Hi everyone, I just wanted everyone to get this website, www.rockforlife.org. I’m not sure if anyone has already seen this website, but there are a lot of singers or bands that I did not know supported pro-death. I find it hard contributing to pro-life issues, then buying a CD from a person that is contributing to the opposite. Now, I feel like I’ve been spinning my wheels for a while by not knowing that certain entertainers are funding or endorsing the killing of unborn babies.
By the way, does anyone know of the national pro-life alliance. So far I have been pleased with them, but I was just wondering if anyone knows if they are tied in line pretty close with the Catholic Church or if there are better organizations to contribute to?

Your brother in Christ.

Thanks for that link. It is food for thought. I think we have to be a little discerning regarding their list of pro-abortion bands. There is lots of room for ignorance it seems. Most musicians are just glad to get a gig and unless there are giant Planned Parenthood signs at the venue, they might never know where the money is going.
 
Madonna is on the pro-abortion page on the rock for life site. I thought Madonna is pro-life? On imdb.com it says “She was even in anti-abortion ads in the UK.”. Can someone please clarify?

Good question. Madonna is listed but it does not identify her association with abortion, which it does for many other bands.
 
Who cares whethter they were pro-life or pro-choice (its pro-choice, not pro-death) if they were a good band. whats the big thingo with abortion any way!
 
Abortion is wrong because it is killing an innocent human life. All human life is sacred, doesn’t matter how young you are, everyone has a right to life.

Abortion violates the 5th commandment (thou shalt not kill) and it is a significant part of the culture of death. Our modern world seems to have less and less respect for life every day. Who knows how long it will be till they think it’s okay to kill anyone, even you, for whatever crazy reasons they have got?

Abortion is a mortal sin. It takes a human life - no matter how small, it is still a life and to end it is wrong. Life is God-given and sacred, not to be done away with when we humans see fit. Check the CA home page for some good explanations that go further into depth on this, and maybe NewAdvent.org as well. They have some good info for you. Oh, and priestsforlife.org too. God bless…

I don’t think Madonna, Bruce Springsteen, Sheryl Crow and the like are actually “hurting” for gigs. Maybe with the lesser known bands that could be the case. My guess is that they support the groups they play for.

Thanks, I renew my question for exactly Madonna’s link to abortion is. When talking about top acts you are right, they are not hurting for gigs, but they probably don’t hand-pick every concert either, they let their management do that, and just show up. So again, that a musician taking a gig does not necessarily mean support of abortion. In other words, more evidence is needed to show artist’s moral approval of it.
 
Calling pro-choice pro-death is a sick and deliberate tactic using the twisting of words to make a position seem like something worse than what it is. If there is such a strong case against pro-choice, then you would think you wouldn’t need to twist words to get it across.

You mean calling pro-death “pro-choice.” That’s how I feel those who support “a woman’s right to choose” is doing…twisting their words around to make it *less *truthful.

Yes, you’re right…I want to kill babies, as opposed to grant the right to control a woman’s own body. EXACTLY what I want.

You know what you’re doing. Trying to make it sound like we are slavering goons who want to kill babies. That isn’t the case, and you almost have to be aware of that.

Madonna has had multiple abortions, I think it was something like 7 in total.

Well, if we look at something like partial birth abortion and we see people defending that practice with the same intensity that the defend all abortions – then we can see that there is no acknowledgement of the nature of the child in the womb. Literally one day before natural birth, the child could be killed legally in the womb, and pro-choice people defend that. Like the only issue at stake is the mother’s interest.

Pro-death or pro-abortion are both accurate terms. Some are defending the right to kill the child in the womb at any time. In fact, they don’t even admit that there is a child there deserving of any rights whatsoever.

That’s the problem.

– back on topic, there are better artists than Madonna and Springsteen anyway. Plus lots of good artists who play for pro-choice events don’t know what they’re doing.

Wow, awesome. That’s the equivalent of calling pro-life “pro-motherandbabyshouldbothdieifthat’sthewaythingsgo”

I actually covered this facet of the debate in an assignment I did, how both sides of the argument use loaded terms to make the other side look bad, for example the opposite side to pro life is pro death, and the opposite side to pro choice is anti choice.

Oh yeah, on topic, a bands political persuasion wouldnt really affect whether i bought their music or not, it depends on the music.
 
Madonna is as evil as they come…she’s been excommunicated for quite some time now.
 
Wow, if you heard some of the bands i listen too you would freeze in a parallel of horror… 😛

Unless you have some kind of proof to back up that statement, that is gossip. :tsktsk:
