Pop singer Demi Lovato launched a bitter, profanity-laced song on the anniversary of the life-saving Dobbs v. Jackson ruling that stereotypes pro-life advocates as Christian men whose only goal is to control women’s bodies.
Lovato, 30, named her song “Swine,” a description that dehumanizes pro-life advocates as well as unborn babies. The former Disney star did not mention women either, instead referring to pregnant mothers as “birthing people.”
“It’s been one year since the Supreme Court’s decision to dismantle the constitutional right to safe abortion, and although the path forward will be challenging, we must continue to be united in our fight for reproductive justice,” she wrote June 22 in an Instagram post. “I created ‘SWINE’ to amplify the voices of those who advocate for choice and bodily autonomy.”

Lovato claimed the fight for abortion on demand is about equality and empowerment, and abortion activists are fighting for “a world where every person’s right to make decisions about their own body is honored.” Every person except unborn babies, that is.
Most of her song is too inappropriate to print. “Swine” demands that women be allowed to have irresponsible sex without consequences. The first verse describes graphic sexual interactions, and almost every line includes the word “f—,” according to EVIE Magazine.
“My life, my voice / My rights, my choice / It’s mine, or I’m just swine,” Lovato sings in the chorus, suggesting women are mere animals when laws protect their unborn babies’ lives.
In the second verse, Lovato implies that pro-life advocates are Christian men who want to force women to have children.
“Picture your faith, imagine your God and even your Holy Bible / Is suddenly banned, do you understand?” the song continues. “Now, doesn’t that sound entitled? / It’s your book, but it’s my survival.”
Lovato goes on to suggest that children are nothing but life-draining burdens to whom women are enslaved.
“We gotta grow ’em, we gotta raise ’em, we gotta feed, and bathe ’em,” she sings. “And if you won’t, they call you a witch to burn at the stake in Salem / Thought by now they’d change, but we’re still waiting / Give these motherf——s hell.”
There is so much wrong with what she claims, the first being that children in the womb have no value. From the moment of conception, a unique, living and irreplaceable child comes into existence, one who is dependent on his or her mother not just for nine months but for years until adulthood.
Contrary to Lovato’s suggestions, pro-life advocates are not solely Christian or male either. The pro-life movement is a diverse group of men and women of all faiths and no faith who believe human rights are for all human beings, born and unborn.
Since the Dobbs ruling overturned Roe v. Wade, many states have passed pro-life legislation to protect unborn babies and increase support to pregnant and parenting families in need. Currently, 18 states have pro-life laws that protect unborn babies from abortion. Most are being enforced, but some states are still fighting legal challenges to be allowed to protect unborn babies.
Tens of thousands of unborn babies’ lives have been saved as a result of these laws. Estimates vary, but a recent report from the Society of Family Planning found that abortions dropped by about 24,000 nationwide from July 2022 to March 2023.
