Rock out to Stevie Nicks' new abortion-rights anthem
Rock and roll icon Stevie Nicks released a new abortion-rights anthem on Friday. Nicks wrote “The Lighthouse” shortly after the Supreme Court’s conservative majority overturned Roe v. Wade in June 2022, eliminating the constitutional right to abortion.
“I find it very sad, at 76 years old, I had to see Roe v. Wade taken away,” Nicks told People magazine, adding that she found herself absorbing a ton of media coverage after the decision. “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 said.
