I was always a big fan of Taylor's "I Blew Up The Clinic Real Good." Catches the other side of the issue. Glad to hear his name bandied about.

"THIS IS MY BODY," written by Dana, is a favorite pro-life song of many. It was an honor for me to sing on the recording and video with Dana and Mark Girardin, who sang the part of Jesus. The song was written at Fr. Frank Pavone's (Priests for Life) urging. He saw how the words "This Is My Body" were used both by the pro-abortionists regarding power over the body, even to the point of killing another, AND by Jesus Christ, exemplifying perfect sacrifice of the body so that others may live. This song has aided in healing those who have had abortions, and it has powerfully changed people's opinions regarding the abortion issue. It is encouraging, dramatic, and beautiful.

Nick Cannon, "Can I live". Hands down.

Little Ones by Phil Keaggy from Ph'lip Side".

Curse Of Blood --- I just heard this amazing pro-life song by A.W.E. band called "Curse of Blood." Powerful powerful song .. really struck a chord in my heart!!! ... was this song referenced on Hannity? I don't think it's hit the radio yet... http://www.aweband.com/lyrics-lyrics-a-previews/curse-of-blood I read the band's notes on this, and it was actually based on Sarah Palin's son Trig... pretty neat stuff. Check it out!

I love John Schlitt's song, "The Grafting". This beautiful ballad talks about an open adoption chosen by a caring, sensitive young woman and the reunion she has with the young man when he grows up and thanks her for giving him to a couple who loved him and helped him grow up.

My favorite two pro-life songs are Blue Eyes Like Janeys by David Huff and Lucy by Skillet. Blue Eyes Like Janey's: We were so young, and only playin' around. I was ready for adventure, not for settling down. So when Janey told me she was pregnant, and that she wanted to be my wife, I said, "Wait a minute Janey. We're only seventeen. We're just starting out our young lives. Let's keep our heads together, girl. Let's look at all of the options." But we both knew what the choices were: There was "abortion" or "adoption." And the doctor we saw, he said it wasn't really life~ "It's just a formless mass of cells." So Janey and I, we made our choice and we promised we'd never tell. But leaving the clinic we heard some talk, and it shattered our little world. The doctor was telling the nurses that the baby was a girl. Would she have brown hair? Did she have blue eyes? I try to imagine what she would look like so many times. Would she be a tall girl? Oh, the questions haunt my mind. Would she have blue eyes like Janey's and brown hair like mine? I saw Janey just the other day in a Pro-Life Movement line. We were in front of the courthouse steps, praying and carrying signs. Janey came up to talk to me, and there were tears in her blue eyes. She said, "Twenty-six million innocent babies like ours have already died. And I can't stand on the sidelines anymore and watch that number grow. Not after what you and I've been through~not knowing what we know. I still wake up late some nights and think I heard her call my name. And I still have her photograph in an empty picture frame. Lucy: Hey Lucy, I remember your name I left a dozen roses on your grave today I'm in the grass on my knees, wipe the leaves away I just came to talk for a while I got some things I need to say Now that it's over I just wanna hold her I'd give up all the world to see That little piece of heaven looking back at me Now that it's over I just wanna hold her I've gotta live with the choices i made And I can't live with myself today Hey Lucy, I remembered your birthday They said it'd bring some closure to say your name I know I'd do it all different if I had the chance But all I got are these roses to give And they can't help me make amends Here we are, now you're in my arms I never wanted anything so bad Here we are, for a brand new start Living the life that we could've had Me and Lucy walking hand in hand Me and Lucy never wanna end Just another moment in your eyes I'll see you in another life In heaven where we never say goodbye Here we are, now you're in my arms Here we are for a brand new start Got to live with the choices I've made And I can't live with myself today Me and Lucy walking hand in hand Me and Lucy never wanna end Got to live with the choices I've made And I can't live with myself today Hey Lucy, I remember your name Quote from John Cooper (lead singer of band and author of song): "..this week is the very first time that I've ever told what this song is about, because, uh, it's very special to me, but I feel like it's time to talk about it a little bit, so.. listen up while I tell you a story about a young girl and a young guy who found themselves in a hard situation. They didn't know what to do when they found out that she was pregnant; they were young, they didn't have any money, they were scared, they didn't want to tell anybody, they didn't know what to do, and the only option that they could see was to terminate the pregnancy. So that's what they decided to do… they went to a clinic, they had the procedure done, and at first they felt relieved that all their problems had gone away. But then something happened that they did not expect… and that's over the next few weeks, which turned into a few months, they began to feel an intense sadness… and a pain and an agony and a guilt that wouldn't go away. They didn't know what to do, so they finally went to see a counselor; they said look - tell us what to do, we just don't know, and the counselor made a suggestion. The counselor said here's what you need to do - stop acting like you had a procedure, and act like you had a death in the family. So the couple went home and they made three decisions; number one, they decided to have a funeral service for the baby; number two, they bought a tiny little headstone; and they last decision to make was what to name the baby. After a couple weeks they finally decided they would call her… Lucy." I'm planning on using both those songs in the movie I'm gonna make.

The famous pop/rock duo, Seals & Crofts, at the very height of their popularity, made one of the boldest moves in pop music history when they came out with their song "Unborn Child" in 1974.  Not only did they record this great pro-life song, but they even named the album "Unborn Child".

My favorite pro-life song is "Legal Kill", by King's X.  It's a very accessible ballad, done by some guys who often crank up the rock 'n roll.

Another great one is "What Was I Supposed to Be", by Acapella.
