Washington, D.C. (08 March 2010) – Margaret Sanger, the infamous eugenicist and founder of abortion giant Planned Parenthood, lived a mere ten miles from Hopewell Junction, New York – headquarters of American Life League’s newest Rock for Life chapter.
Started by John Fontanello, the new chapter is less than a month old and already shaking up the culture with righteousness and truth. Collaborating with the local CareNet pregnancy center, Rock for Life set up a table and distributed information on personhood and the youth movement to support a showing of Sarah’s Choice – a pro-life movie starring Christian music singer Rebecca St. James.
The group is also planning a Rock for Life concert for summer 2010.
Fontanello launched the group after deciding to put his pro-life beliefs into action. While browsing the Rock for Life web site, he stumbled across the “start a chapter” section. And that’s what he did.
“I want to counteract whatever Planned Parenthood does to promote abortion,” Fontanello said. “I want to be able to educate the women who are thinking about aborting their child. I am truly honored to be a part of this organization.”
Kortney Blythe, Rock for Life chapter director, is excited for the new chapter’s opportunity to speak out for human rights and personhood on the very same turf Margaret Sanger occupied almost a century ago.
“What a great contrast to Sanger’s disdain for equality and human rights to have John fighting our culture of death which was largely fostered and nurtured by Sanger, just down the road,” Blythe said. “Rock for Life is excited to see what John will do to wake up his New York community for life.”
Rock for Life, a project of American Life League, works with hundreds of bands and thousands of pro-life youth who use music as a means to engage, educate and equip our culture to be advocates for life. LIFE. – not for judgement, not for control, for a better world.
