Phoebe Bridgers opened up about her own experience getting an abortion and shared a link to The Cut’s list of abortion funds. Halsey also shared resources, writing: “I cannot stress enough the implications of this moment in history. This is a cruel attack on our fundamental right to choose if and when to have a child.”
