The Burr in the Burbs

It’s not common to find outspokenly pro-life celebrities.  I can only think of a few at this hour of the morning.  Mel Gibson and Patricia Heaton come to mind.  Who am I missing?

Now I can add a third.  There’s a cool young Texas rock band called Flyleaf that I’ve enjoyed following the last three or four years.  I was already aware that the band members are committed Christians, though they do not write and market “Christian rock.”  They’re mainstream and successful which is not to say that their Christian belief does not work its way into their art.

Lead singer, Lacey Mosley, was recently asked about the presidential election.  She’s quoted: “I really have a strong anti-abortion stance. I don’t think I can vote for a president that’s for abortion. So that makes a big difference about where I’m gonna vote.”

Let’s just say that it takes certain courage for a young hip celebrity to be that upfront about opposing abortion.  Kudos to Lacey!

Check Flyleaf out at their site here, and buy some tunes.
