October: The Pro-Life Month
October is traditionally known as the month of the rosary (and during this month we give special honor to Mary), and so it's fitting that it is also Pro-Life month. The renewal of our prayer lives in this month can well serve an issue which requires a lot of prayer.
In honor of Pro-Life month, CatholicTV is featuring a series of 'Lifelines' with Carolee McGrath. Here are the first two in a series of short reflections by Carolee.

Composer of Pro-Life Song to Be Interviewed on CatholicTV
On Tuesday, October 13th, Margo B. Smith will be interviewed on the CatholicTV talk show “This is the Day”. October is Respect Life Month and Margo will discuss her music, especially her song “Precious Unborn Child” which is a mother’s song and tribute to her unborn child.
Margo began to play piano at the age of 6. As Margo’s faith grew, she began to write songs about the Lord to share with others about his goodness and love.
Margo plays keyboard for a Christian band named Pure Heart for Him. They have played for such venues as Christian coffee houses, prayer breakfasts, Pro-Life events, fundraisers, healing services, Marriage Encounter events, and Reconciliation services. Pure Heart for Him recorded the uplifting CD entitled “Carry On” which contains some of the songs they shared during their ministry.
In 2006, Margo released the CD entitled “Because You Love Me”, which includes the talents of a variety of instrumentalists and vocalists. The songs came from a desire to share God’s beautiful and personal love and to spread the good news about Jesus and his teachings.
Margo’s interview can be seen on Tuesday, October 13th live at 10:30AM (EST) on CatholicTV where available (rebroadcast at 8PM). The show will also be streamed simultaneously at www.CatholicTV.com and will be available on the site’s archives starting Tuesday night. All videos at the website are viewable in full-screen.

Pro-Life Music Video by Jaime Thietten Now Viewable at CatholicTV.com
CatholicTV.com now features a pro-life video by Christian artist Jaime Thietten. Jaime has been singing her whole life and has shared the stage with celebrities such as Glen Frey of The Eagles and Jay Leno. Her song “My Chance” tells the heart-wrenching story of a mother who decides to have an abortion, but later regrets her decision. The video is available at http://www.catholictv.com/shows/default.aspx?seriesID=81&videoID=819
CatholicTV is a nationally-broadcasted television network headquartered near Boston. CatholicTV streams its broadcast simultaneously, 24 hours a day at www.CatholicTV.com
Jaime has dedicated part of her career to help bring awareness to the value of human life from the time of conception. She also helped to produce a video accompanying “My Chance” which includes interviews and information about life-saving options such as adoption.
"So many children lose their lives everyday," Jaime says. "People have asked me why I would want to tackle such a controversial subject at this time in my musical career. My answer is that we can't afford to wait. Lives need to be saved now. I'm not worried about what others think."
“My Chance" received the “Song of the Year” in March at this year's Momentum Award ceremonies in Nashville on March 28. This is a second win in this category for Jaime, who received Song of the Year for "Reckless Love" in 2007, along with 2007 Female Vocalist of the Year.
In June of 2009 Jaime learned that that "My Chance" had gained another #1 award. The song won the Grand Prize of $5000 and #1 position in the overall Music Finals in the fan-voted OurStage.com music competition for May 2009. For more information please visit: http://www.jtmusic.net
About Jaime Thietten:
As an artist of faith, Jaime challenges us to look past the limitations of our humanity such as denomination, background and appearances which only create divisive relationships built on the fear of differences. Through her music she encourages us to see the Love, Grace and Mercy of Jesus, and that we are called to be as one through Christ. Her desire is to lift up, in hope and forgiveness, those who are hurting, alone and afraid.
During her 10-year singing career, Thietten has used her soaring soprano voice to garner radio airplay around the world, win major industry awards, and share stages with acts such as Phillips, Craig & Dean, Avalon, the Gaithers, Michael English, Clay Walker, Seventh-Day Slumber, and many others. She currently worships at St. Rose of Lima Catholic Church in Murfreesboro, TN where her husband Pete Espil is the Director of Youth Ministries.
CatholicTV regularly airs pro-life programming such as “Body Matters” and “The Future Depends on Love”.
