Michael Schwartz (1950 – February 3, 2013) was an American leader in the United States anti-abortion movement, a co-founder of the March for Life, and was a founding chairman of the Planned Parenthood watchdog organization Life Decisions International. In 1995, Schwartz was named executive director of the House Family Congressional Caucus. He also worked as a vice president for Concerned Women for America.^[1] He was a member of Operation Rescue and Chief of Staff to Senator Tom Coburn until 2000, and from 2004 to 2012. In November 2012, Schwartz was no longer able to fulfill his duties because of his advancing illness and Senator Tom Coburn paid tribute to Schwartz on the Senate floor as "one of the kindest, gentlest people anyone has ever met".^[2]
