NEWS OF THE WEEK: Lizzo and Live Nation to donate $1 million to abortion rights groups following Roe v. Wade ruling
On Friday, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled to overturn Roe v. Wade, the 1973 case that protected a woman's constitutional right to have an abortion. This decision will now allow individual U.S. states to make abortion illegal. The Truth Hurts singer responded over the weekend by announcing that she will be donating $500,000 (£408,000) from her upcoming tour to abortion rights groups and Live Nation executives are matching her donation. She then urged followers to go to lizzolovesyou.com to donate, sign the Bans Off My Body petition and sign up to volunteer".
