Missy Martinez-Stone is a nationally recognized expert on ensuring the accountability of abortion facilities for their unsafe and illegal practices, ultimately leading to their closure. In 2018, she was asked to help develop an innovative women's advocacy organization, resulting in the launch of Reprotection in January 2020. This organization has since evolved into the Center for Client Safety, with Missy Martinez-Stone serving as the President and CEO. Through her dedicated efforts, Missy has played a pivotal role in suspending the operations of four abortion facilities within the past two years while concurrently spearheading ongoing investigations in more than 30 states. Missy started her pro-life career in 2013 at Students for Life of America, initially as the National High School Program Coordinator. She substantially expanded Students for Life groups nationwide in public and private high schools. She then took on the role of National Field Director, overseeing a rapidly expanding team of Regional Coordinators. Under her guidance, Students for Life crossed a significant milestone of supporting over 1,000 student groups. Missy also served on the board of directors at Choices Women’s Center, a pregnancy resource center in Fredericksburg, Virginia. She led the Student Outreach Committee in this capacity, significantly enhancing the pregnancy center's presence at local high schools and colleges. Missy's notable accomplishments have earned her recognition in prominent media outlets, including the New York Times, the Washington Post, the Christian Broadcasting Network, and various other national publications.
