Speaker Bio

Wendy Wright

Wendy Wright is the President of Concerned Women for America, the nation's largest public policy women's organization.  Miss Wright has focused on sanctity of life and international issues for more than 15 years, and is frequently interviewed in national media on moral, social, and political issues. She helps promote legislation and international policies that are beneficial to women and families, briefs congressional and administration staff on pro-family issues, and trains grassroots activists.

Miss Wright has testified at the Food and Drug Association (FDA) Advisory Committee hearing on keeping the morning-after pill as prescription only and has coordinated the current challenge by doctors and women of the FDA’s politicized approval of the abortion drug RU-486. Their challenge is based on the drug not meeting safety standards for patients.

She has lobbied at and reported on United Nations conferences on human rights, cloning, women’s rights, population control and children’s rights. She has also testified before a congressional Human Rights caucus exposing attempts to legalize prostitution through the United Nations.

Miss Wright has been involved in freedom of speech cases before the U.S. Supreme Court, Texas Supreme Court and Florida Supreme Court. Her international experience includes teaching at the Sri Lanka Bible College, training leaders of pro-family organizations in Mexico, and advocating on behalf of Chinese refugees fleeing China’s brutal forced abortion and sterilization population program.

Miss Wright was named among "The 100 Most Powerful Women of Washington" in 2006 by the Washingtonian Magazine. The National Pro-Life Religious Council awarded her for "continuous leadership in the cause of life."
