Olivia Rodrigo
At Glastonbury, the famous festival in the United Kingdom, which was held last weekend, Olivia Rodrigo was one of the most prominent stars, during her performance Sudden action Called on stage: Lily Allen. Together they performed Allen's song Damn you from 2009, but not before Rodrigo made it clear that she had a very specific dedication to the song. The singer gave a powerful speech about the Supreme Court's decision.
“I am devastated by what happened yesterday in America,” Rodrigo said. “The Supreme Court decided Roe v. Wade to overturn Wade. This is the law that guarantees women's right to safe abortion and other basic human rights. I'm terrified that many women and girls will die because of this.
And I want to dedicate this next song to the five members of the Supreme Court who showed us that, at the end of the day, they don't care about freedom. This song goes to Justices: Samuel Alito, Clarence Thomas, Neil Gorsuch, Amy Coney Barrett, and Brett Kavanaugh. “We hate you.”
@oliviarodrigo & Lily Allen I absolutely adore you. Thank you for standing up for our rights. You are such a bad bitch pic.twitter.com/9xYPaBvqZV

“Repealing the law and banning abortions will never make them go away,” politician and activist Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez wrote on Twitter. “It makes them more dangerous, especially for the poor and marginalized. People will die because of this decision. We will never stop until abortion rights are restored in the United States of America.”
Overturning Roe and banning abortions will never make them go away.
This makes them more dangerous, especially for the poor and marginalized.
People will die because of this decision. And we will never stop until abortion rights are restored in the United States of America.
