Fleetwood Mac was more important than the baby's life.
With the presidential election less than two weeks away, Stevie Nicks, 76, is speaking out about abortion rights.
In an interview with CBS News Sunday Morning, Nicks said that at the beginning of her career, in 1979, she had an unplanned pregnancy despite having an IUD and being "totally protected."
"I'm like, 'This can't be happening.' Fleetwood Mac is three years in. And it's big. And we're going into our third album. It was like, 'Oh no, no, no, no, no, no,'" she said, adding, "It would have destroyed Fleetwood Mac."
"It would've been a nightmare scenario for me to live through," she said.
Nicks also addressed her abortion in an interview with Rolling Stone, published on Thursday.
"I am not the kind of woman who would hand my baby over to a nanny, not in a million years. So we would be dragging a baby around the world on tour, and I wouldn't do that to my baby," she said.
She wouldn't have needed nine months but a couple of years to care for her baby. But doing so would have broken up the band, she said.
