Rock for Choice,
a program of the Feminist Majority and the Feminist
Majority Foundation, galvanizes the music community
to protect abortion rights and women's health
clinics.
Rock for Choice was founded by the all-female
rock band L7, music journalist Sue Cummings
and the Feminist Majority Foundation in
the fall of 1991 to support safe and legal abortion.
"We wanted to do benefit concerts for an issue
we care passionately about -- abortion rights,"
says L7. They hooked up with the Feminist Majority
to do the concert planning and administration.
