Mary-Logan Miske considers herself “a Swiftie and Advocate for Life” – a nearly 20-year fan of singer Taylor Swift,  who believes strongly in defending the most innocent among us.

In an open letter to the entertainer, Miske writes:

I have always been your biggest fan. Your music encouraged me to live “fearlessly” and “speak now” on the issues that matter most. I took those words to the core of my heart and made it my life’s mission to protect innocent and defenseless preborn children from abortion.

But Mary-Logan finds herself in something of a real dilemma. Upset with Taylor Swift’s support of abortion and choice for president, she’s decided to challenge the singer, writing, “you don’t understand the value of the fans in your stands and fans yet to be conceived.”

In an emotional plea, the Southeast Campus Formation Coordinator for Students for Life of America explains:

You see, I could have been one missing bright light at nine of your concerts if my mom hadn’t chosen life. At age 22 and a senior in college, my mom became pregnant with me. Despite her boyfriend and others pressuring her to abort and “consider other options,” she ignored them. Ironically, it’s the same message abortion supporters use to “empower” women to choose abortion.

I wouldn’t be here today if my mom had caved to the pressure. You have the platform to encourage mothers to do the same, and as a bonus, you have more grateful and enthusiastic fans.

It could be easy to dismiss “one potential fan” considering the record-breaking demand for your Eras Tour which can fill at least 900 stadiums with approximately 70,000 seats per stadium.

Mary-Logan then makes it personal:

Your mom gave you life, but remember that your entire fandom would not be here today if their moms didn’t embrace life. You, and everyone else, deserve a birthday.

Promoting a stance that allows for late-term abortions undermines the potential of those lives yet to be lived. There is a better stance that empowers women and preborn children.

We can advocate for women without slaughtering their children.

We can provide support, resources, and compassion to women facing unplanned pregnancies without flushing preborn children down the toilet through chemical abortion or ripping them from their mother’s womb.

Together, we can work toward a society that respects and supports all lives, offering hope and opportunity rather than division.

I hope this letter serves as an invitation for further reflection on this crucial matter. Your influence can foster a more nuanced discussion about life and choice, and I believe that together, we can champion a future where every voice is heard and valued.

 It would be impossible to overstate the influential hold entertainers have on many people of a certain age. Mary-Logan Miske’s appeal reflects that understanding – and also represents one of the more effective ways to engage the culture.

Radicals who support abortion may disagree with her conclusions, but they can’t quibble or refute her personal story. As pro-lifers committed to defending pre-born life, we should continue highlighting testimonies like Miske’s – and give thanks to the Lord that her mother chose life.
