Right To Life

Brooks Johnson, railing against the pro-fetus-murdering policies of what he calls "the Aborted States of America".

Coming into their senior year, Nightlife members Brooks Johnson, Peter Burghardt, Timmy Rairdon, and Steuart Lansing Pittman III realized that their shamefully secular efforts at rock/roll and partying were doing little to further the goal that they all held so passionately in common: the right of an unborn fetus to live, no matter what the bitch wants to do with it. Taking their small fame within the Knox scene, they decided to push it to the limit and shake America to its core, waking up squares everywhere to the plight of fetuses victimized by abortion, as they are too aborted to do anything about it themselves.

Methodology

Using money funneled through the front group Nightlife, Right To Life sets up elaborate concerts, slathering the stage with pig fetuses and assorted animal viscera while screaming at their audiences about the inequities in fetal rights. While the response to their highly charged lyrical content and blistering (and arguable disgusting) performances has been decidedly mixed, the band remains optimistic about their overall impact and future potential. "We're trying to make a difference in this world of fetal slaughter," claims lead vocalist Brooks Johnson and father of four. "Every day women violate themselves and the rights of their unborn children because the law allows them to. We want to show them that they aren't smart or moral enough to make this decision on their own.
