Singer Stevie Nicks has released her first solo single in four years, and it’s an ode to abortion.
In an interview with PEOPLE, Nicks said she wrote “The Lighthouse” after the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade in the 2022 Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization decision. “I find it very sad, at 76 years old, I had to see Roe v. Wade taken away,” she said. “Two years ago, when I realized the consequences of women’s rights that are vanishing, I watched a lot of news, and I was like a sponge — it just went into me.”
She said she spent the last two years writing and perfecting the song. “One morning I woke up… which, I never write when I wake up in the morning, and all of a sudden went, ‘I have my scars, I have my scars,’ so I just grabbed my notebook, and I started writing the whole thing,” she continued. “It was a long-form poem, and I didn’t know what kind of song that would be. I found an instrumental that I loved and within two or three days, I had recorded the song. I never redid the vocal — it’s an original vocal — and it’s taken me two years.”
In a sad statement to how extreme her pro-abortion activism is, Nicks said the song could be the most important thing she ever does.
“All the stories that we tell about the necessity for women’s healthcare and the necessity for a safe and legal abortion option for women is absolutely necessary,” she said. In a statement published on X, she further added, “It seemed like overnight, people were saying, ‘What can we, as a collective force, do about this… ‘”
She added, apparently missing the irony of discussing generations to come when referring to killing our posterity, “For me, it was to write a song. I have often said to myself, ‘This may be the most important thing I ever do.’ To stand up for the women of the United States and their daughters and granddaughters — and the men that love them. This is an anthem.”
In the lyrics, Nicks sings about losing “everything I fought for,” how a nightmare has begun, and how women should be afraid.
I have my scars, you have yours
Don’t let them take your power
Don’t leave it alone in the final hours
They’ll take your soul, they’ll take your power
Unless you stand up and take it back
Try to see the future and get mad
It’s slipping through your fingers, you don’t have what you had
You don’t have much time to get it back
Ultimately, what Nicks is saying women need to be powerful is the ability to kill their own preborn children. And the notion of women needing to have abortion to be successful is not only wrong, but grossly misogynistic… yet it’s still an idea that Nicks has frequently promoted.
Nicks previously spoke about her own abortion, saying there would have been no Fleetwood Mac had she not killed her preborn child, who she said she would have named Sara — and who was the inspiration for the Fleetwood Mac song.
When Nicks got pregnant, she was dating Don Henley, one of the founding members of the Eagles. “If I had not had that abortion, I’m pretty sure there would have been no Fleetwood Mac,” she said. “There’s just no way that I could have had a child then, working as hard as we worked constantly. And there were a lot of drugs, I was doing a lot of drugs … I would have had to walk away.”
She’s also further insinuated that there were not only more abortions, but that — far from being something that gave her power — they strongly affected her; in a 1992 interview, she said, “To give up four babies is to give up a lot that would be here now. So that bothers me, a lot, and really breaks my heart. But they’re gone, so… .”
“On the Edge of 70 was a great song.” Intentional or not? Kind of funny either way.
She is fine with the idea of murdering innocent babies, but no doubt she opposes executing murderers of innocent children and adults. Liberalism does that to you, Stevie.
I knew a 70+ yar old woman who said she'd rather live in a cave with no creature comforts, than to have her Right to Choose taken away.
I quietly murmured to myself, "Don't worry, babe. Nature has already stripped you of that right."
Gold dust woman has been hitting too much white dust.
Sometimes I think God raised up Western Civilization just to show the Humans what delusion was like at its extreme end point.
Those fingers in my hair
That sly come-hither stare
That strips my conscience bare
It’s witchcraft
Ironic that Peter Green, who preceded Nicks in Fleetwood Mac, wrote Black Magic Woman.
I thought the most important thing she’d ever done was playing herself in 2 or 3 episodes of “American Horror Story.”
Christine McVie was much more talented than Stevie.
Stevie didn’t know the difference between a landslide and an avalanche. When she saw her reflection in the snow (cocaine) covered hills an avalanche would bring it down. Not a landslide.
Stevie Nicks had a nice singing voice but she never learned to sing properly and thus ruined her vocal chords.
Spaying is actually a better birth control than abortion.
Like most bands, the lead voice becomes part of the signature sound over time. And, as humans get over 75 years their singing voices tend to deteriorate. FM was a fine band, saw them a few times and they did a nice job.
Maybe they’ll have a male singer do a
parody of a Paul Anka hit and call it
You’re Killing My Baby
I used to admire Stevie Nicks because during the Afghanistan/Iraq Wars period, she visited Walter Reed and Bethesda Naval Hospital and visited with many of the wounded, giving them CD players and CDs. Sad to read this about her own wounded heart.
nicks is a poster child for why celebrities should keep their mouths shut except when reciting lines from a script or lyrics...
She makes it like the band wasn't there before 1980! It was there BEFORE SHE JOINED!!! I'm sure it would have continued without her.
And I'm never listening to "Sarah" again.
Deut 32:35
Vengeance is mine, and recompense, for the time when their foot shall slip;
for the day of their calamity is at hand, and their doom comes swiftly.
Stevie says she’s pretty sure there woulda been no Fleetwood Mac had she not aborted? The moron might not be aware, but Fleetwood Mac existed about 8 years before she graced them with her presence.
And they were a much better band when it was just the dudes.
Fleetwood Mac 1969,

The Shirley McClean mentality mystical crystal chicks took over and ruined the band....
