Lily Allen and the right to abortion: «Not wanting a baby is reason enough. We don’t have to justify ourselves “

Singer Lily Allen, 37, also takes a stand against the US Supreme Court decision that effectively eliminated the right to abortion in the United States. She and she does it by revealing on Instagram that she had voluntary termination of pregnancy. Lily Allen doesn’t say when this happened, she doesn’t go into details. What is important to her, in fact, is to affirm that it is a righta decision that every woman can legitimately make, without the need to give justifications.

So he writes in a Story on his Instagram page: «I would like people to stop reporting examples of exceptional reasons to abort. Most people I know, myself included, simply she didn’t want to have a baby. And this is a reason enough! We don’t have to justify it. No more should be said and I believe all these examples just do the game of malevolent people“.

Lily Allen’s post on Instagram

Lily Allen, married to the actor David Harborhas two girls, Marnie8 years, ed Ethel9, born from the previous marriage with the English manufacturer Sam Cooper. It is not known when the decision to abort goes back. The realization of motherhood for her had a rather complicated pathbecause the two daughters arrived after several attempts failed painfully. In 2008, the singer announced a pregnancy with her then partner, musician Ed Simmons, of the Chemical Brothers group. But a miscarriage came to destroy the dream.

A very serious problem reappeared in 2010, when Lily Allen was already married to Sam Cooper. This time she lost the baby 6 months pregnant with very heavy repercussions on health, since he fell ill with septicemiaa blood infection that could be fatal to her. It was a tragedy from which it was not easy to recover. He said, “It’s hard to deal with. He will never get over it. ”

For the child in 2015 he wrote the song Something’s Not Rightused in the film’s soundtrack Pan – Journey to Neverland. The singer herself wrote it on Twitter: “Five years ago I was hospitalized, four days later I gave birth to a beautiful baby but he didn’t make it. It’s not like me to tell these things publicly, but I wrote this song thinking about him“.

Fortunately, he was later able to have two girls. Together with her second husband, married in 2020, would like to raise the family. There is no doubt that her experience makes her very sensitive to the issue of termination of pregnancy. Her Instagram post about her came after her performance at the Glastonbury Festival last Saturday with American singer Olivia Rodrigo. From the stage she did not miss the dispute to the decision of the Supreme Court, dedicating to the conservative judges who are part of it (Samuel Alito, Clarence Thomas, Neil Gorsuch, Amy Coney Barrett Brett Kavanaugh) one of his most famous songs, Fuck you.
