Lizzo offers $1 million to abortion charities after Roe v. Wade ruling

Lizzo will donate $500,000 of her tour proceeds to Planned Parenthood and the National Network of Abortion Funds.
At least 21 states currently have laws or constitutional changes that try to outlaw abortion.
States can now impose restrictions on what a woman can do with her body.

Lizzo decided to take action after the U.S. Supreme Court decided on Friday to overturn Roe v. Wade, the 1973 ruling that guaranteed a woman’s legal right to an abortion.

This autumn, the “Grrrls” singer will start her tour in support of her new album Special, and she has promised to contribute $500,000 of the proceeds to Planned Parenthood and the National Network of Abortion Funds (NNAF).

She wrote, “Live Nation agreed to match— to make it 1 MILLION dollars.”

In a subsequent tweet, she said, “The most important thing is action & loud voices,” To keep providing assistance to those who are most hurt by this restriction, “@PPFA @AbortionFunds & organizations like them— will need funding to continue offering services to people who are most harmed by this ban.”

States can now impose restrictions on what a woman can do with her body, and it is anticipated that, going forward, abortion will be prohibited in at least 16 states. At least 21 states currently have laws or constitutional changes that try to outlaw abortion.

“remove financial and logistical barriers to abortion access by centering people who have abortions and organizing at the intersections of racial, economic, and reproductive justice,” according to their website.

Grrrls, published last week, initially introduced a term for cerebral palsy called spastic paralysis in the first verse. Fans asked to change the song to alternative lyrics, saying “I was surprised” and “I was disappointed”.

Given the star, he released a new version on Monday night without “harmful words”. “I never want to spread offensive language,” he said on social media. “As an obese woman in America, I understand that many hurtful things (in my case, intentional or not) can be harsh.
