At the BET Awards Sunday night Lizzo announced she was donating $1 million to Planned Parenthood …and then sang a rousing rendition of her hit ‘About Damn Time.’
Then host Taraji P. Henson used that as a starting point for the Roe V.Wade and gun violence debate:
“It’s about damn time we step into our power,” Henson said. “It’s about damn time we talk about the fact that guns have more rights than a woman. It’s a sad day in America.”“A weapon that can take lives has more power than a woman who can give life if she chooses to.”
“Owning our truth and expressing ourselves freely and unapologetically in a world that tries to control and police our bodies, my body and our decisions,” she said. “My decision. F*** you, Supreme Court.”
“Today is a really, really dark day for women in the US. I’m just going to say that because I can’t bear to think about it any longer,” Eilish yelled from the stage.
