Barney Greenway
Napalm Death
KNAC.com Gnarly Charlie Catches Napalm Death vocalist Barney Greenway Backstage By Charlie Steffens, aka Gnarly Charlie, Contributor: Wednesday, March 22, 2006 @ 1:31 PM

Quote: " A lot of bands do albums where they criticize the whole …the real powerful, ultra-powerful side of the Christianity, but I’d like to think that Napalm’s goes deeper. A lot of stuff will be stuff that people already know about, but I think that it really needs to be forced at this point in time. It will also have Satanism as well, you know, but both religions are of no use to me. I don’t need a theory to live my life in a peaceful way. Of course there are other things surrounding the religious issue, which is well documented, which is the freedom of choice. I’m very much a believer on the abortion issue –women have the right to choose –and I’m vehemently in favor of that."

Quote: "It used to bum me out as a kid when I would go to peace or ERA rallies with my mother, and there would be people singing, 'Kum Ba Yah, my sister, Kum Ba Yah,' it was so unmotivating. So we decided that we just had to rock the house. That was a good way to get more people to get involved, and if they didn't want to get involved, at least we had their money." Here the band speaks about: Rock for Choice, which is used to raise money for pro-abortion causes. "It started because we were frustrated about our disappearing civil rights. This is such a hot issue, and nobody in the music community was really doing anything.But this was so in need that we just decided to do it. We went to the Feminist Majority (a pro-choice group) because we knew they had done some public service announcements with rock stars."

Indigo Girls
Detroit Free Press, 4-26-2004/ LA Times, Faces...:Political Women: 12-9-1989

Quote: "We have some very fundamentalist Christian people that like our music because of certain songs that we never intended to be strictly Christian. We just intended them to be spiritual," says Ray. "We were brought up Christians and consider ourselves Christians, but we don't consider our music Christian music. The problem is that when we announce that we're pro-choice, they don't feel like they can listen to our music anymore so they walk out. That was very upsetting to us. In most towns there's definitely an initial following from women, and then as we get more popular in that area it becomes a much more mixed following. That happened in Atlanta, too, when we started. We appreciate that support, and our women's and feminist and lesbian followings have been important in our career. But we don't want to be possessed by a group of people as their musicians. We want to be thought of as musicians first and women second." Indigo Girls attended the 2004 pro-abortion: “March for Women’s Lives” Sponsored by Planned Parenthood Federation of America, NARAL Pro-Choice America, National Organization for Women, the American Civil Liberties Union, Black Women's Health Imperative, National Latina Institute for Reproductive Health and the Feminist Majority.

Jessye Norman
Supporter of Planned Parenthood
Planned Parenthood, High-Profile PPFA Supporters Voice Concerns About Court, 7-8-2005

Quote: "With Justice Sandra Day O'Connor leaving the bench, the reproductive rights of women move again to the mainstream of discussion and concern, as her moderate, sensitive and original voice will now be absent from this important debate. The battle over a woman's right to choose has been long fought, but it is not over. Fight, we must. Winning, we owe to every woman not only in our country, but on this planet."

Napalm Death
KNAC.com Gnarly Charlie Catches Napalm Death vocalist Barney Greenway Backstage By Charlie Steffens, aka Gnarly Charlie, Contributor: Wednesday, March 22, 2006 @ 1:31 PM

Quote: "The other day –I’m not sure if the listeners are aware, but there was a law that passed in –I think it was South Dakota, actually, that says that all abortions now are illegal, even in the case of rape and stuff like that, so that’s quite depressing. So then I think it’s about time to have to really force the issue out from a freedom approach or perspective. But, you know, the abortion issue to me is fundamentally an attack on human rights -- that’s what it is, basically. A fetus is not a living being. It cannot survive outside of the mother’s womb –that’s why it’s there on that support system. So therefore it’s not a being –you couldn’t take it from the womb and then let it develop on its own accord without the help of all the medical technology. So there’s a human rights issue there, and it’s the interference of church and state again on the individual being."

Quote: "All I can say is, 'Just say no to George W. Bush. It's an important cause to me, you know, ever since -- in college, I road one of those buses and went down to D.C. And I marched. You know, this is an important cause. I am 33. I want a family. It doesn't apply to me now. I'm a wealthy white female, you know? But we have to take the responsibility to reach out and help those disenfranchised women, those women that don't have access."

They participated in the Feminist Majority, “Rock for Choice" Fundraising concerts: Their mission, Rock for Choice was founded by L7 in the fall of 1991 to mobilize the music community to protect abortion rights and women's health clinics. Vedder closed Pearl Jam's MTV Unplugged set by scrawling "pro-choice" on his arm; he met with Gloria Steinem to discuss violence at abortion clinics. Vedder supports abortion rights "because I've been through this,I have knowledge of the feelings and the reality. It's not an easy decision. And my mother's been through the adoptive side of it. We're talking about a single woman in the late '60s dealing with an unintended pregnancy." PJ Gets a lot of mail regarding the band's abortion stance, "As soon as you put your name in this hat, you get a lot of weird mail, People write, 'We used to love you, but now you're sleeping with Satan.' They send us broken records and CDs." and "To those who say, 'Until you have a uterus, stay out of mine,'I say, fine, as soon as that applies to all men. The males I see involved are waving baby-killer signs and holding Bibles and supporting funding of abstinence-only programs.If we lived in a world where men got pregnant but still had the same drive and mindset, this would not be an issue. Men would not allow this kind of oppression."

Theo Kogan
Punk Rock Band: Lunachicks
PunkVoter.com

Quote: "My name is Theo Kogan. Some of you may know me from the band Lunachicks. I have been Pro-choice since I’ve understood what it means...BUT it is a woman's choice! Not a man's choice, not a government's choice, not a supreme court justice's choice not anyone else's choice but hers... Just so you know, 6-8 week old fetus is smaller than your pinky nail. Not the gigantic sized fetuses you see on their supposed "Pro -life" poster propaganda, which I personally have seen mostly toted by who? Men, that's right."


Theo Kogan
Punk Rock Band: Lunachicks
PunkVoter.com

Quote: "Ok children, let me clarify some things. Even though I believe I already did. Yes, it is a Woman's choice whether or not to have an abortion. We are the ones who have to carry the baby, give birth or decide not too. You may have a hard time with this, but that's just too bad. Try controlling something else in your life. And as for late term abortions, of course I believe in them as a choice as well. I brought up the 6-8 week size because of the LIES that are pushed down our throats about fetus size at 8 weeks by the Right Wing Christian maniacs I have personally seen with their signs. I want women to have the choice no matter what. There is no reason in this day and age have back alley abortions! We deserve proper health care all around, without question."


Tsunami Bomb
Message from Matt
PunkVoter.com

Quote: "The latest rollback on women’s rights was implemented in April when the Unborn Victims Act was established. The Unborn Victims Act states that federal law enforcement will be able to bring charges for the harm of a fetus, as well as its mother, during a violent crime. It has also been carefully worded so the bill specifically grants individual, separate legal status to a fetus or embryo beginning at conception." and "This latest piece of legislation was signed by Bush less than six months after passing the Partial Birth Abortion Act of 2003 (PBABA), thus unveiling a carefully constructed agenda on the part of the steadily encroaching religious right and the drunk driving, semi-literate, corporate lap-dog who has deemed himself “appointed by God” to the American presidency (which might make sense since he wasn’t elected by the people) to disseminate women’s rights across the board."


Wynton Marsalis
New Pittsburgh Courier, Center City; Power to the women:5-4-2004

Quote: This was written by someone who saw Marsalis perform, “Monday night I was inspired to write this column. I was at the Benedum Theater enjoying some of the most creatively entertaining music I've ever heard live during a Wynton Marsalis Quartet concert. My mind went back approximately 15 years. I was already a Marsalis fan but I remember seeing a public service announcement featuring him in a magazine in which he expressed his support for a woman's right to choose. Marsalis was actually one of several men who participated in the PSA at the beckoning of Dr. Kenneth C. Edelin, chair-elect of NARAL Pro-Choice America and professor of obstetrics and gynecology and an associate dean at Boston University School of Medicine. At the time he was chairman of the Planned Parenthood Federation of America.”
