BOTH TEBOW & MOM ARE “SUPER” HEROES TO GRAMMY WINNER! Super Bowl Ad Controversy Sparks Pro Life Support From Rebecca St. James
(Nashville, Tennessee)—February 5, 2010 –Add Grammy Award winning singer Rebecca St. James to those suiting up and taking the field in the controversy advancing Sunday’s airing of the 30 second Tim Tebow ‘pro life’ ad during the telecast of the Super Bowl.
St. James noted today from Los Angeles: “Focus on the Family, Crisis Pregnancy Centers and individuals like Tim and his family are advocates for both the child and the mother, and I want to join hands with them.”
“I think in spite of the protests this week from the NOW organization and other pro choice advocates, the airing of this ad is a matter of the First Amendment right of free speech. I applaud Focus on the Family for creating this ad and bringing the story of Tim Tebow’s life to America during the Super Bowl game, and I applaud CBS for broadcasting it. Here is the heartwarming story of a young man whose mother—when faced with the option of abortion—chose life. Here to thank her today is a rising sports hero who is passionate about his life and sharing the message of life for the unborn.”
Rebecca St. James shares that passion. Her current film project, Sarah’s Choice, which reached the 1 spot last week on the Amazon.com Christian DVD chart, has a strong pro life message. Through a series of special screenings with Crisis Pregnancy Centers nationwide, word is coming back weekly on young women who are opting for ‘life’ after viewing the film.
In looking forward to the Sunday unveiling of the Tebow spot, Rebecca added: “Unlike Tim Tebow, the more than 1 million babies that are aborted each year in the U.S. have no voices—and no opportunity to tell us what they think of their mothers ultimate ‘choice’ for their lives. This is a message America needs to hear.”
Rebecca St. James will be in New York next week—Tuesday, February 9th—to appear on “Hannity” on the Fox News Channel.
THANK YOU! TO MEDIA AND RETAIL FRIENDS FOR HELPING “SARAH’S CHOICE” REACH THE 1 SPOT THIS WEEK ON AMAZON.COM CHRISTIAN DVD RANKINGS!

Rebecca's interview from The 700 Club about her new pro-life film, "Sarah's Choice" ..
REBECCA ST. JAMES DOING MAJOR NATIONAL MEDIA IN JANUARY IN SUPPORT OF PRO LIFE HANNITY" APPEARANCE WILL HIGHLIGHT NEXT WEEK
(Nashville, Tennessee) --January 14, 2010 – Rebecca St. James is adding her voice and national media presence to those speaking out in favor of January’s recognition as "Sanctity of Life Month.”
St. James will be seen tomorrow (15th) on CBN’s flagship “700 Club,” speaking about the heartening acceptance accorded the release of her first starring role on film in “Sarah’s Choice,” –a movie with a strong pro life message.
Next week, Rebecca will be in New York for major mainstream media, including a Tuesday (19th) appearance on “Hannity,” on the Fox News Channel. She will later next week be in Colorado Springs for radio tapings with Focus On The Family as well as the presentation of her music and message at their Sanctity of Life chapel gathering on Friday, January 22nd.
Long a passionate and outspoken advocate of abstinence from the global platform of millions of unit sales on her music and a chain of best-selling books, (her self-penned hit song, Wait For Me, has been an anthem for abstinence and birthed a franchise of books worldwide), the Australian born singer has in recent months turned her creative focus to films. Not just any films. Films with messages she hopes will positively impact lives.
The “Sarah’s Choice” story line follows St. James in the lead role of a young career woman on the fast track to success in the corporate world when she discovers she’s pregnant outside of marriage.
Rebecca feels that the raw ‘reality of life’ message in “Sarah’s Choice” is one that holds promise of helping young women to choose “life” as the decision of choice in unplanned pregnancy.
She was personally deeply impacted by her role in the film, as she noted in a recent interview:
“I think the biggest thing the film imparted to me—both in researching the role and in portraying the character—was a real sense of empathy for women who find themselves in the situation my character found herself in,” she commented. "My heart goes out to them as I have seen the extreme amount of pressure and fear that can come from outside sources at a vulnerable time such as this. Too often, young women choose abortion and subsequently suffer the immeasurable pain that often comes with living with regret and guilt. I came away from the movie with a real passion to impact this cycle with the message of God’s heart for the unborn,” St. James added.
In national screenings of “Sarah’s Choice,” reaction to the film’s message has been consistently powerful.
“This is a film that delivers the message of God’s love, forgiveness and grace on a subject matter thousands need to see and hear—it’s a movie that every pregnancy center in America should have in their library and consider showing as a special event,” noted Bill Donovan, executive directorship member of the CPC Pregnancy Center in Anchorage, Alaska.
St. James has in 2010 added a series of special presentation events for Crisis Pregnancy Centers to her already busy schedule of concerts and future film interests.
The DVD, of “Sarah’s Choice,” which features bonus content, including “The Making Of,” “Trailers,” and “Commentary,” is available from Pure Flix Entertainment at national retail through EMI CMG Distribution.

Sarah's Choice does a beautiful job of showing how the choice to abort can affect a woman years and year later while also offering a message of hope and healing for women who desire it.

Phenomenal movie for pro-life. Praying it spreads through the secularist 'barrier' and reaches many hearts to the glory of God. Thank you, Rebecca for your involvement in furthering Christ's kingdom on earth! -- Frankie O
The movie was a powerful portrayal of the decision process facing a young woman who thought God had given up on her. His saving grace is vividly manifested in three visions of what she might never know. -- Kevin K
"Sarah's Choice" is an amazing film that fully captures a common struggle many women face today: an unplanned pregnancy. What makes this film unique is its balance in presenting many widely held beliefs and stereotypes concerning abortion. There is a clear demonstration of God's love and grace without demonizing any particular point of view. Rebecca St. James is a for real actor. This is a must see for men and women alike. --Steven R. Waters, Worship Leader/Singer/Songwriter @ LifeCenter Church, Lakewood CA.
Rebecca St. James brought depth and heart to her role as Sarah Collins that made Rebecca look like an old pro. She shined alongside the rest of the cast in this heartwarming all-too-real life scenario of a young unmarried career woman, a baby on the way, and a choice.

the lense of the stark reality that faces millions of young women each year. It challenges
viewers to think of what decisions my character is making and what impact it will carry not only in this moment--but throughout her life.

Dear Friends—I really want to especially ask for your prayers this week as I’m in LA working on the prep of the new film I’m involved with—working title is Sarah’s Choice.
