The British singer – who appeared on stage with teenage Olivia Rodrigo as a surprise guest in Glastonbury to perform the hit song F *** You, in response to the US Supreme Court ruling to end the country’s constitutional right to abortion – made the comments. in a statement on Instagram. After moving, many people have shared experiences of extreme situations and reasons for abortion, such as ectopic pregnancies or when rape victims become pregnant. But Allen, a mother of two, said women who justify abortions play “in the hands of the bad guys”. Image: Allen came with American teen Olivia Rodrigo as a surprise guest during her performance in Glastonbury “I wish people would stop posting examples of great reasons for abortions,” he wrote. “Most people I know, including myself, just did not want to have a baby. AND THAT IS ENOUGH REASON! WE SHOULD NOT JUSTIFY IT. “It should not be said, and I think all these examples are just playing into the hands of the bad guys.” Allen, 37, teamed up with 19-year-old Rodrigo on the Other Stage at the Glastonbury Festival on Saturday, the day after a Supreme Court ruling overturned the 1973 Roe v Wade landmark case. Rodrigo said it was “the biggest dream come true” to appear with Allen, but that she had mixed feelings about “a broken heart for what happened in America yesterday”. He went on to say that “so many women and so many girls will die because of it”, before presenting Allen’s song and dedicating it to “five members of the Supreme Court who showed us that at the end of the day you do not really give as *** for freedom” . Allen is married to Stranger Things and Black Widow star David Harbor, 47, and has two daughters, Ethel and Marnie, with her ex-husband Sam Cooper. Before her children were born, she suffered a catastrophic miscarriage when she was 7 months pregnant.

Billie Eilish also spoke out against the controversial decision in Glastonbury during her historic front-page title as the youngest solo singer, hours after the decision was announced. “Today is a really, really dark day for women in the United States,” she said. “I’ll just say that, as I can no longer bear to think about it right now.” Demonstrations took place across the United Kingdom following the decision to abolish the constitutional right to abortion in the United States, which is expected to lead to a ban on abortion in about half of the country.

Corden has hosted The Late Late Show in the US for eight years, but earlier this year announced his decision to resign in 2023. Speaking in London on Monday, in the first of a series of special recordings for The Late Late, he made comparisons between the legal systems of the US and the UK. “It was here in 1967 that David Steele, a Member of Parliament, introduced a bill that legalized abortion in the United Kingdom,” he said. “Now, if that ever changed, it would take at least 326 elected officials to agree to that. It would then take another 400 appointees to the House of Lords to pass this bill before it becomes law. “So these are almost 800 people who all have to agree before the fundamental rights of half the population in the UK are compromised.”
