The 19-year-old US pop star Olivia Rodrigo has passionately and angrily castigated the Supreme Court decision to overturn Roe v Wade, and allow individual US states to ban access to abortions.
Appearing before a crowd of thousands on the Other stage, she said: “I’m devastated and terrified. So many women and so many girls are going to die because of this. 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 shit about freedom. The song is for the justices: Samuel Alito, Clarence Thomas, Neil Gorsuch, Amy Coney Barrett, Brett Kavanaugh. We hate you! We hate you.”
