The Susan B. Anthony List, or simply SBA List, is a 501(c)(4) non-profit, non-partisan political action committee[1] that seeks to elect pro-life women to the United States Congress. The group has over 160,000 members as of 2009[2], and is primarily focused advancing pro-life women in politics. The name of the organization stems from suffragist Susan B. Anthony's anti-abortion views. Anthony denounced abortion as "child-murder" and advocated for an end to it. She was skeptical about making it illegal, however, and instead called for identifying destroying the root causes of abortion.[3].

History

According to the official website, the SBA List was founded by a group of women in 1992 after the so-called "Year of the Woman" produced "nothing but pro-abortion women elected to Congress". The women were upset that all but two congresswomen were pro-choice. It was originally created as just a political action committee, but in 1997 it became a 501(c)(4) called the Susan B. Anthony List, with a connected PAC called the SBA List Candidate Fund.[4]

Recent news

The group gained renewed attention during the 2008 presidential election after the nomination of then-Governor Sarah Palin for vice president. They had endorsed her 2006 run for governor.[5] They embraced her candidacy for vice president, and started a social networking site called Team Sarah "dedicated to advancing the values that Sarah Palin represents in the political process."

One of their current projects is keeping abortion coverage out of health care reform.[6] Another project is called "Votes Have Consquences", headed up by former congresswoman Marilyn Musgrave, which is aimed at defeating pro-choice candidates in pro-life districts[7]. It is currently targeting twelve representatives[8] and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid.[9] It is airing an ad in Nevada attacking Reid for saying he is pro-life but not voting that way.[10]

In September 2009, the group endorsed Conservative Party of New York candidate Doug Hoffman over the Republican candidate Dede Scozzafava, saying Scozzafava is an "abortion radical who does not represent the views of the growing majority of pro-life American women."[11]
