Paul Mescal's girlfriend Phoebe Bridgers opens up about recent abortion

Paul Mescal's girlfriend Phoebe Bridgers has opened up about her recent abortion.

Taking to both Instagram and Twitter, the Grammy nominated singer revealed she had the abortion while on tour in 2021.

The 27-year-old posted: “I had an abortion in October of last year while I was on tour.

“I went to planned parenthood where they gave me the abortion pill. It was easy.

"Everyone deserves that kind of access.

“Here’s a big list of places you can donate to right now.”

She shared a link to Donate to an Abortion Fund Right Now that includes a state-by-state breakdown of abortion rights organisations in the US.

The battle over abortion rights in American has been reignited this week as a leaked document suggested the US Supreme Court could move to abolish the constitutional right to an abortion.

One user replying to Phoebe's Twitter post said: "I'm so proud of you for speaking up about this.

"It’s so important and it gets rid of the stigma around it, making others feel better about sharing their own stories, which takes bravery.

“And I'm so proud of the bravery with which you shared this."

Another said: "I am so proud of you for doing what was best for you.

"Thank you for all your support so other women have the right to an abortion."

A third added: "I’ve never heard a Phoebe Bridgers song but this tweet made me want to.

"Thank you for sharing your story. Abortions are so difficult to talk about."

Meanwhile, Phoebe and her Kildare boyfriend made their debut as a couple at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art and Film Gala in 2021 and went Instagram official weeks later.

The singer even allegedly referred to Paul as her fiancé last weekend as the pair partied at Coachella.
