OUR TEAM
Lauren Pope, Interim Executive Director
When Lauren’s water broke at just 22 weeks pregnant with her oldest son, doctors gave her a choice: try to save him, or let nature take its course. For her, the decision was clear. She chose to fight for his life — and today, that tiny baby is a thriving young man.
That moment changed everything. It stripped away any lingering doubts about the humanity of the unborn and sparked a lifelong commitment to defending human dignity at every stage of life.
For the past 20 years, Lauren has been a passionate advocate for the Consistent Life Ethic. She joined the board of Rehumanize International three years ago and now serves as Interim Executive Director, bringing with her a deep conviction, a mother’s heart, and a steadfast belief in the power of radical empathy to transform culture.
Lauren is also a writer whose work explores the intersections of human dignity and public policy. She won the Create | Encounter Prose Contest in 2019 and has contributed to national conversations on immigration, artificial intelligence, abortion, and euthanasia.

OUR BOARD

Beth Fox, MPH, Board President
Tiny in stature, big in ambition, Beth Fox’s life is a story worth sharing. Before she even had a name, Beth became a prime target for abortion. Her mother’s pregnancy was risky and doctors advised an abortion to preserve her life. Beth’s poor prenatal prognosis led doctors to conclude her quality of life would be so poor that having an abortion would be the “merciful” choice. Though living a life with chronic illness and disability is challenging, Beth is here to share why life is worth living and striving for. Today, Beth cannot see, walk, or breathe on her own; it is through these physical struggles, past doubts of self-value, and the diagnosis of multiple rare, life-limiting disorders that Beth has developed an active voice aimed at making positive changes. Despite her challenges, Beth lives independently in central Virginia, where she has received Master’s degrees in public health and developmental psychology, works as a tutor, vlogger, and public speaker, and aspires to become a professor and lovingly foster terminally ill children.
