Susan B. Anthony List
The Susan B. Anthony List (SBA List) is a 501(c)(4) non-profit〔(GuideStar: Susan B. Anthony List non-profit status )〕 organization that seeks to reduce and ultimately end abortion in the U.S. by supporting pro-life politicians, primarily women,〔(Electing ), Susan B. Anthony List website; accessed June 17, 2014.〕 through its SBA List Candidate Fund political action committee.〔〔(SBA List endorsement process )〕 In 2011, it reported it had 333,000 members.〔("A feminine face for the anti-abortion movement" ), washingtonpost.com; November 2, 2011; accessed June 17, 2014.〕
Founded in 1993 by sociologist and psychologist Rachel MacNair, the SBA List was a response to the success of the pro-choice group EMILY's List, which was partly responsible for bringing about the 1992 "Year of the Woman" in which a significant number of women, all pro-choice, were elected to Congress. MacNair wished to help pro-life women gain high public office. She recruited Marjorie Dannenfelser and Jane Abraham as the first experienced leaders of SBA List. Dannenfelser is now president of the organization and Abraham is chairman of the board. Named for suffragist Susan B. Anthony, SBA List identifies itself with Anthony and several 19th-century women's rights activists; SBA List argues that Anthony and other early feminists were opposed to abortion. Regarding Anthony's beliefs, the SBA List has been challenged by scholars and pro-choice activists. Anthony scholar Ann D. Gordon and Anthony biographer Lynn Sherr write that Anthony "spent no time on the politics of abortion".
==Founding==
The formation of the SBA List was catalyzed in March 1992 when Rachel MacNair, head of Feminists for Life, watched a ''60 Minutes'' television documentary profiling IBM-heiress Ellen Malcolm and the successful campaign-funding activities of her Democratic pro-choice group EMILY's List. MacNair, a peace activist and pro-life Quaker, was motivated to organize the Susan B. Anthony List for the purpose of countering EMILY's List by providing early campaign funds to pro-life women candidates.〔 Led by FFL and MacNair, 15 pro-life groups formed an umbrella organization, the National Women's Coalition for Life (NWCL), which adopted a joint pro-life statement on April 3, 1992.
Also inspired by EMILY's List, in 1992 the WISH List was formed to promote pro-choice candidates who were members of the opposing Republican Party. In November 1992 after many of the pro-choice candidates won their races to create what was termed the "Year of the Woman", MacNair announced the formation of the SBA List, describing its purpose as endorsing and supporting women who held pro-life beliefs without regard to party affiliation. MacNair determined to challenge the EMILY's List and the WISH List notion that the top female politicians were primarily pro-choice. She said the SBA List would not support right-wing political candidates. "We want good records on women's rights – probably not Phyllis Schlafly".〔 The NWCL sponsored the SBA List with $2,485 to create it as a political action committee (PAC)〔The SBA List was formed as a political action committee with the Federal Election Commission identification number C00280057.〕 on February 4, 1993, listing MacNair as the first secretary; the group operated out of MacNair's office inside a crisis pregnancy center on East 47th Street in Kansas City, Missouri.〔〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Page by Page Report Display (Page 1 of 2) )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Page by Page Report Display (page 6 of 13) )〕 The first SBA List public event was held the same month at the Washington, D.C., headquarters of the National Woman's Party. Organized by founding board member Susan Gibbs, the "kickoff" event raised "more than $9000".
