Halsey

Halsey wrote a powerful essay about motherhood and their experience with pregnancy loss and abortion after the Supreme Court's decision to overturn Roe v.

My abortion saved my life and gave way for my son to have his," Halsey wrote. I was desperate to end the pregnancy that was threatening my life.” “This is what some people who wish to see the end of abortion rights believe is right.” "But when Ender was born, the world went silent," Halsey wrote. “One of my miscarriages required ‘aftercare,’ a gentle way of saying that I would need an abortion, because my body could not terminate the pregnancy completely on its own and I would risk going into sepsis without medical intervention,” they continued. The musician, who uses she/they pronouns, penned the essay for Vogue on July 1 and candidly discussed the birth of her first child, Ender Ridley, and the health issues they struggled with leading up to their son’s birth.

In the wake of Roe v. Wade being overturned by the U.S. Supreme Court, Halsey is opening up about her own experience with abortion.

My abortion saved my life and gave way for my son to have his.” After my past experiences, I was prepared for the worst. She continued, “One of my miscarriages required ‘aftercare,’ a gentle way of saying that I would need an abortion, because my body could not terminate the pregnancy completely on its own and I would risk going into sepsis without medical intervention.

Halsey revealed that their abortion "saved my life" before they fell pregnant with son, Ender Ridley.

“I was prepared for the worst. I will hold my son in one arm, and fight with all my might with the other.” Every person deserves the right to choose when, if, and how they have this dangerous and life-altering experience.

The pop star was indeed a down-to-earth deity Saturday night at the Amp.

But as Halsey said during the show, “Perfection when it comes to art is f*cking boring.” And indeed, their light-on-their-feet, sincere on-stage personality made the show’s few snafus – a pants malfunction before “Be Kind” that took her off stage, an odd stop and restart during the closing number “I Am Not A Woman, I’m A God” – not only forgivable but feel like something even special, like Milwaukee was getting a unique show with its own particular quirks and memories. The only prop needed during the whole night was a blank canvas during “Be Kind” where Halsey proceeded to spend the song creating a (quite good!) painting while still singing. Even before her warning, the visuals had a horror vibe that was eye-grabbing – quite literally in the case of “Easier Than Lying,” featuring close-ups of an eye seemingly in the metal “Clockwork Orange” headgear. Halsey may have left the scaffolding and come down to earth after that – but the show never did, starting the first of its four “chapters”: The Capture, which could’ve also been re-titled “The Crowd Pleasers.” Indeed, after its subdued open, the pop star launched into some of their biggest hits, showing off their genre-defiant range – from the mood pop of “Castle” to the twangy tell-off “You Should Be Sad,” with the punky “Easier Than Lying” in between. It took a little work (even with a spotlight’s help), but eventually the crowd found Halsey on a scaffolding above the stage, singing the opening lament. So basically, it was a perfect Halsey performance, delivering precisely what’s made the talented “Bad At Love” singer revered: a night that couldn’t be simply or plainly defined except as 100 percent pure authentic Halsey.

Halsey has opened up about their three miscarriages — one of which necessitated medical intervention to help terminate the pregnancy — in an emotional new ...
