Singer Olivia Rodrigo paused her concert in Washington, D.C., on Thursday night to speak out against an expired draft opinion suggesting the Supreme Court is ready to overturn abortion rights.
“I could not miss the opportunity to talk about how overwhelmed I am by the potential decision of the Supreme Court to overturn Rowe v. Wade,“, Said the 19-year-old to the shouts of fans, referring to the remarkable 1973 decision recognizing the constitutional right to abortion.
“When a woman tells us that her body should never be in the hands of politicians,” Rodrigo continued, “I hope we can raise our voices to defend our right to a safe abortion, which is a right that is so much people before us have worked so hard to get it. “
“It’s so important,” she said.
