In light of the one-year anniversary of the Supreme Court’s decision to end the constitutional right to abortion in the United States,Demi Lovatois speaking her mind.
On Thursday, Lovato released her newest song “Swine” and for one year, profits from the song will be donated to theReproductive Justice Fundat the Demi Lovato Foundation. The funds will then be directed to three non-profit organizations:NARAL Pro-Choice America,Plan C, andThe National Network of Abortion Funds.
“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,” the “Sorry Not Sorry” singer, 30, said in a press release. “I created ‘SWINE’ to amplify the voices of those who advocate for choice and bodily autonomy.”

They added, “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.”
In themusic video, Lovato appears in front of a table of men who seemingly represent the Supreme Court as she leads a revolution. At one point, she takes a document they signed and rips it apart — causing a group of people to rage and cheer her on.
“My life, my voice/My rights, my choice/It’s mine, or I’m just swine,” she sings. “My blood, my loins/My lungs, my noise/It’s mine, or I’m just swine.”
The “Heart Attack” singer also created a resource center on her website, including a map that displays the status of abortion rights in each state at the current moment. There are also resources from Planned Parenthood on topics such as how to access an abortion in your area, a hotline to dial if you need immediate support, what funds may be available for you and how to access abortion pills. There is also a space for others to tell their story.
