Rock legend collaborates with Online for Life to share his grown daughter\u2019s birth story\u00a0<\/i><\/p>\n

It\u2019s not often that a Grammy Award-winning rock star inserts himself into the national abortion debate. But for John Elefante, former lead singer of Kansas, abortion is more than a political issue…it\u2019s personal. Twenty years ago, Elefante\u2019s adopted daughter Sami barely escaped the grip of abortion when her 13-year-old birth mother decided to cancel her abortion procedure at the last minute.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere are two major facts I do know<\/i>,\u201d Elefante shares in a recent interview with CBN News. \u201c … [Sami<\/i>] was almost aborted. Her mother was in the abortion clinic and called her mom from that place and told her she was pregnant<\/i>.\u201d<\/p>\n

Now, two decades later, Elefante sings about this story in his new song \u201cThis Time.\u201d Accompanied by a powerful music video created in partnership with the pro-life organization Online for Life, \u201cThis Time\u201d shares how Sami\u2019s birth mother chose to place her baby girl for adoption – a decision for which Elefante and his wife are overwhelmingly grateful. And the video\u2019s views on YouTube have soared to over 350,000.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cThis Time\u201d has been labeled by some as the new \u201cpro-life anthem,\u201d and it has already been credited for saving at least three lives.<\/p>\n

Just recently, a prison transportation officer wrote to Elefante and told how one of her prison inmates was contemplating an abortion. Having just watched \u201cThis Time\u201d on YouTube, the officer shared the video with the pregnant inmate. And then, according to the officer, \u201cShe promised me right there that she was keeping the baby and she was going to share the video with other prisoners<\/i>.\u201d<\/p>\n

In addition to telling his family\u2019s story, Elefante is using \u201cThis Time\u201d to promote Online for Life, a technology-powered, compassion-driven pro-life organization that helps rescue babies and families from abortion.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen we first heard about John\u2019s song and his daughter\u2019s story, we felt a connection right away and realized we had a mutual passion for saving babies from abortion<\/i>,\u201d OFL\u2019s co-founder and president Brian Fisher said during an interview with Charisma<\/i>. \u201cWe are so grateful for his team\u2019s heart and their desire to see this beautiful music and touching story used for the cause of life.<\/i>\u201d<\/p>\n
