Olivia Rodrigo is "heartbroken" over a potential Supreme Court decision to overturn the Roe V. Wade abortion ruling but made a powerful statement about protecting Abortion Rights.
A leaked draft opinion by Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito indicating plans to strike down the landmark 1973 ruling was published on Politico Monday.
Although Chief Justice John Roberts has confirmed the authenticity of the leaked document, he clarified that it does not represent a decision by the Court.
Addressing the issue during her concert in Washington, D.C. on Wednesday night, Rodrigo said, "Because we're in DC, I couldn't pass up the opportunity to say how heartbroken I am over the Supreme Court's potential decision."
Our bodies should never be in the hands of politicians," she added. "I hope we can raise our voices to protect our right to have a safe abortion, which is a right that so many people before us have worked so hard to get."
Rodrigo is the latest celebrity to speak out in support of abortion rights amid the controversy. Others include Halsey, Questlove, Whoopi Goldberg, Gracie Abrams and Phoebe Bridgers.
