Stevie Nicks and Rush Limbaugh on the importance of killing inconvenient, unborn children

Here is the actual quote:

“‘if I had not had that abortion, I’m pretty sure there would have been no Fleetwood Mac,’ Nicks, 72 [77], told the outlet. ‘there’s just no way that I could have had a child then, working as hard as we worked constantly. and there were a lot of drugs, I was doing a lot of drugs … I would have had to walk away.’”

Could she have walked away, or let her parents raise her kid? Or give it up for adoption? That’s an alternative, but it can turn out bad. Look up what happened with Joni Mitchell, when her long lost, and quite bitter, daughter looked her up. Or she could have had her child, and worked with the compromises it would have required. Fleetwood Mac still could have existed as a creative band. Some famous musicians have balanced their careers with child rearing. What she could not have indulged in fully were the drugs, relentless touring, partying and other excesses, most of which she didn’t have to do, she just wanted to. She should be more honest about that.

One has to wonder, though. She’s 77 now and if she had children, she would likely have grandchildren also. Is she truly happy with all her success, or would she be happier now with the love and comfort of progeny who love you unconditionally...and a little less fame and money?

Oh, well, of course, Stevie. The mental well-being of the mother. The medical terminology is “nightmare scenario,” as you told entertainment weekly:

“but mostly, having a child with Don Henley would not have gone over big in Fleetwood Mac, with Lindsey and me — we had been broken up for two or three years. It would’ve been a nightmare scenario for me to live through.

[N.S.: She had broken up with Henley, or with the band? Why would it be a nightmare scenario for her to have a child, “two or three years” after having broken up with Henley, or “two or three years” after the band had broken up? Is there some inscrutable meaning I’m missing here?]

And: “‘now, what the hell am I going to do? I cannot have a child,’ she recalled to the outlet. ‘I am not the kind of woman who would hand my baby over to a nanny, not in a million years. so we would be dragging a baby around the world on tour, and I wouldn’t do that to my baby. I wouldn’t say I just need nine months. I would say I need a couple of years, and that would break up the band, period. So my decision was to have an abortion.’”

That nanny line reminds me of Rush Limbaugh’s brilliant “Caller Abortion” monologue from the 1980s:

“Then somebody said, ‘Rush, ...[t]his is not the stuff you’re made of. You don’t abort calls, Rush. Put ‘em up for adoption. Put ‘em on hold. Let some other host adopt that call, leave it for somebody else to take.

“And I said ‘I can’t do that.

“Why not?

“That, that poor call might be abused! I don’t know what the adopting host is going to do. ... no! No, I’m going to abort these calls ...”

The LEAST you can do is post a pic of Miss Nicks from the mid ‘70s, N.S.

A fetching one (99% were).
