Allie Beth Stuckey: Demi Lovato needs Jesus
If Demi Lovato releasing a song celebrating abortion was on your bingo card for 2023, you can cross it off now.
Lovato’s new song “Swine” protests the one-year anniversary of the overturning of Roe v. Wade and features vulgar lyrics like, “God forbid, I wanna suck whatever the f**k I wanna / God forbid, I wanna f**k whoever the f**k I wanna.”
Lovato has also recently changed her pronouns back to she/her, as she claims it was too exhausting having to correct people as a “they.” Allie Beth Stuckey thinks Lovato desperately needs to find Jesus.
In a tweet, Lovato explained that “Swine” was meant to “empower not only the birthing people of this country, but everyone who stands up for equality, to embrace their agency and fight for a world where every person’s right to make decisions about their own body is honored.”
“I want to empower you right now, Demi Lovato,” Stuckey responds, “you do not have to have unprotected sex. That is a choice that you can make.”
In cases of rape, which many abortion activists cling to as why abortion is necessary, Stuckey believes that “we should give the death penalty to the rapist and not the child.”
However, Lovato doesn’t quite make that argument in her song. Rather, her lyrics show a much more vain reason for not wanting to give the child a life.
Toward the end of the song, she sings, “We gotta’ grow and we gotta’ raise them / We gotta’ feed and bathe them / And if you won’t they call you a witch to burn at the stake in Salem.”
“It’s just completely – not just morally bankrupt – but intellectually bankrupt, like she doesn’t know what she’s talking about,” Stuckey says.
“In all 50 states, abortion is legal to a certain extent. In a lot of states it is legal through all nine months with very few stipulations,” she continues, “so, like, what exactly is she talking about here?”
Stuckey answers that question herself.
Lovato isn’t quite talking about any issues that she’s particularly knowledgeable on, but rather “glorifying selfishness” and a “crass, promiscuous lifestyle.”
“I think that there’s something very deep that she’s fighting, very demonic that she’s fighting,” Stuckey reasons.
While Stuckey believes the song is abhorrent, she isn’t concerned.
“It's not going to change anyone’s mind; it’s not going to turn anyone from pro-life to being pro-choice. I don’t even think it’s going to encourage anyone to, you know, abort their child. It’s just adding to the noise, and it really kind of makes me sad for her.”
“I just pray that Demi Lovato, that God works on her heart,” she adds.
