1. Summer Tour
It has been such a blessing to work with such an awesome team! The tour has not only given me an opportunity to build stronger bonds with my teammates, but also the opportunity to be a witness. At our last music festival, I had great conversations with some attendees. Two conversations in particular come to mind.
One was with a young man who was working as a vendor at the festival. He didnt agree fully with our stand on contraceptives. He asked me this question, If you could save 50% of the babies that will be aborted out of the 100%, will you compromise? My answer to him was this: How can we weave out 50% of the best babies and not break our hearts for the other 50%! Rock for Life cannot compromise! We stand for saving all of the babies! He smiled at me and commended us for our stance.

2. Rock for Life in the News
Check out the Washington Posts coverage of Cornerstone Festival, Hallelujah Palooza. Cornerstone is the latest festival we attended. Its not the most glorious review of a Christian festival, but it does include a paragraph about Rock for Life. In it you can sense the disdain for the number of our shirts visible throughout the festival, along with the message we convey on them.
After reading the article, you should also be able to see why it is very important that we attend this festival every year. Even Christians need to hear the message that abortion kills a baby while seriously harming women.

3. Hollywood & Abortion
Most of us know that the abortion holocaust has been destroying society. We are also witnessing abortions devastating effect on Hollywood. Last week Courtney Love (ex Hole lead singer/songwriter as well as widow to Kurt Cobain) was hauled off on a stretcher to a hospital. Were not sure exactly what happenedthe reports are mixed. According to a New York Times article (Courtney Love Brought to Hospital From Her SoHo Apartment), a police office reports that Love had an abortion, while the Fire Department spokesman states that the 911 caller reported a miscarriage. But her lawyer maintains that Love has gynecological conditions requiring medical treatment. Again, we dont know exactly what happened, but lets pray that if Ms. Love did have an abortion, she will go to Rachels Vineyard for post-abortion counseling and healing. Once she has received counseling there, then lets pray that she becomes an advocate for the babies instead of continuing her destructive behavior.

4. Say what?
I oppose abortion, personally. I dont like abortion. I believe life begins at conception. I cant take my Catholic belief, my article of faith, and legislate it on a Protestant or a Jew or an atheist. We have separation of church and state in the United States of America. (Kerry says he believes life starts at conception, Washington Post, 7/5/04)
That was Sen. John Kerry (D-Mass.). My question to Senator Kerry is this: What about stealing, voter fraud or tax evasion? The Catholic faith, along with most, if not all Orthodox Christian denominations, would view these as sins. Do you think you will be able to legislate these sins against a Protestant or a Jew or an atheist? God help us.
5. Pro-abortion musicians
Unfortunately, there are two additional musicians we are adding to our pro-abortion bands list, SONiA & Chris Williamson. These musicians are being featured at the 2004 National NOW Conference this Saturday, July 17th. If you would like to contact them to let them know how you feel about their support of abortion and the destruction of our generation, see below.

5. News of Interest
Planned Parenthood, the nations largest abortion provider is now offering a new t-shirt in its online store. The front reads, I had an abortion. Unlike Silent No More's campaign of I regret my abortion, the wearer of this shirt may seem prideful and unashamed of the fact that she has aborted her own child. Burying her pain may eventually lead to very destructive behavior. To view the shirt, go here.
Speaking of Planned Parenthood, they recently hosted a conference for 5th 9th graders in Waco, Texas called Nobodys Fool. Here they barred parents from attending the sessions, along with distributing disturbing materials to minors that encouraged sexual immorality. For additional information, go here.
Finally, ALLs Summer Crusade for Life was recently denied permission by the Archdiocese of Philadelphia to speak at parishes in the local diocese. But that didnt slow them down. Instead, they were found praying at local abortion mills and speaking to groups not located in local parishes. The Crusade for Life is a group of eleven college students walking from Maine to DC this summer spreading the message that you cannot be both Catholic and pro-abortion. For more info, go here
