News Advisory:
American Life League's Rock for Life plans to send a strong message to Vote for Change musicians when they make their final tour stop at Washington, D.C.'s MCI Center next Monday. The message is: If you want real change, stop supporting the killing of innocent children through abortion.
Rock for Life does not endorse any particular candidate, but does encourage individuals to vote 100 percent pro-life without exception. "The time has come for Americans to use their right to vote to effect real change in this country regarding the protection of innocent preborn babies," said Erik Whittington, director of Rock for Life. "However, the message being touted by most of the popular musicians with the Vote for Change tour is not one that will render change, but merely maintain the status quo of abortion on demand."
Monday's concert will feature some of the most vocal pro- abortion artists participating in the Vote for Change tour. Many of these groups and individuals, including Pearl Jam, the Dixie Chicks and the Dave Matthews Band, have been outspoken abortion advocates, especially during this election year. "Abortion supporters always talk about the right to choose; yet they blatantly reject the rights of society's most vulnerable human beings," said WWhittington. "America's youth really understands this and are increasingly more pro-life now than ever before."
Rock for Life youth activists will gather outside of the MCI Center in a peaceful, prayerful protest to share the truth about the tragic effects of abortion. "Our message is that real change will only come about when all Americans are willing to stand up to protect preborn babies from the violence of abortion," said Whittington.

The young will hatch and molt one time in the sack before they come out. The larger spiderlings will eat the weaker ones. Once they emerge they will leave quickly so they don't become a meal for their mother.

We once believed that unless driven by hunger or desperation, animals avoid killing their own kind. We were wrong. In fact, many predators from sharks to chimps kill and eat their neighbors, their siblings and even their own young. Delve into a disturbing world where killers and cannibals are all in the family, and deep primal instincts drive parents to devour their own flesh and blood.

Just so you know," Natalie Maines told a London audience last month, "we’re ashamed the president of the United States is from Texas."
