Selena Quintanilla-P\u00e9rez, a Mexican-American singer known as the “Tejano Madonna” and “Queen of Tejano Music,” was openly against abortion, and now her pro-life message has resurfaced in light of a new documentary<\/a> on her life and murder.<\/span><\/p>\n

KEY TAKEAWAYS:<\/strong> <\/span><\/h3>\n
    \n
  • Selena was born in 1971 in Freeport, Texas, and she grew up to become a best-selling Latin music artist, earning a Grammy for Best Mexican-American Album in 1994.<\/li>\n
  • She was vocal about her pro-life views, and she believed in saving sex for marriage.<\/li>\n
  • Selena was shot and killed by her fan club\u2019s president and her business associate on March 31, 1995.<\/li>\n
  • Netflix is airing a new documentary on Selena’s life, death, and career, but it does not include information on Selena’s family-centric values.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    THE CONTEXT:\u00a0<\/strong><\/h3>\n

    During her musical career, Selena won several awards for her music, including a Grammy for her 1993 album <\/span>Live<\/span><\/i>! Her life was tragically cut short in 1995 when her former fan club president murdered her in a Texas hotel. She was just 23 years old.<\/span><\/p>\n

    Her life has been revisited in films, television shows, true crime specials, and, most recently, a documentary produced by Netflix titled <\/span>Selena y Los Dinos<\/span><\/i>, which debuted at the 2025 Sundance Film Festival.<\/span><\/p>\n

    Her impact on music in the United States, Mexico, and even globally cannot be denied, but one thing that often gets overlooked in her legacy is that Selena was pro-life. In a 1994 interview<\/a> with Texas Tech University, she expressed her pro-life views.<\/span><\/p>\n
