Artist and activist Viva Ruiz and the Thank God for Abortion collective perform the official 2020 TGFA Anthem: a pro-abortion pop masterpiece directly reclaiming spiritual and ritual religious trappings that have – until now – been used to oppress and shame people for having abortions.
From the artist:
“TGFA is a spiritual mission to affirm the sanctity of abortion having people. Queer people, gay people, trans people, and people of faith all have abortions. Where have our narratives been? I have had 2 abortions, am Latinx, queer, fluid, and Christian. We know that God loves us and we are blessed. Blocking access to abortion is racist, is classist, is ableist, is gender based violence. We demand that everyone regardless of faith stand with us for reproductive freedom under the banner of bodily autonomy: we belong to ourselves.“
Video released on October 13, 2020.
