Location
Bloomington Event Center

Bloomington, MN 55420
Keynote Speaker Robin Sertell
Meet Robin Sertell, a published author, motivational speaker, ordained pastor and pro-life advocate. Before she was born, God miraculously saved her from three saline infusion abortion attempts. Her book, “Miracles Happen in the Wilderness”, provides a snapshot into the goodness of God in her life, as she conveys her story about the power of forgiveness.
Frequently testifying for pro-life legislation and contributing to The Epoch Times, Fox and Friends, and other news outlets, her message creates awareness of the reality that babies survive abortions. In addition to spreading awareness, she has helped equip a number of abortion survivors from around the world to share their own stories. She has also worked to support her local pregnancy resource center, and is the founder and director of Pro-Life Bitterroot, her local chapter of a growing network of pro-life organizations in her home state of Montana.

Our 2025 Life Defender Award Honorees
Scott and Michelle Fischbach
Michelle proudly represents the 7th District of Minnesota, which covers the western half of Minnesota, reaching from the Canadian border almost all the way down to Iowa. Joining the U.S. House of Representatives in 2021, she now serves on the House Ways & Means Committee and Rules Committee.
Michelle is a trailblazer and proven conservative leader with over 20 years of serving greater Minnesota. She spent her career in the state legislature representing rural Minnesotan communities and continues to fight for them in Congress. She stands up for issues that matter most to her district like agriculture, 2nd Amendment rights, respect for law and order, and defending the unborn.
In 1996, Michelle was elected to the Minnesota Senate in a special election, a position she held until 2018. In 2011, Michelle became the first woman in Minnesota history to serve as President of the Minnesota Senate. She also served as Chair of the Minnesota Senate Higher Education Committee and as the 49th Lieutenant Governor of Minnesota.
A native Minnesotan, Michelle received a B.A. in Political Science from St. Cloud State University and a J.D. from William Mitchell College of Law. She and her husband, Scott, have two children and seven grandchildren and live on a hobby farm in the Paynesville area.
Scott became the executive director of National Right to Life on January 1, 2023. Before coming to National Right to Life, he had served for 22 years as the executive director of Minnesota Citizens Concerned for Life (MCCL).
Under Scott’s leadership, MCCL embarked on numerous educational outreach programs, including the Compassion Media campaign, MNAAS (Minnesotans Against Assisted Suicide), Hispanos por la Vida Hispanic outreach, and the GO! (Global Outreach) program, which provides life-affirming human rights activists worldwide with research and educational materials. While promoting educational outreach, local grassroots development is still most important at MCCL.
Scott hopes to bring the same leadership and determination that was his hallmark at MCCL to the national level and to National Right to Life’s 50 state affiliates. Scott is married to Michelle, and the couple has two adult children and seven grandchildren.
