Washington, D.C. (03 February 2010) – The following is a statement from Erik Whittington, director of American Life League’s Rock for Life project on MTV’s “Hope for Haiti Now” digital release and telethon. Proceeds will fund UNICEF – a United Nation’s program notorious for funding abortions, condoms and sterilization projects.
“Hope for Haiti Now” featuring well-known artists such as Jay-Z, Coldplay, Bruce Springsteen, Sheryl Crow, Alicia Keys, Neil Young, Christina Aguilera and others, was initiated by a phone call between George Clooney and MTV Networks.
“Our hearts and prayers go out to the Haitian people who need food, water, medicine, housing and help rebuilding. The last thing Haitians need is UNICEF’s anti-life agenda of abortion, contraception, sterilization and sexual immorality. We will not let UNICEF’s despicable record of using humanitarian crisis to push their anti-life agenda go unnoticed and unchallenged.
“We implore MTV Networks to drop UNICEF from its list of non-profits receiving funds from the “Hope for Haiti Now” project. MTV has enough controversy on its hands already from pushing sexual immorality and abortion to the youth of America.
“We also Americans to open their hearts and their wallets to the Haitian people, but not through an immoral organization like UNICEF.”
American Life League was cofounded in 1979 by Judie Brown. It is the largest grassroots Catholic pro-life organization in the United States and is committed to the protection of all innocent human beings from the moment of creation to death.
