Wednesday, the Marco Rubio for President campaign announced the formation of its Dignity of Life Advisory Board.
“Marco personally and deeply believes that all human life is worthy of the protection of our laws,” the campaign stated in a press release announcing the move. “This is not a political issue for him; it’s a question of basic human rights. As he strives to uphold the fundamental principle that every life has inherent dignity as a unique being created in the image of God, he seeks guidance from experts who are committed to the same.”
The new advisory board consists of the following members:
- Steve Aden, Senior Counsel and Director of Center for Life Alliances, Alliance Defending Freedom
- Helen Alvare, Professor of Law, George Mason University; Founder, Women Speak for Themselves
- Francis Beckwith, Professor of Philosophy and Church-State Studies, Baylor University
- Kristan Hawkins, President, Students for Life
- Abby Johnson, Founder, And Then There Were None
- Scott Klusendorf, President, Life Training Institute
- Albert Mohler, President, The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary
- Dr. George O. Wood, General Superintendent, Assemblies of God
- Ravi Zacharias, Founder and President, Ravi Zacharias International Ministries
“The unjust termination of the unborn is the social justice issue of our time,” Rubio’s director of faith outreach, Eric Teetsel, said. “They cannot defend themselves; it is up to us. Abortion is symptomatic of a culture that devalues all human life. Marco respects the dignity of human life, including the lives of women facing the crisis of unplanned pregnancy, the jobless, mentally ill, disabled, elderly and all others on the margins of society.”
