Hip-Hop Single Has Pro-Life Slant

August 30, 2005

Nick Cannon’s latest single hip-hop tune, “Can I Live,” has caught the interest of pro-lifers because of its appeal against abortion. The song tells of the artist’s near death by abortion, but Cannon says the lyrics are not intended as a political statement. 
     In the song, Cannon shares how his mother walked away from the operating table minutes before she was scheduled to have an abortion. “This is the first wave of a post Roe v Wade generation telling their side of the story,” said Brandi Swindell of GenLife, a youth pro-life group. No one knows what it’s like to be open prey in your mother’s womb unless you born after 1973.” Cannon’s song is featured on his upcoming CD “Stages,” set for release this month.
