Camila Cabello hails therapy, calls for ‘reproductive justice’ in powerful speech

Los Angeles, May 6 (IANS): Singer Camila Cabello was honoured at Variety’s Power of Women event, presented by Lifetime, for her work with the Movement Voter Fund to launch the Healing Justice Project.
Alongside fellow honourees Drew Barrymore, Kim Cattrall, Queen Latifah and Amanda Seyfried, Cabello took to the white carpet ahead of the event and used the opportunity to talk about the ongoing debate over abortion rights – it was revealed earlier this week that the United States Supreme Court has privately voted to overturn Roe v Wade, striking down the case that has guaranteed basic abortion rights in the US since 1973, reports ‘Variety’. “It’s atrocious,” said Cabello. “Obviously it’s going to affect poor women the most, because women that have resources – even like me – will be able to handle things if they’re needed. The idea of having one moment transform the course of a woman’s life is tragic. And it’s tragic (that) the people affected are not having a say.”
