00:00It's absolutely disgusting.

00:02I'm feeling outraged and sad and depleted and scared.

00:07Stay mad.

00:13To everyone that's upset about Roe vs.

00:15Wade being overturned, stay mad.

00:20They're going to do it next with gay marriage.

00:23They're going to do it next.

00:25They're going to make it illegal.

00:26Stay mad.

00:28Get in the streets, do whatever you have to do,

00:31but stay mad.

00:33It's going to kill and endanger millions of women

00:36who are going to end up getting backstreet abortions,

00:38dangerous backstreet abortions, and end up dying from it.

00:43And if this was actually about saving lives,

00:46if anyone cared about saving lives,

00:48then after any of the mass shootings

00:52that have happened here in the United States,

00:54we would have gun control.

00:56It's not about saving lives.

00:57It's about controlling a woman's body

00:59and controlling a woman's right to choose.

01:01It's absolutely fucking disgusting.

01:04I'm on with this really beautiful essay

01:06about her abortion that she got when she was really young

01:09and about how if she hadn't have had it,

01:12she wouldn't have become the person that she'd become

01:14and I wouldn't exist.

01:15Obviously, you can understand from an individual perspective

01:21how difficult it is to live in a country

01:25where you have a constant, unrelenting, violent...

01:34I mean, tied against you, an onslaught as a woman.

01:41I live in America that is a country

01:43that is built on the idea of people as property.

01:46And so having an expectation that this country

01:49would then give people access

01:52to their own personhood, agency, and bodies

01:55is like, yeah, it's not hard to imagine how we get here.

01:59I think what we have to do though is to engage.

02:02I think that the only bright thing that we can do

02:09to make this into a positive thing

02:13is for it to be a completely new step in the movement.

02:16I'm feeling outraged and sad and depleted and scared

02:21and hopeful, not that you asked me,

02:23but I'm feeling hopeful because I know that I'm not alone

02:28and I know that we are strongest when we stand together

02:31and when we work together and we have a lot of work to do.

02:36So we're gonna need each other.

02:37I'm pledging 500K from my tour

02:40to Planned Parenthood and abortion funds.

02:43This is just the beginning of the action

02:45that I hope to take to help people have safe planning

02:48for families and on their bodies.

02:51Why should I care if someone wants to have a baby or not?

02:53Their body is not my business.

02:55Why should you care if someone wants to get married or not?

02:58That's not your business.

03:00If you don't wanna see it, close your eye.
