History

RNC/Life was founded by Phyllis Schlafly in the autumn of 1990 after two groups, Republicans for Choice and National Republican Coalition for Choice, publicly announced their intention to provoke a floor fight at the 1992 Republican National Convention in Houston, Texas in order to remove the anti-abortion plank from the convention platform.^[1]^{[non-primary source needed]}

The Republican Party has been the anti-abortion national political party since a resolution in support of efforts to secure a Human Life Amendment to the United States Constitution was adopted at the 1976 Republican National Convention, following the 1973 Roe v. Wade decision.^{[citation needed]}

The executive director of RNC/Life from 1990 to 2010 was Colleen Parro Baillargeon.^[2]

Post Dobbs

After the Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health decision in 2022, the focus of RNC/Life shifted to state legislative action.^[3] They have polled state legislators on pro-life positions and have endorsed pro-life Republicans.^[4]

Ed Martin has been president of RNC/Life since 2013.^[5]
