Singer and songwriter Lily Allen has reacted to the US Supreme Court ruling that overturned the constitutional right to abortion. She revealed that she had an abortion and added that women should not have to “justify” their decision.
Lily’s comments come after she joined Olivia Rodrigo on the stage at a music festival for a rendition of her 2009 song ‘F*** You’. Rodrigo dedicated the song to the US Supreme Court members who overturned the landmark Roe v Wade ruling.
Lily took to Instagram stories on Thursday and wrote, “I wish people would stop posting examples of exceptional reasons for having abortions. Most people I know, myself included, just didn’t want to have a f****ng baby. And that is reason enough! We don’t have to justify it.”
“It shouldn’t have to be said, and I think all these examples just play into the hands of the baddies,” she added.
Singers Taylor Swift and Selena Gomez were outraged after the US Court ended the constitutional right to abortion.
I’m absolutely terrified that this is where we are - that after so many decades of people fighting for women’s rights to their own bodies, today’s decision has stripped us of that. https://t.co/mwK561oxxl
