The songwriter shared her view on the questions and issues regarding women’s rights and abortion rights. She also expressed concern regarding the government’s role.
Phoebe Bridgers is a very popular name in the American and also international music industry.
The singer recently discussed how her pro-choice attitude and campaigning for abortion rights have been received by fans on the MSNBC news show The Beat With Ari Melber.
In the interview, which aired on Sunday night (July 12), Melber asked Bridgers if she had ever witnessed audience members leave her performances when she brought up the subject of abortion. She said she’s only seen it happen “A couple of times” and that she frequently feels like she’s “preaching to the choir” because her fan base is primarily liberal.
She said, “It’s always validating, in some way.’ She continued by adding, “It’s nice to know that a message is getting to somebody that disagrees with me.” In light of Roe v. Wade, the historic 1973 decision that made abortion legal on a federal level, being overruled by the US Supreme Court in June, Melber then questions if she thinks young people are aware of the difficulties surrounding access to abortion.
She said, “I think people are terrified.” She continued, “We have a dollar from each ticket [on Bridgers’ tour] going to the Mariposa Fund, which is an abortion fund based in Santa Fe. There’s all kinds of things that we can do, but I hate that the responsibility has been thrown on these grassroots organizations instead of the government.”
Access to and care for abortion have frequently been the focus of Bridger’s charitable activities. She participated in a virtual performance benefitting Planned Parenthood in October 2020. She also co-wrote the anti-abortion song “Miracle Of Life” with Bright Eyes at this period, reiterating her pro-choice stance.
A year later, she recorded a rendition of Bo Burnham’s “That Funny Feeling” for charity, with all sales going to Texas-based organizations that promote abortion rights. Bridgers led the audience in chanting “fuck the Supreme Court” during a recent performance at Glastonbury.
The American singer-songwriter is presently on her “Reunion Tour,” which will take her to Lollapalooza Paris this weekend after she performs in the Czech Republic on Thursday night (July 14).
