Marjorie Jones Dannenfelser is President of the Susan B. Anthony List, an American political organization that seeks to advance pro-life women in politics.〔(Susan B. Anthony List website )〕 She was brought into the organization as its executive director in 1993, shortly after its founding. ==Activism== Ardently pro-choice as a college student, Marjorie Jones was the "pro-choice chair" of the Duke University College Republicans. While spending a summer interning with the Heritage Foundation, Jones roomed with several other interns. She became pro-life after a "bitter schism" in the house over the destruction of an "inappropriate" pornographic video between the libertarians and social conservatives in the house. Dannenfelser has said, "It made me choose sides", and she left the house with the social conservatives. The "domestic dispute began the gradual transformation that led Dannenfelser to her current antiabortion crusade, her conversion to Catholicism and" SBA List, according to a 2010 Washington ''Post'' profile.〔Horowitz, Jason, ("Woman who supported abortion rights experienced evolution that changed her mind" ), Washington ''Post'', May 14, 2010.〕 Prior to joining the Susan B. Anthony List, Dannenfelser was the staff director of the Congressional Pro-Life Caucus〔 and worked for U.S. House Representative Alan Mollohan (D-WV), whom the SBA List later worked to defeat in the 2010 Democratic primary.〔("Right claiming Alan Mollohan's scalp" )〕 Mollohan was defeated in the primary by the pro-life Mike Oliverio. She began running the SBA List in 1993 out of her home in Arlington, Virginia, after SBA List founder Rachel MacNair brought her on board as the first experienced political activist to join the group.〔〔(History of SBA List )〕 Dannenfelser was soon joined by Jane Abraham and the two led SBA List from 1993 to 2006 when Dannenfelser assumed both the chairman and president positions. The organization, headquartered in Washington, D.C., lobbies lawmakers and spends millions of dollars per year supporting candidates. In August 2013 ''Newsmax'' magazine named Dannenfelser one of the "25 Most Influential Republican Women", citing her work as SBA List president. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Marjorie Dannenfelser」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
