Demi Lovato Releases Pro-Choice Anthem On 1st Anniversary of Roe v Wade Overturning

Demi Lovato is enticing fans with groundbreaking music that berates the overturning of the widely recognized U.S. Supreme Court decision on the legality of abortion, Roe v Wade.

As fans may all know, the landmark case, which was decided in 1973, resulted in the recognition and constitutionality of abortion, providing a pregnant woman the liberty to either choose to keep or abort a pregnancy.

Unfortunately, this historic decision was reversed following the Supreme Court's radical judgment in Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization, given in June 2022, leading to a nationwide protest by women's rights activists.

The outstanding songstress with impeccable vocals served as a ray of hope to her fans after releasing her pro-choice anthem that reproved the Supreme Court – overruling the decision earlier made in Wade's case. 

Announcing the debut of her new piece on social media, she took to her Twitter to post a snippet of the music video. In the 16 seconds clip, the "Heart Attack" crooner got into her element as she gyrated to the sound being played in the background and lip-synced the lyrics of her latest song.

For the video shoot, she wore a red gown, red fishnet leggings, and a black and red coat. The raven-haired beauty rocked a wet look for her hair.

Adding a caption to her post, she penned, "It's been one year since the Supreme Court's decision to dismantle the constitutional right to a safe abortion, and although the path forward will be challenging, we must continue to be united in our fight for reproductive justice."

Lovato continued, "I created 'SWINE' to amplify the voices of those who advocate for choice and bodily autonomy. I want this song to empower not only the birthing people of this country but everyone who stands up for equality, to embrace their agency and fight for a world where every person's right to make decisions about their own body is honored."

She concluded by inserting the link to the video for her fans to click and watch. Not only did her post amass over 15,000 likes, but her supporters trooped into her comments section to show their love and admiration for the pop singer.

Spotify Brasil penned, "Brazil loves you, Demi πŸ’š." While Amazon Music also expressed, "Love you, Demi! 🀍."

"IM SO PROUD OF YOU! Thank you for always speaking up on such important topics and always fighting for your beliefs. I'm so grateful we have someone like you to look up to! This song and music video are a MASTERPIECE. I love youuuuu," commented another fan.

A female fan gushed, "Love you, demi lovato!!! I can't wait to listen to it!!! I heard a snippet, and oh my god! It's awesome!!! Awesome message too!!!! U rock!!!! β€οΈπŸ˜πŸ’œπŸ₯°πŸ˜ŽπŸ‘πŸ₯³πŸŽ‰πŸ˜˜."

A peek into the music video depicted how Lovato tried to represent the rage and infuriation many women felt following the Supreme Court's judgment. In the magnetic clip, the "SkyScraper" vocalist appeared before a table of men who represented the highest court of authority as she led a revolution.

Expressing her disapproval, she took a document signed by the men and ripped it apart, causing cheerful approval from a group of people. Apart from conveying her displeasure through her music, Lovato created a resource center on her website, including a map that displayed the status of abortion rights in each state at the current moment.

Other helpful resources include materials on how to access an abortion in your area, a hotline to dial if you need immediate support, what funds may be available, and how to access abortion pills.

The artist also intends to donate the profit from the song to the "Reproductive Justice Fund" at the Demi Lovato Foundation for a year.

A Look At The Lyrics Of The Radical Song 'Swine'

Lovato's new melody, although pleasant to the ears, has a deeper meaning when the wording of the music is analyzed.

The verses include, "God forbid, I wanna suck whatever the *uck I wanna. God forbid, I wanna *uck whoever the *uck I want. And if he cums, I guess I have to be a mother. *uck what I think, I don't know a thing. The government knows my body. No, it's okay; it's better this way; I'm only a carbon copy. Even if I'm dying, they'll try to stop me."

The chorus contained words like, "Do we even hear ourselves? My life, my voice. My rights, my voice. It's mine, or I'm just swine. My blood, my loins. My lungs, my nose. It's mine, or I'm just swine (hey, hey, hey, hey)."
