When Roe V Wade was overturned by the Supreme Court, singer-songwriter Margaret Glaspy’s immediate reaction, like the majority of the United States citizens, was both one of anger and the feeling that something needed to be done. Channeling those emotions, she was spurred to release “My Body My Choice” which, while written by Glaspy 2 years ago, is unfortunately still relevant today. 

A portion of the proceeds from today’s single will go towards The Brigid Alliance, a referral-based service that provides travel, food, lodging, childcare and other logistical support for people seeking abortions. Further, Glaspy is confirmed to play an August 7 show at Brooklyn’s Baby’s All Right benefiting The Brigid Alliance.  Also on the bill are Katy Kirby, Lola Kirke and more.

Lyrics:

I pierce my ears and paint my nails
I wear my hair down in two pigtails
I make all my money raising my voice 
It’s my body so it’s my choice

My friend Jim felt like Jane
So she changed her clothes and her name
She starts hormones on Monday, so I’m watching her boys 
It’s her body so it’s her choice
Go on girl

Sweet, sweet Laura is just 19
When she finds out she’s pregnant during school orientation 
Radio silence from the father
Laura says I’m not ready for a son or a daughter
Oh sweet Laura rejoice
It’s your body so it’s your choice
It’s okay girl
It’s your body so it’s your choice

My Body My Choice
