Disney\/Michael J. Le Brecht II<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Stevie Nicks<\/strong> appeared on <\/span>CBS Sunday Morning<\/strong><\/span><\/em><\/a>, where she talked about her new song, \u201cThe Lighthouse,\u201d which is a protest song in support of women\u2019s rights in the wake of the overturning of Roe v. Wade.<\/span>\u00a0<\/p>\n

Asked why she decided to speak out on the issue, Nicks noted, “Because everybody kept saying, ‘Well, somebody has to do something. Somebody has to say something.’ And I’m like, ‘Well, I have a platform. I tell a good story. So maybe I should try to do something.'” She added, “I was also there. I was,\u00a0<\/span>been there, done that.<\/span><\/em>“<\/span><\/p>\n

Stevie recounted her decision to have an abortion in 1979 after she became pregnant with then-boyfriend Don Henley<\/strong>,\u00a0saying that her having a baby would have \u201cdestroyed\u201d Fleetwood Mac<\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\n

“It would’ve been a nightmare scenario for me to live through,” she shared.<\/span><\/p>\n

Asked what she\u2019d want to say to anyone who criticized her decision to have an abortion, Stevie said, \u201cIf people want to be mad at me, be mad at me. I don’t care. Had I made the other choice, had I gone the other way, I’d have been a great mom. I went this way, and I’ve done great.”<\/span><\/p>\n

And for Stevie, the song is more about getting the message out than having a hit.<\/span><\/p>\n

“Poets write what they write, and poets should not be censored. Writers should not be censored. This song should not be censored,\u201d she said. \u201cIt should go out into the world and do what it’s gonna do, maybe change some minds. There is a God, and God gave me this talent to sing and write and dance. So, I’m doing my job.”<\/span><\/p>\n
