In an exclusive op-ed, singer-songwriter discusses the crucial need for reproductive freedom in America

Yep, that’s right. I’m a 38-year-old woman, baptized into three different churches, and I believe that I have the right to decide what I do or do not do with my body. I am capable of rational decision-making, much like a crow. And Christ, even birds get to decide. Yes, Ol’ Monster Shires is a bird-watcher.

I believe in God. I believe God gave women the ability to terminate pregnancies long before men started negotiating our right to do so. The herbs have been here all along. Advances in science and medicine have made terminating a pregnancy far safer than it was a few hundred years ago, but women have always been able to control our reproductive systems.

I have a child. She’s five. This past summer, she became a bird-watcher, too. After she saw a bird purposefully push an egg out of its nest, she asked, “Why did the bird do that?” I told her the bird could have done that for a lot of different reasons. I started listing them off. Then I said, “Mommy was pregnant a long time ago and didn’t want to be pregnant, so she called a doctor to help her not be pregnant anymore.

JasonIsbell amandashires Dear Amanda, thank you for speaking out. I find it shocking how many women still vote Republican.

amandashires She means pre-modern tech times? the more common method of abortion back then was giving birth and then killing the baby, since abortions during pregnancy were rather dangerous to try. even today there can be complications but don't expect abortionist to show up at the hospital.

amandashires Dropped by to see how everyone is doing

amandashires Good bye career! Thanks for playing!

amandashires TRUMPiCANS 🇺🇸

amandashires This article couldn’t be more morally incoherent. Her excuses for violence against innocence are analogies to irrational animals. She admits to reasoning like a crow. Indeed. Fitting for one who, with transparent affectation, defends the principal of might (ability) makes right.

amandashires God has nothing to do with it. Women have had to deal with misogyny since time immemorial. It’s time to understand, her life, her body, her choice.

JasonIsbell amandashires I stand with Amanda Shires.

amandashires Please define woman.

amandashires Define 'woman'.

amandashires 'If anyone causes one of these little ones—those who believe in me—to stumble, it would be better for them to have a large millstone hung around their neck and to be drowned in the depths of the sea.' - Matthew 18:6 Sure sounds like God was protective of the 'little ones' to me

amandashires Yup, Jesus was all about tax payer funded abortions.

JasonIsbell amandashires I adore Amanda. Thank you for this reminder

amandashires That's not what God said. God said, 'be fruitful and multply' and 'thou shall not kill'. You cannot alter the Bible to fit your lifestyle.

amandashires Really? When did God do that when he said to be fruitful and multiply? or when he said Do not kill

amandashires And by God she means Baphomet of course.

amandashires Depends on your god, I suppose.

amandashires She obviously doesn't understand that states will now have the freedom to draft abortion law.

What about the *rights* of the unborn? Do you know that we would have DOUBLE the Black population if we didn't have abortion? That is 30 million lives LOST-that never saw their full potential!

There are things that have nothing to do with abortion that could be used to secure the right/s for women to maintain control over their bodies, and to not have predators doctors' locations involved with all others tied to/as that, like progressions form/as, and to worse USA
