Rock For Life Vows to Expose MTV's Anti-Family Agenda

(AgapePress) - Certain young rock music fans are giving MTV the kind of attention the network does not appreciate. Rock for Life is an organization of Christian youth who enjoy the harder side of guitars and drums. Its members also love Jesus, and they do not appreciate the pro-sex, anti-family, pro-choice (i.e., pro-abortion) drug culture being promoted on the music video network known as MTV.
According to Rock for Life's Eric Whittington, many of today's parents are unaware of the threat that MTV poses to their families. He says that is why members of the pro-life youth movement can often be found protesting outside MTV's New York City studios.
"We're always on the heels of MTV," Whittington says. "We go up there periodically to protest and pray in front of MTV -- I've been there before myself -- and we get to be a witness for the youth of America at MTV headquarters."
The Rock for Life spokesman believes that underneath the messages of vulgarity, violence and sex with which the network daily bombards young people, there lies an even more sinister effort -- the attempt to redefine the family and to supplant mothers and fathers in their role of shaping the minds and values of their children.
"They are attempting to do that," Whittington says, "and they have even claimed that they intend to be that role model. MTV's family is not a man and a wife with children that listen to their parents and come to them for advice. The family unit to MTV is anything goes, and they want to be the parents of America's youth."
But as long as MTV is engaged in its campaign to redefine the traditional family, Rock for Life is going to be camping on their front doorstep, Whittington says. And he vows that, in the months to come, the pro-life group will be sounding a warning to youth and parents across the country, raising awareness about the intent of the Music Television network and its attack on the family.
