Joy Villa stuns in a pro-life gown at the Grammy Awards

Singer Joy Villa likes to make a statement and she did it again at the 60th Grammy Awards on Sunday, January 28, 2018. Villa, who isn’t shy about sharing her opinion, wore a sleeveless white dress on which she hand-painted the image of a preborn child. She also carried a purse with a pro-life message: “choose life.”

At last year’s Grammys, Villa wore a dress stating, “Make America Great Again” in support of President Donald Trump.

 

 

“I’m a pro-life woman,” she told Fox News. “This year I chose to make a statement on the red carpet like I always do. I’m all about life.”

Villa told Fox News that her inspiration for the dress was the baby she placed for adoption when she was 21 years old.

While there are few outspoken pro-life celebrities, Villa doesn’t let that stop her from sharing her values. In 2017, she tweeted “Abortion is murder. Abortion is murder. Abortion…is murder.”

The General Health Law of 1986, promoted by Ernest Lluch (Minister of Health and Consumer Affairs between 1982 and 1986, under the presidency of Felipe Gonzalez), gave birth to the public health system, guaranteeing the constitutional right to health through public, universal and free health care. For the first time in our democratic history, health was recognised as a universal right, independent of income level, place of residence and origin or employment status.
