Hollywood creatives and other celebrities continue to emote and lament the Supreme Court’s overturning of its 1972 abortion decision Roe v. Wade two days after the court handed down its decision in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization. 

All times eastern.

6:44 PM — Co-writer for the Borat sequel: “We’re pro-life” with our desire to dismember children for any reason, no matter how far along an unborn baby is.

6:41 PM — Julia Louis-Dreyfus (VeepSeinfeld) turns a post commemorating her own anniversary into a fundraising pitch for “pro-choice candidates”:

6:32 PM — Storm Reid, the star of Ava DuVernay’s film adaptation of A Wrinkle in Time, cries at the thought of precious babies interrupting her friend’s precious careers by taking their first breaths instead of having their necks snipped in utero. Via THR:

“I have friends who have been in situations where they’ve had to go to Planned Parenthood,” the Euphoria star said in a conversation with Ava DuVernay and Nina Shaw on Thursday afternoon in Ojai. “That right could possibly be taken away from the people I care about and people who don’t have the resources to be able to be a normal young human and make a mistake or whatever the case may be.

“The [possibility] they don’t have the ability to have a choice of what they do to their body is devastating,” Reid continued, beginning to cry onstage. “I hate calling myself an activist because I’m not on the ground doing the work activists do, but I try through my art to choose projects and create projects and even watch projects that are saying something. And just because something is not directly affecting me, the fact that it’s directly affecting someone else, [I choose] to do something.”

6:21 PM — Pop star Lorde also says FTSC at Glastonbury.

Transcript via Stereogum:

“Wanna hear a secret girls?” she said on-stage. “Your bodies were destined to be controlled and objectified since before you were born. That horror is your birthright. But here’s another secret. You possess strength. That wisdom is also your birthright. I ask you today to make exercising that wisdom your life’s work because everything depends on it. Fuck the Supreme Court.”

4:22 PM — Disney star Olivia Rodrigo and Lily Allen dedicate the song “Fuck You” to the Supreme Court at Glastonbury, one-upping Billy Eilish. Via THR:

“I’m devastated and terrified that so many women and so many girls are going to die because of this,” said Rodrigo. “I wanted to dedicate this next song to the five members of the Supreme Court who have showed us that at the end of the day, they truly don’t give a s— about freedom.”

“This song goes out to the justices Samuel Alito, Clarence Thomas, Neil Gorsuch, Amy Coney Barrett and Brett Kavanaugh. We hate you,” Rodrigo declared, while Allen flipped them off gracefully.

The two sang Allen’s 2009 single “F— You,” from her It’s Not Me, It’s You album.

3:40 PM — West Side Story actress Rita Moreno tells Variety she is “really nervous and frightened and horrified” by the Dobbs decision.

Moreno remembers when the Roe v. Wade decision became the law of the land: “I was jubilant.”

As “depressed” as she is by today’s ruling, Moreno also, like so many, isn’t completely surprised. “Hilary Clinton warned everybody about this,” she said. “I’m not shocked because I saw it coming but I’m stunned.”

Here’s that attention you ordered, Michael!
