The first one is done by contemporary Christian artist Mark Schultz about how his mother carried through her pregnancy with him and chose the adoption option for him. The title is Everything to Me.

This one is my favorite which is Dana's This is My Body about choosing life instead of abortion.

God Bless Nick Cannon, this song hits close to home.The doctors harped my mom to abort me for hours. But she was a 19 year old girl that said no, even when they told her she'd die <3.

This one is a celebration of the gift of children in general called A Gift of Love by Randy Travis. I remember hearing it at the end of Baby Geniuses. I thought it was really sweet and touching.

"What it Means to be Loved" This is specifically focused on when a doctor says that the baby won't live for very long and asks if you want to abort.

Manic Drive ~ "Memories"

live at the Pro Life Music Fest 2007

[Luigi]

I've thought for a long time that the Pro-LIfe movement ought to co-opt the songs of the Civil Rights movement and paraphrase them. Most of those songs are simple enough to be sung en masse - at the Washington DC Pro-LIfe rally, at smaller local rallies, or while picketing abortion clinics.

Another batch of songs that could be paraphrased would be the hippie anthems of the 60s. They might be effective in reaching those who are in positions of power, most of whom lived throught the 60s - whether they were ever hippies or not, they'd still remember those anthemic tunes.

1. "Ain't Gonna Let Nobdy Turn Me Around" (Joan Baez version) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4BdTu1IhsSg

[Luigi]

2a. "Aint You Got a Right?" (Georgia Tech Combined Choirs - a long, slow, elaborate version, but it includes the standard verses)http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e0IrwL5Ge8w

2b. (Joan Baez with her sister Mimi Farina singing a more "protest" version)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AS3kGqYTUH8
I'd use the words from the first version and the musical approach of the second, paraphrasing it as:


2c. In the intro, specify that "they" refers to unborn children, then,
[u]CHORUS[/u]
Ain't they got a right (Ain't they got a right)
Ain't they got a right (Ain't they got a right?)
Ain't they got a right (Yes, they got a right)
A right to life.

[u]VERSES[/u]
Tell all their mothers (Tell all their mothers)
Tell all their mothers (Tell all their mothers)
Tell all their mothers (Yes, they got a right)
A right to life.

Tell all their fathers...

Tell all the doctors...

Tell all the politicians...

Tell all the judges...
