“Planned Parenthood is grateful to these artists for using their incredible platforms to declare that our bodies are our own — if they are not, we can never be truly free or equal,” Alexis McGill Johnson, Planned Parenthood’s acting president and CEO, said in a statement according to a report from The Hill.
“With their help, Planned Parenthood and our supporters will keep fighting to ensure that our patients — and people across the country — can still access reproductive and sexual health care, no matter what.”
Billboard reports:
“In recent weeks, many artists have voiced support for abortion rights. Grande donated $250,000 in proceeds from a June concert in Atlanta to Planned Parenthood, while Travis Scott and Rogers have pledged merch sales from recent performances to the nonprofit. When Alabama passed a law criminalizing nearly all abortions in May, Rihanna tweeted a photo of the 25 lawmakers who had voted in favor of the bill — all of them white men — writing, “These are the idiots making decisions for WOMEN in America.”
