, has appeared on TV and radio programs, and is featured in the documentary 

film “40” about abortion in America. She is a featured contributor in the book

high school dropout who went on to earn a Master of Arts degree in Psychology 

from Yeshiva University and is a stay-at-home mother who occasionally blogs 

at jewelsgreen.com.


Singer, songwriter, and speaker, Caitlin Jane, not only puts 

on a powerful concert with her gift of music, but delivers along with it a beautiful 

message of hope in a broken world. Boldly using her platform on behalf of the 

unborn, she speaks truth with love and helps open once-hardened hearts to see 

the sanctity of life through song and film. Ray Ruddy, the President of the 

Gerard Health Foundation & Life Prizes, has said of her ministry, “The emotion 

in her music and depth of her lyrics make Caitlin Jane one of the most gripping 

Christian artists today.” Caitlin Jane has toured nationally and internationally, 

intertwining music, faith, and life seamlessly at each and every venue. Her latest 

album, Coming Season, includes the powerful pro-life song “Unborn,” 

which has been instrumental in helping save countless little one’s lives.

Caitlin Jane finds joy in sharing her songs and passion for life across the country 

at various pro-life events, as well as women’s groups, churches, universities, and 

youth groups.


Russell Moore serves as the eighth president of the 

Ethics & Religious Liberty Commission of the Southern Baptist Convention, 

the moral and public policy agency of the nation’s largest Protestant denomination.

A widely-sought cultural commentator, Dr. Moore has been recognized by a 

number of influential organizations. The Wall Street Journal has called him 

“vigorous, cheerful, and fiercely articulate” while The Gospel Coalition has 

referred to him “one of the most astute ethicists in contemporary evangelicalism.”

An ethicist and theologian by background, Dr. Moore is also an ordained Southern Baptist 

minister and the author of several books including Onward: Engaging the Culture 

Without Losing the Gospel. He blogs frequently at his website, russellmoore.com,
