Originally written two years ago and officially released today, Margaret Glaspy’s powerful single “My Body My Choice” resonates profoundly with women’s rights now under heightened attack in light of the Supreme Court’s overturning of the landmark Roe v. Wade court case last month.

A portion of the proceeds from sales of the single will be donated to The Brigid Alliance, a non-profit, referral-based service that provides travel, food, lodging, child care and other logistical support for people seeking abortions. Glaspy will join Katy Kirby and Lola Kirke for a Brigid Alliance benefit show at Brooklyn’s Baby’s All Right on Sunday, August 7th.

“‘My Body My Choice’ is a song of protest,” the New York City based singer-songwriter-guitarist explains in an official statement. “Taking away resources from people who need abortions only leaves them with unsafe alternatives, and no one should be forced to experience that. It is absolutely necessary for any person who can give birth to consent to their own pregnancy. It feels absurd that we are still fighting this fight, but here we are. It’s your body, so it should be your choice.”

Amen. Listen to “My Body My Choice” below.
