Halsey encouraged fans to take a stance on reproductive rights, delivering a powerful speech about the need to be active during political turmoil.In early May, leaked documents showed that the US Supreme Court voted privately to overturn Roe v.

Wade, a 1973 case that made abortion legal on a federal level. That decision was officially ruled into place on Friday (June 24), meaning US states will be able to set their own laws regarding the legality of abortions.As Politico reports, 23 states are expected to make abortion illegal – at the time of writing, five already have, and a further eight are in the process of finalising anti-abortion laws.“This has been happening for a very long fucking time,” Halsey said to approximately 20,000 concertgoers at the Ak-Chin Pavilion in Phoenix (where they performed yesterday, June 26). “I know that we want to sit at home and we want to wait for some revolutionary to come along, to make a difference, but no one is fucking coming.“Nobody is fucking coming.

It is up to every single one of you, myself, every single person in this building to do our fucking part to protect bodily autonomy and bodily integrity.

To protect medical privacy.”Receiving an outpouring of cheers from their crowd, Halsey continued with a chant, yelling “my body” and spurring the audience to respond with “my choice”.Watch footage from the speech below:pic.twitter.com/hkf1DpGrps— kihyunoi (@sofia_vids) June 25, 2022Prior to the show, Halsey took to social media to share their take on the overturning of Roe v Wade.
