Roe v. Wade: Madonna, Olivia Rodrigo, Billie Eilish, Pink, More Celebs React To Judgment
Roe v. Wade was overthrown by the Supreme Court on June 24. The news has set off a plethora of protests and reactions, with many celebrities taking to social media to condemn the ruling.
Madonna took to Instagram to share a series of photos from the Pride party she attended at Terminal 5 in New York City. In the caption of the post, she mentioned how she "woke up to the terrifying news that Roe V Wade had been overturned."
"Legislation has decided that We no longer have rights as women over our bodies," she added. "This decision Has plunged me And every other woman in this country into deep despair."
The 63-year-old singer further mentioned she is "scared for her daughters," before adding, "I’m scared for all women in America. I am just plain scared. I Guess God Put this on our shoulders right now because he knew that we were strong enough To bear the weight."
Singer Olivia Rodrigo, who performed at Glastonbury Festival in England over the weekend, dedicated a song to the justices.
"F--- you, f--- you very, very much/’Cause we hate what you do/And we hate your whole crew," she sang on the stage. "The song is for the justices: Samuel Alito, Clarence Thomas, Neil Gorsuch, Amy Coney Barrett, Brett Kavanaugh. We hate you! We hate you."
Billie Eilish, who also performed at Glastonbury, said: "Today is a really, really dark day for women in the U.S. I'm just going to say that because I can't bear to think about it any longer."
While hosting the 2022 BET Awards, Taraji P. Henson said, "It is about time we talk about the fact that guns have more rights than a woman. It’s a sad day in America. A weapon that can take lives has more power than a woman who can give life if she chooses to."
Singer Pink also took to Twitter over the weekend to share her thoughts.
"Let’s be clear: if you believe the government belongs in a woman’s uterus, a gay persons business or marriage, or that racism is okay- THEN PLEASE IN THE NAME OF YOUR LORD NEVER F--KING LISTEN TO MY MUSIC AGAIN," she wrote. "AND ALSO F--K RIGHT OFF. We good?"
Roe v. Wade was the Supreme Court's landmark decision made on Jan. 22, 1973. This decision protected a pregnant woman's right to choose if she wants to have an abortion or not.
