I didn't say that!On Sunday, August 26th the London Sunday Times published an article (Pro-life rockers clash with Amnesty) that has been misleading many people. In it the writers say that Christina Aguilera and Avril Lavigne have "both made statements against abortion." This statement immediately follows this; "The group (Amnesty International) has been accused of 'duping' the singers Christina Aguilera and Avril Lavigne," which has been leading many to believe that we, Rock for Life believe that these two artists are pro-life. We did not make any statement saying that these two artists were pro-life. We know for sure Christina Aguilera isn't since she was a March for Women's Lives Celebrity Coalition member in support of the March for Women's Lives, a pro-abortion rally in Washington, D.C. that took place April 25, 2004. The London Sunday Times used questionable logic coming to the conclusion that Aguilera and Lavigne are pro-life. Check this out: But Aguilera, 26, is a devout American Catholic. She is reportedly expecting her first child and has taken part in a television show in which she interviewed a teenager who had kept her baby rather than have an abortion. Lavigne, 22, is a French-Canadian from a tight-knit Christian family. Her song Keep Holding On is the backing track to a pro-life video on YouTube that declares “abortion is murder”.
Obviously this is not enough information to tell what one's stance is regarding abortion. Then... An aide to Lavigne said: “I don’t think she would want to comment on this. But what has abortion to do with Amnesty? It’s for a lot of different things such as prisoners of conscience and human rights.”
Umm, aide to Lavigne, EVERYTHING! How can you be for human rights while supporting the killing (via abortion) of the most innocent and defenseless among us, preborn human persons? Unfortunately the London Sunday Time's faulty logic has other publications quoting Rock for Life as saying Aguilera and Lavigne are pro-life: Pro-life rock stars 'duped' by Amnesty, WorldNetDaily.com

If you read the article very carefully I am never quoted directly with saying that these artists are pro-life but it journalist definitely implies. Very unfortunate but hey that's one reason to have a blog, to clear things up. |
