Fiona Apple shares message in Roe v. Wade Supreme Court case

Fiona Apple has joined the growing group of musicians to speak out against the recent Supreme Court decision in the Roe v. Wade, and vowed to do something about it.

Apple, famous for keeping a low profile between album releases, has recently been answering fans’ questions with its YouTube fan account Fiona Apple Rocks. On Sunday, she sent out videos answering questions, including one about her thoughts regarding reversing Roe v. Wade to the Supreme Court, effectively ending federal protections for abortions in the United States.

“We have to talk about how we feel about this, how unacceptable it is, [and] We have to keep expressing ourselves, because this is all just about control,” Apple says in the video. “We know that. It’s all about control. It is not about life. It is about taking control of women, and about taking away our control over our bodies — about stripping our autonomy, our privacy, our agency; Rule out our choices about what we can do with our lives. It’s about control, just like sexual assault is about control. That’s why this sounds like sexual assault.”

Apple ended the video with reference to another Supreme Court ruling, which eliminated the need for police to administer Miranda’s rulings. She said that while she doesn’t want to tell anyone else what to do, she will focus personally on donating to abortion funds rather than politicians.

“I will not give any money to politicians,” Apple said. I will give the money directly to the abortion funds and bail money. I’m so sorry, I don’t have any great things to say. But I don’t think that’s really my role here. I’m just one of many women who need to keep expressing that we don’t accept this is ridiculous.”
