Title
Republican National Coalition for Life
Description
The Republican National Coalition for Life (RNC/Life) was founded by Phyllis Schlafly in the fall 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 in order to remove the pro-life plank from the platform.
Throughout 1991 and 1992, the two pro-abortion-choice groups carried on a relentless attack against the official position of the Republican Party which states in part that, "the unborn child has a fundamental individual right to life which cannot be infringed." Their campaign enjoyed massive coverage and support from the media and ample funding from the abortion industry and their friends in the Republican Party.
After securing 100,000 Pledges of Support for the platform plank from grassroots voters across America, and an impressive endorsement list of 3,500 Republican public and Party elected officials, RNC/Life led the successful effort by pro-life national Delegates to readopt the pro-life plank.
