- In criticizing the leaked Supreme Court Roe v. Wade draft opinion, Phoebe Bridgers said she had an abortion last year.
- "I went to Planned Parenthood where they gave me the abortion pill. It was easy. Everyone deserves that kind of access," she said.
- The leaked draft decision appears to show the Supreme Court is poised to overturn the landmark 1973 decision.
Singer Phoebe Bridgers shared that she had an abortion last year while criticizing the leaked Supreme Court opinion that appears to show the court is poised to overturn Roe v. Wade.
"I had an abortion in October of last year while I was on tour," the singer wrote in an Instagram story posted Tuesday.
"I went to Planned Parenthood where they gave me the abortion pill. It was easy," she continued.
"Everyone deserves that kind of access," Bridgers concluded, before including a list of abortion funds to donate to.
In the draft decision, Justice Samuel Alito called the landmark decision in Roe v. Wade "egregiously wrong from the start." The 1973 decision enshrined the right to an abortion.
"We hold that Roe and Casey must be overruled," reads the draft opinion, labeled the "Opinion of the Court," per Politico.
The court has confirmed the leaked draft is real, but it said the decision isn't final. Chief Justice John Roberts said in a Tuesday statement that he has directed the court marshal to launch an investigation into the source of the leak.
