Country music star to perform at March for Life events
Named spokesperson of the Terri Schiavo Life and Hope Network only four months ago, country music star Collin Raye is diving right in to pro-life activism.
Raye is scheduled to perform at five pro-life events in Washington, D.C., leading up to and during the March for Life.
Raye will perform for over 2,000 college students at the annual and sold out Students for Life of America Conference on January 22.
Later that evening Raye will perform at a fundraising event for the Paul Stefan Foundation, which provides maternity homes for pregnant women in the mid-Atlantic region.
On January 23 Raye will speak in the morning at the Concerned Women for America “Celebrate Life. Embrace Grace” event and Family Research Council’s ProLifeCon. Collin will end his day by singing at the National Prolife Youth Rally.
Raye’s inspiration for involvement in pro-life work comes from his granddaughter Haley Marie Bell, who tragically died at age 10 in 2010 after suffering a lifelong terminal illness. Raye dedicated the tender song, “She’s With Me,” to Haley…

Raye recently released a new inspirational CD, His Love Remains, which features two songs with powerful pro-life themes. Raye is donating a portion of the CD’s proceeds to the Life & Hope Network.
Welcome to the fold, Collin!

As someone who lives 90 miles from Nashville, I think it’s interesting that the vocal pro-life celebrities always seem to be Country??
Where are the rappers?
carrie underwood did a pro life video ” JESUS TAKE THE WHEEL” watch it on you tube……its an excellent video!
? How is “Jesus take The wheel” “pro-life” per se? Just because the girl in the song and the video appears to be a single mother.
I’m just trying to figure out why you classify it as a “pro-life” song, when it has nothing to do with abortion or pregnancy?
It’s a positive message song to be sure…but “pro-life”?
pamela its actually about a girl in a crisis pregnancy..my take on it was that shes obviously considering abortion. then watch where at the end the man is feeding his elderly mom.
Love Colin Raye! Oh, for a million more superstars like him!
i checked to see if carrie underwoods video was pro life. many sites agree that indeed it is.
kelly clarkson sang in support of ron paul. i like stars who arent liberals!
Me too, Heather. But they’re harder to find than a golden needle in a haystack.
i know hans….no its like a star who isnt a lib has to stay in the closet. kelly was bashed! why? the girl has to be an obama supporter?
or if you talk about Christ you are a nut. so sad!
