Back in May, Grammy-nominated musician and bisexual icon Phoebe Bridgers shared her abortion story on Twitter amid the attack on reproductive rights in the US. There’s a lot to be angry about in the current state of the world. And Phoebe expresses the rage that many of us feel, on the cover of Teen Vogue where she screams at the camera. 

In her cover interview, the musician addresses abortion, the #MeToo movement and misogyny within the music industry. Phoebe is using her voice and speaking out about her own experience with abortion in hopes of making life easier for others by reducing the stigma that surrounds it. She gave a shout-out to Planned Parenthood when recounting her own abortion saying “I was very held during it.”
