Fiona Apple has shared her thoughts on the reversal of Roe v. Wade. The 5-4 Supreme Court decision was leaked in May but officially arrived Friday, ending the national right to an abortion upheld for nearly 50 years.
Apple’s three-minute statement was uploaded on Sunday to Fiona Apple Rocks, a YouTube fan page that has recently been hosting Q&As with the celebrated singer-songwriter. “We have to talk about how we feel about this — how unacceptable this is,” Apple says in the video. “[We] have to keep on expressing ourselves because this is just all about control… It’s not about life… It’s about control of women, control of our bodies; about taking our control of our own bodies away; about taking our autonomy and our privacy and our agency away, taking our choices about what we can do with our lives away.
