‘Every Mother Counts’: Benefit CD produced by West Seattleite

One more week to buy this year’s “Every Mother Counts” CD at Starbucks stores – benefiting advocacy for maternal health around the world, to reduce the maternal death rate. As was last year’s CD, this one is produced again by West Seattle resident David R. Legry, with Christy Turlington Burns, EMC founder. One of the featured songs is by Eddie Vedder – you can preview it here; there are also exclusive cuts by U2, Coldplay, Beck, Alanis Morrisette, Edie Brickell/Paul Simon, and other songs by David Bowie, Faith Hill, and Sting, among others. Star-studded, to say the least; the full song list is here. Starbucks handled the cost of producing the CD and is donating $8 from each purchase. It’s scheduled to be available in their stores till May 29th – and we’re told that if you don’t see it out on display, just ask for it.

    I highly recommend the film “No Woman, No Cry” by Christy Turlington Burns, part of this Every Mother Counts campaign. Very moving and informative.

    In supporting maternal health, does that include abortion support? I just want to know what my money would be used for, not trying to be difficult. Just trying to be informed.

    Thanks!
