A two-time inductee of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame has asserted that the world would have been deprived of the happiness and healing her singing career produced if she had not had an abortion four decades ago.
Legendary singer Stevie Nicks said in a recent interview with The Guardian that if she hadn’t aborted the child she conceived with Eagles singer Don Henley in 1979, she's “pretty sure there would have been no Fleetwood Mac.”
“There’s just no way that I could have had a child then, working as hard as we worked constantly,” said Nicks.
“And there were a lot of drugs, I was doing a lot of drugs … I would have had to walk away,” said the now-72-year-old singer. “And I knew that the music we were going to bring to the world was going to heal so many people’s hearts and make people so happy.”
“And I thought: you know what? That’s really important,” she claimed. “There’s not another band in the world that has two lead women singers, two lead women writers. That was my world’s mission.”
“Abortion rights, that was really my generation’s fight,” said Nicks, who declared that recently deceased Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsberg was her hero. “If President Trump wins this election and puts the judge he wants in, she will absolutely outlaw it and push women back into back-alley abortions.”
Many were appalled by Nicks’ revelation, and disagreed with her assessment that her career was more important than loving and caring for the child she aborted.
Stevie Nicks says Fleetwood Mac wouldn’t have become what it did without her abortion and that her music was more important for the world.

“Justifying murder. What da!?” tweeted talk show host Jesse Lee Peterson.
Justifying murder. What da!? Not cool.
Stevie Nicks: There‘d Be No Fleetwood Mac ‘If I Had Not Had That Abortion‘ https://t.co/pqXSKeWxHA via @BreitbartNews— Jesse Lee Peterson (@JLPtalk) October 15, 2020
And that's the problem with our society — children being viewed as a burden, as something that will hinder you from achieving your goals.

Nicks, who reportedly has had a total of four abortions, is not without regret.
“To give up four [babies] is to give up a lot that would be here now,” admitted Nicks in a 1992 Vox Magazine interview.
“So that really bothers me, a lot, and really breaks my heart. But they’re gone, so…” she continued. “But I couldn’t because I was too busy. And I had all these commitments.”
“Some women have no interest in becoming mothers, but that isn’t the case with Stevie Nicks,” explained National Review’s Kyle Smith.
“She did want to be a mother, very badly,” wrote Smith. “Witness the gently horrifying soft-rock classic ‘Sara,’ the only rock song I can think of in which the singer muses about having actually killed another human being. Neither Bob Marley nor Eric Clapton really shot the sheriff, but Nicks did kill Sara, and that’s what infuses the song with a delirium of regret.”
Thank you oh so much for murdering your kid. Your sacrifice was tremendous, and it was done all for us. What a gal.
Stevie really is a witch.
Well, at least Stevie hasn’t threatened to leave the country if Trump wins.....YET
Selfish
Selfish
My ears will no longer listen to murder music.
Just a Welsh witch doing what Welsh witches do.
No Fleetwood Mac, what a tragedy that would have been, my whole life would have been destroyed.
It’s sad that she actually thinks that way.
I never really liked Fleetwood Mac much, other than The Chain, so I don't think it would have been that significant of a sacrifice, but that's me.
I know it’s a close call, but the world might possible have survived without Fleetwood Mac. Maybe.
Very funny; these evil people truly overestimate their importance to the world, don’t they?
Those four babies don’t think Fleetwood Mac was all its cracked up to be...
Killed four of her babies...
For some hokey muzac.
Eww.
Zero self-awareness. Nicks is telling every vulnerable teenaged female that the cost of superstardom is murdering your own child. Enjoy hell Stevie.
Another sad testament to how divorced from reality and love left-wingers really are. I had a classmate in secondary school who was deeply in love with the cool kid and QB. She confided in me that they used no “protection,” and that she had had a number of abortions. I remember weeping; she laughed. I was a virgin at the time. So sad. The cool kid died of an overdose a few years ago.
What a pompous PIG. She joined Fleetwood Mac in 1975.
Fleetwood Mac was founded in 1967:
PETER GREEN
MICK FLEETWOOD
JOHN MCVIE
JEREMY SPENCER
DANNY KIRWIN
My late brother “Lancey Howard”(FR) used to say Fleetwood Mac ENDED when Peter Green left. “The chicks ruined it.”
Nicks is one of many in the music world that I was once a fan of, but now eschew. The more I learn about her, the more repulsive she seems.
Gee, tough choice eh? Bookoo bucks, or permit a life to exist?
Fleetwood Mac preceded Stevie Nicks. Their music was rawer and more powerful before she joined them.
I think she means, without abortion, there would be no Fleetwood Mac *for her*. Even that is dubious.
