Fil-Am pop star Olivia Rodrigo slams U.S. Supreme Court conservatives for abortion ruling
Filipino American pop star Olivia Rodrigo and UK musician Lily Allen sang Allen’s 2009 song “F— You’ at the Glastonbury festival, dedicating it to the conservative U.S. Supreme Court justices who overturned the 1973 Roe v. Wade case, which protected a woman’s choice to have an abortion.
A clip of the concert posted to social media shows Rodrigo on stage with Allen. Before starting the song, Rodrigo says, “This song goes out to the justices Samuel Alito, Clarence Thomas, Neil Gorsuch, Amy Coney Barrett and Brett Kavanaugh. We hate you.”
Rodrigo didn’t hold back before the festival crowd.
“I’m devastated and terrified that so many women and so many girls are going to die because of this,” she said. “I wanted to dedicate this next song to the five members of the Supreme Court who have showed us that at the end of the day, they truly don’t give a s— about freedom.”
