“Remember Rose: A Song For Choice” is about the first backstreet fatality of the 1977 Medicaid-Abortion cutoff. We GLBTs sometimes forget that privacy rights are all joined at the hip. The odious “anti-sodomy” laws fell in a decision that widely sited the USSC’s birth/control & abortion decisions. And should Roe v. Wade fall, it would affect all privacy rights.
All recorded tracks of “Rose” feature a cameo guest vocal by the late Congresswoman Bella Abzug (D-NY), who introduced the first-ever GLBT Congressional civil rights bill. I’ve sung the song at hundreds of national and state rallies, including the million-strong 2004 March for Women’s Lives.
