HOUSTON, Texas – According to the Cruz website, Presidential candidate Ted Cruz announced his pro-life coalition at a pro-life rally yesterday in Des Moines, Iowa. Tony Perkins, President of Family Research Council is the Chair of Pro-Lifers for Cruz and will be participating in the rally as Cruz announces the group, which already has 17,334 members. Cruz has always strongly advocated for the sanctity of life and believes every life matters and should be protected by law. He has been on the forefront of this battle his entire adult life, from winning a case before the Supreme Court banning partial birth abortion to leading the fight to remove federal funding for Planned Parenthood.
The pro-life coalition will be chaired by Tony Perkins, President of Family Research Council. Co-Chairs will include former Virginia Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli; Carol Everett, Founder and President of Heidi Group and former abortion clinic owner; Jewels Green, former abortion clinic worker; Rebecca Hagelin, bestselling author and pro-life speaker; abortion survivor Gianna Jessen; Jason Jones, award winning filmmaker and pro-life activist; South Carolina Representative Wendy Nanney; Troy Newman, President of Operation Rescue; Iowa Right to Life Board Member Loras Schulte; and Dave Sterrett, pro-life activist and author.
“I am encouraged by the incredible passion and support seen in these pro-life leaders who have coalesced behind our shared cause,” said Cruz. “Every single National Co-Chair in this coalition has led the charge for the pro-life cause and is a true inspiration. Without life, we have no liberty. The right to life is a pillar of our country and a God-given right that we must fight to protect. I am encouraged by the large number of people who have already signed up to take on this fight with me and look forward to what this coalition will be able to achieve under the incredible leadership of the Pro-Lifers for Cruz Coalition.”
Dave Sterrett is the President of Disruptive Truth and head of the We Choose Life initiative. He is the author and co-author of eight books, including the Wall Street Journal bestseller I Am Second (Thomas Nelson) and Aborting Aristotle (St. Augustine’s Press).
Sterrett’s latest initiative, We Choose Life, launched this month. The objective is to train and equip 500,000 high school and college students to be able to give an answer to the abortion issue with clarity, compassion and conviction, while offering real answers, real stories and real hope to a new generation.
We Choose Life provides a small group, one-day, training and discussion guide available as a free download and designed for a one-hour gathering. Short films will include pro-life training and biblical hope from Dave Sterrett, along with true stories from pro-life leaders including Lila Rose, founder of Live Action. Sterrett is also the General Editor and contributing author of a companion book, We Choose Life (Hendrickson Publisher, 2016) releasing this month as well.
