\"haley.governor\"<\/a>Leading South Carolina pro-family advocates endorse Haley for re-election<\/p>\n

COLUMBIA, S.C. \u2013 Pro-family and pro-life leaders from across South Carolina today joined the Haley for Governor Faith and Family coalition.<\/p>\n

Members of the coalition will advise Governor Haley on family issues over the course of the 2014 campaign and beyond and work directly with her to strengthen South Carolina families.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe stronger our families are the stronger our state is,\u201d said Dr. Bob Taylor, a member of Hampton Park Baptist Church where he serves on the Board of Deacons. \u201cGovernor Haley realizes that, and her hard work to bring jobs, protect the unborn and defend traditional marriage is making our families, and therefore our state, stronger.\u201d<\/p>\n

Dr. Taylor is Chairman of the Greenville County Council and retired dean at Bob Jones University.<\/p>\n

\u201cGuided by Christian faith and grounded in the unshakable values that make our country great, Governor Haley and First Gentleman Michael Haley, a captain in South Carolina’s Army National Guard, are standing tall for South Carolina families, and South Carolina families are proud to stand with the Haleys,\u201d said Dr. Tony Beam, Vice-President for Student Services and Christian Worldview at North Greenville University.<\/p>\n

Dr. Beam hosts the radio show \u201cChristian Worldview Today.\u201d He is also Vice-Chairman of the Christian Life and Public Affairs Committee of the South Carolina Baptist Convention.<\/p>\n

\u201cGovernor Haley has a stellar pro-life record,\u201d said Lisa Van Riper of Greenville, who leads S.C. Citizens for Life. \u201cBy signing two important pieces of pro-life legislation, Governor Haley has advanced the cause of protecting innocent human life in South Carolina. The governor signed the Born-Alive Infant Protection Act that ensures any child born alive in South Carolina, including a child who survives an attempted abortion, is an individual human being entitled to the full protections of the law. The governor signed the Abortion Opt Out of Obamacare that excludes coverage for most abortions in the federal exchange programs. South Carolina is privileged to have a strong, pro-life governor and we intend to keep her.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cTraditional, Christ-centered family values are under assault from Washington to Columbia, and it’s no longer enough for elected officials to talk the talk, they have to walk the walk,\u201d said Hilton Head Island\u2019s Stu Rodman, who holds leadership positions on the boards of several national Christian ministries. \u201cNot only do we know Governor Haley, a wife and mother of two, to be ‘personally’ pro-life and pro-family in her words, we have seen her fighting every day and using every resource at her disposal, beginning as a freshman legislator, to strengthen our families by defending traditional marriage and protecting every human life. She is exactly what South Carolina families need in a governor.\u201d<\/p>\n

Rodman, Vice Chairman of the Beaufort County Council, served as a Lieutenant in the U.S. Army, is an Elder in the Presbyterian Church and led the Palmetto Family Council.<\/p>\n

Newberry County\u2019s S.C. Citizens for Life chapter president, Chad Connelly, contrasted Governor Haley\u2019s commitment to strengthening South Carolina families with liberal career politician Vince Sheheen\u2019s troubling record of pandering to pro-abortion, anti-traditional marriage interests.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are touched to have the support of these dedicated and influential faith and family leaders from around South Carolina who understand the importance of having a governor who is truly, in words and deeds, committed to the values we hold so dear,\u201d said Connelly. \u201cNikki Haley has a record of fighting for every single life and for South Carolina families. That\u2019s not true of Vince Sheheen who has spent his campaign for governor undermining the hard fought efforts and hard won victories of the values community in South Carolina, kicking it off at the home of an abortion activist and secretly appearing at a rally promoting gay marriage. We need a governor who will stand up for South Carolina values – not just when it’s politically expedient but every single day, and Nikki Haley is that governor.\u201d<\/p>\n
