There have been threads about this topic and article before. Essentially, there is a debate about whether La Nicks is talking about the four loves of her life or whether she is explicitly stating that she had four abortions. I believe this article comes from a live interview which should be available somewhere. In that interview, it is unclear as to her meaning, though I think she refers to the four great loves and not four abortions.

Also, this discussion usually winds up getting into a big fight. So, I think we should drop it. At least I am.

It works fine for me, but if you click a thumb and it doesn't load, click it away and try again, it's an imagevenue-thing.

Thanks Sanne!
I'll never quite understand how they got back all together after all this drama and heartbreak. And from Stevie's words, Mick really comes out as a cold, calculating man.
Well, it's a miracle she bounced back from that sorry state long ago.

The last page says that if this were FM, then Mick would of been the white night that picked her up and refuse to make her sing this song

Yes, I would never want to hurt Stevie about commenting on if she has had 4 abortions. I Do remember Pat Benetar slowing her career down to have her child back in the day. It just seems kind of selfish to have mulitple abortions and claim it's all for the fans. As much as I love most of Stevies' music , I think it was more about the money and life in the fast lane then she'd like to admit.

I think she has admitted that in that she said she had to be in FM and she loved being in FM.

As for the abortions, she admitted to aborting Henley's child after Henley flat out said that Sara was about they aborted child, to wit:

The following quote is taken from Don Henley's 1991 interview with GQ:

[Henley's prodigious romantic escapades would include an affair with Stevie Nicks, who] "I believe to the best of my knowledge became pregnant by me. And she named the [unborn] kid Sara, and she had an abortion and then wrote the song of the same name to the spirit of the aborted baby. I was building my house at the time, and there's a line in the song that says ‘And when you build your house, call me.''

Following the release of that issue of GQ, there was a Stevie mention in the Sunday Parade, where a reader wrote in and asked how Stevie responded to Don's statement. The answer was:

"Stevie Nicks, 43, won't comment on Henley's revelation, only replies that they 'remain friends'. But in the notes to her new 'Best of' album, the singer writes candidly of love affairs she has had with rock stars Mick Fleetwood, Joe Walsh, and Henley. 'Finally, after all those years', Nicks says, 'people have to understand why these songs were written and why I sometimes get so emotional on stage, why I sometimes burst into tears.'"

Stevie was also asked about the GQ comment in an interview with Mary Turner in 1994. She responded by saying Don had to make many an apologetic phone call. La Nicks later said that after many phone calls and many deliveries of flowers, she forgave Don for the revelation. She also said she would never have revealed that to the world in that manner. She'd rather do it through her songs or something like that - I don't have the exact quote.

In any event, I find it hard to believe that La Nicks would say to a reporter that she had four abortions no matter how upset she was. She seemingly is way too conscious of her image for that.

What does Stevie say about the abortions now, does she ever talk about them? I've had friends that have had multiple abortions and their lives changed and they were very sorry about that time in their lives. I wonder what Stevie feels anyway. Some people don't care, others feel a loss.
