Tim Heidecker shares “To the Males”, a tragic story of abortion for the Alabama State Senate: Stream

Except you’re on or watch Fox Information, odds are you’re fairly outraged by what simply went down in Alabama. After the State Senate voted to go the nation’s most restrictive anti-abortion invoice — one which does not even embody exceptions in instances of rape or incest — Governor Kay Ivey signed the ban into regulation. Whereas even Ivey admits the regulation is extra of a ploy in hopes of getting Roe v. Wade overturned fairly than trustworthy laws, it’s nonetheless a cynical, gross, and harmful political motion.

Many public figures have spoken out towards the invoice, however Tim Heidecker has taken it a step additional. He’s launched a brand new tune referred to as “To the Males”, which speaks on to the 25 white, male, Republican senators who voted to go the invoice.

The observe tells the horrible story of a newly 13-year-old woman who’s satisfied to have intercourse with a boy after college. Strict taboos imply she will’t inform her dad and mom when she finally ends up pregnant and the daddy decides to vanish. With no recourse in a state the place medical doctors performing abortions may be jailed for 99 years, she goes to a again alley clinic — and doesn’t survive.

It’s heartbreaking. It’s disgusting. And it’s precisely what the politicians in Alabama (and, because the tune mentions, Ohio, Georgia, and elsewhere) simply voted in favor of.

Proceeds from the tune go to profit The Yellowhammer Fund, which supplies funding for these in search of care in any of Alabama’s three abortion clinics. (Clinics which, it’s vital to recollect, are fortunately nonetheless working and can probably proceed to function because the regulation will get tied up in courts.) Hearken to “To the Males” under.

Heidecker is ready to launch his new album, What the Brokenhearted Do…, on June seventh. Discover the total “To the Males” lyrics under.

She was poor she was simply 13
She was 12 a month in the past
She was residing in Alabama
She was residing in Ohio
She was residing in Georgia
She didn’t have wherever to go

She was younger, she didn’t know the principles
She didn’t assume she might say no
thought it was love and it’d be ceaselessly
In a locker room after college
She couldn’t inform anyone
couldn’t inform her mother or dad
She didn’t know what to do
All she knew was that it was dangerous

She was residing in Alabama
She was residing in Ohio
She was residing in Georgia
She didn’t have wherever to go

Advised a good friend who had been down that highway
Advised a good friend she was late
And the good friend stated she had no alternative
Have the infant or get out of the state
The woman didn’t have a lot cash
and the boy disappeared
for per week she stated she wasn’t feeling good
as she rolled up in a ball of worry

She was residing in Alabama
She was residing in Ohio
She was residing in Georgia
She didn’t have wherever to go

There’s a spot within the run down a part of city
A spot younger ladies keep removed from
She might go and take her possibilities
In an hour the deed be carried out
To the lads in theirs brown fits
To the lads passing legal guidelines
I simply have a easy query
To the lads with out flaws

Have you ever seen a younger woman dying
Have you ever seen em bleed to dying
Have you ever seen a younger woman dying
Have you ever seen em take their last breath
