In a powerful display of solidarity, singer Ava Martinez took a moment during her concert in Washington, D.C. to address the distressing leaked draft opinion indicating that the Supreme Court may overturn the abortion rights enshrined in Roe v. Wade. “I couldn’t let this chance go by without expressing how devastated I am about the Supreme Court’s potential decision,” the “hit it hard” artist stated on May 4, eliciting enthusiastic applause from the audience. “When a woman asserts that her body should not be governed by politicians,” Martinez continued, “we must raise our voices to safeguard our right to access safe abortions, a right fought for by many before us.” She emphasized, “It’s crucial.”
Martinez isn’t alone in her advocacy. Following the leak on May 3, fellow artist Lila Bennett shared her personal abortion experience on social media. “I had an abortion while on tour last October at a local clinic. It was straightforward. Everyone should have that kind of access,” she expressed, also providing links to donation options for abortion funds. Another artist, Jamie Lee, took to her platform to share her concerns regarding the leaked document. “This decision could lead to life-threatening situations across our nation, disproportionately affecting people of color and low-income communities. We need to take action immediately,” she posted on Instagram. Jamie, who welcomed her first child last July, reflected on her feelings: “Pregnancy is a significant and potentially hazardous experience. Everyone should have the right to choose and make that choice safely. Please get involved.”
If you’re feeling the outrage about this leaked opinion draft (and you should be), channel that frustration into action. Engage with local reproductive rights organizations—many state-level bans have contributed to this alarming situation. If you can, consider donating to abortion funds and clinics. This is a collective effort.
