Fiona Apple responds to Roe v. Wade repeal: “It’s not about life. It’s about control”

Fiona Apple has shared her thoughts about the overturning of Roe v. Wade, saying that the repeal is “not about life. It’s about control”.Last week, the US Supreme Court made the decision to overturn the landmark abortion ruling Roe v.

Wade. This means abortion will no longer be protected as a federal right in the US for the first time since 1973, and each state will be able to decide individually whether to restrict or ban abortion.On Sunday (June 26), Apple shared a video online in which she discusses how unacceptable the new ruling is and says that it’s important people talk about how they feel.“We have to talk about how we feel about this, how unacceptable this is, have to keep expressing ourselves because this is all about control.

You know that,” Apple says at the start of her video message.“It’s all about control,” she continues. “It’s not about life. It’s about control.

It’s about control of women, about 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.“It’s about control.
