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.

Senate Candidates Who Championed Pro-Life, Social Conservative Principles Win Decisive Victories

BY SAMUEL SMITH , CP REPORTER  CHRISTIAN POST

Republican Senator Joni Ernst speaks to supporters after the results of the U.S. Senate race in U.S. midterm elections in Iowa in West Des Moines, Iowa, November 4, 2014.

With the results of the midterm election giving control of both the House and Senate to the Republican Party, leaders of two prominent social conservative political action groups said in interviews with The Christian Post that those candidates who fully embraced their conservative stances on social issues were fully rewarded by the voters.

Tony Perkins, president of the social conservative advocacy group Family Research Council, and Marjorie Dannenfelser, president of the Susan B. Anthony List, agreed that Republican candidates who either supported abortion or hid their views on abortion and other social issues did not fare as well as those who fully supported the social conservative principles that many think hinders the GOP in the modern political climate.

"I think what you saw here are candidates who embrace the values, the values voters embrace them," Perkins said. "I think this was a clear referendum on Barack Obama and his liberal policies, and I think that is going to come with a mandate to the Republicans that they address these issues and address them quickly."

Perkins noted Republican Kansas Senator Pat Roberts as a prime example of what touting conservative social principles did in the grand scheme of one Senate election.

Although polling leading up to the elections showed Roberts was in serious danger of losing his seat to independent candidate Greg Orman, Perkins said Roberts' late push in the election cycle, where he advocated heavily for pro-life and other conservative social stances, helped him to win reelection even though many thought his career might be coming to an end.

"The reason why I say Roberts, in particular, was because he was down significantly and almost left for political dead and he did not run from those values issues, rather he embraced them," Perkins said.

Tom Cotton, who won election as Arkansas Senator, and Joni Ernst, who won the vacant Iowa Senate seat, both campaigned heavily on pro-life and traditional marriage platform and both won their elections by decisive margin. Ernst replaces retiring Democratic Senator Tom Harkin, while Cotton displaces Democratic incumbent Mark Pryor.

Dannenfelser claims that Ernst's election represents the perfect symbolism of a new GOP-controlled Senate that will attempt to pass pro-life legislation.

"Ernst is the most significant among the Susan B. Anthony list's efforts, because this is an unapologetic pro-life woman who will be on the floor for the U.S. Senate advocating for pro-life legislation," Dannenfelser said. "And that is an enormous victory for women and the Susan B. Anthony List. Everything that we have done for this election is for gaining the Senate and having a woman be a great spokeswoman in the Senate."

Both Dannenfelser and Perkins agree that Scott Brown, a Republican who lost to Democratic New Hampshire Senator Jeanne Shaheen, only hurt himself in this election by not staying true to the Republican social principles. Brown never made clear his stances on abortion or gay marriage during his campaign, although it's alleged that he is pro-abortion and pro-gay marriage.

"I think the main problem with Scott Brown is that he never clarified what he believed at all. He could have carved out a consensus play, which would say, 'I'm not for all pro-life measures but I am definitely for a late-term restriction,'" Dannenfelser said. "He could have done something like that. It would have been smart to do something like that, and he didn't do that. He did not gain the advantage that all of our other candidates did and that was a huge mistake on his part."

In one of the most expensive Senate campaigns in history, North Carolina's incumbent Senator Kay Hagan was ousted by Republican challenger Thom Tillis. Dannenfelser sees Tillis' victory, along with Mark Udall's loss in Colorado, as a clear indication that the Democratic Party's "War on Women" campaign attack against the Republican Party is now officially dead.

"I believe that the abortion-centered 'War on Women' message has just died. It is dead in the water," Dannenfelser said. "Kay Hagan was an Emily's List candidate. Emily's list advice was 'do not talk about abortion.' She did not. She only reluctantly admitted that she was against the pain-capable bill. I think it is one more piece of evidence that the war on women manipulation is dead now."

With a conservative majority in the Senate, Dannenfelser said that Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell had promised that he would advance a vote on the Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act, which would prohibit abortions after five months of pregnancy. The bill passed the House in 2013 but has been stalled in the Senate.

"When that occurs we will have a majority pro-life Senate that will vote for that bill and that means that we will see a potential veto by this president, and the Senate will be very important in defining the next presidential race," Dannenfelser said.

Perkins added that the Republican majority needs to "fulfill some of these promises" and work quickly to repeal some of the liberal policies established by the Obama administration.

"What we have been hearing up to this point is that Harry Reid is blocking this reform. That won't be a legitimate excuse anymore, as the Republicans control both the House and the Senate," Perkins said. "They will have to fulfill some of these promises that have been made to turn this country around and undo what this president has done."
