A new pro-life single by singer Rachel Holt skyrocketed up the country music charts last week within days of its release.
The song “I Was Gonna Be” was released on June 21st, just three days before the second anniversary of the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization which overturned Roe v. Wade.
According to the song’s sponsor, Patriot Mobile, “The single was released Friday and quickly soared to Top 10 on iTunes Country Charts and reached #5 Sunday evening. It reached #1 on PopVortex’s most downloaded music videos and today remains in the top two.”
The song was composed by songwriter Chris Wallen and written from the perspective of a baby that never had a chance to be born. “I just wanted people to hear the voice of the voiceless,” Wallen told Breitbart.
Wallen initially doubted anyone would have the courage to sing the song. But “teenage artist Rachel Holt fearlessly took on the project even after being warned how she would be attacked for it,” Patriot Mobile notes.
“We got a call about this pro-life song needing a promotional sponsor and it aligned perfectly with our beliefs about the sanctity of life,” said Glenn Story, Patriot Mobile’s CEO.
“It’s really a beautiful song and we need more conservative messaging in the arts as the music industry is a very important part of today’s culture war.”
You can watch the song below:
Every abortion is a great tragedy because every abortion ends the life of a baby.
Reaching more women with the message that their preborn child is just that – a child – is vitally important. Songs like the one above are just one way to influence the culture and save the lives of preborn babies.
Since the Dobbs decision, pro-life laws have helped save at least 30,000 babies from abortion. While a great victory, pro-life supporters won’t rest until abortion becomes unthinkable, and every person’s unalienable right to life is protected.
