Fans reportedly walked out<\/a> of a Halsey concert in Phoenix last week following the singer’s strong comments in support of abortion and against the Supreme Court’s Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization<\/em>\u00a0decision overturning Roe v. Wade<\/em>. It is unclear how many fans left the show shortly around midnight on June 24-25.<\/p>\n

Halsey is on a tour entitled “Love and Power,” and during the concert, which took place on the eve of the Dobbs<\/em> decision’s release, the singer said, “This has been happening for a very long f***ing time. And I know that we want to sit at home and we want to wait for some revolutionary to come along and to make a difference, but no one is f***ing coming. Nobody is f***ing coming. It is up to every single one of you, myself, every single person in this building to do our f***ing part to protect bodily autonomy and bodily integrity. To protect medical privacy.”<\/p>\n

Then Halsey led the audience<\/a> in a “My body, my choice” chant.<\/p>\n

Halsey went on to say,\u00a0“Here in Arizona<\/a>, you guys got to promise me that you\u2019re gonna do that work so that the person to the left of you and to the right of you has [abortion rights] for the rest of their lives. If you don\u2019t like it, you can go home right now \u2014 I don\u2019t care.”<\/p>\n

Twitter users who were at the show tweeted video clips that included a giant screen showing images of women marching for the right to kill their undelivered babies, as well as information about the Dobbs<\/em> decision, calling it a “catastrophic attack on bodily autonomy” that will “encourage more dangerous legislation, impacting vulnerable communities the most.”<\/p>\n

Halsey also mentioned that she needed an abortion to save her life, however, based on her words in a July 1 essay for Vogue<\/a>, the procedure she underwent was not an abortion legally speaking.\u00a0She wrote, “One of my miscarriages required ‘aftercare,’ a gentle way of saying that I would need an abortion, because my body could not terminate the pregnancy completely on its own and I would risk going into sepsis without medical intervention. During this procedure, I cried. I was afraid for myself and I was helpless. I was desperate to end the pregnancy that was threatening my life.”<\/p>\n

Halsey had suffered an incomplete miscarriage and needed medical intervention to complete it because she was at risk of infection. This is not an abortion by the legal definition because the intent of the procedure was not<\/em> to kill her baby. No pro-life law bans surgery or treatment for incomplete miscarriage.<\/p>\n

A person’s valid right to bodily autonomy<\/a> does not allow them to deliberately cause harm or kill another innocent<\/em> human being. Women have the right to their bodies and their bodies must be respected and protected. Children in the womb are not part<\/em> of the woman’s body. They are their own individual persons who also deserve<\/em> respect and protection.<\/p>\n
