The singer has pledged to donate $1 from every ticket sale to go toward an organization that helps undocumented people get abortions.
, the American singer is explaining why she chose to share her story in such a public and moving way. Hearing the news of the leaked opinion felt"so gross and surreal," Bridgers told The Guardian, adding that,"the atmosphere in the hotel was so dark." As for what encouraged her to speak out, she said in her interview,"I've always found comfort in talking to people in passing – when someone's mom says: 'I had an abortion when I was a teen.
In doing so, Bridgers created quite a lot of conversation: her Tweet received 40,000 retweets and 264,000 likes. And though some people responded by saying things like,"Don't say it was easy for you to make that decision – it was clearly really emotional," she told The Guardian it wasn't an emotional experience for her at all. Though she felt"hormonally crazy," she said,"I don't think you should assign 'it tore me up' to me.
broke, Bridgers also noted how she would"always have access to abortion" in a way that not everyone does. "As a white, upper-middle-class woman from California, even if it were to be overturned, I will always have access. I have a friend who went to medical school – every time I need a doctor, I say, 'Do you have someone that you recommend?' So I would just go: 'Hey, where do I go for the thing?. The people with access will always have access." She continued,"What pisses me off is that we're not talking about me.
