Billie Eilish slammed the Texas abortion law on Saturday night while she was on the stage of Austin City Limits 2021. Eilish made her comments amid her performance at the ACL Fest Stage at Zilker Park.

Billie Eilish on the Texas Abortion Law

During the event, Elish said that she almost wanted to cancel her appearance on Austin City Limits 2021. The singer contended that her reason for not wanting to show herself at the event was because of the bill that scraps abortion.

It can be recalled that the Texas abortion law enacted in September prevents women who are six weeks pregnant - or a fetal heartbeat was detected from the child in the womb - to engage in abortion. It was also known that the law allows civilians to sue abortion providers who violate the law and help women obtain an abortion.

Despite announcing that Eilish almost called it quits with the event on Saturday, the "Ocean Eyes" singer went on to share her realizations with the crowd.

"I remembered that it's you guys [Texans] are the f- victims, and you deserve everything in the world," Eilish said in front of the crowd.

As crowds continued to cheer and shout when Eilish made her comments about her stand on the Texas abortion law, the singer was seen raising her middle finger shouting, "my body my f-choice."

Billie Eilish is not the only musician who voiced out their thoughts on the Texas Abortion law. Artists like P!nk, Barbara Streisand, and Lauren Jauregui, took their time to express their thoughts on the issue, Billboard reported.

Earlier in September, P!nk took to social media to show her solidarity with Texans as the six-weeks abortion ban was enacted in the state. The "Just Give Me a Reason" singer pointed out that Texas' Senate Bill 8 will be the blueprint towards the abortion bans across the U.S.

Streisand also expressed her anguish on the law, asking if people had "gone backwards in time," mentioning how wearing face masks "violate[s] the bodies" while "anti-choice abortion laws are not."

Meanwhile, Jauregui said that six weeks is not enough time for a woman to decide for herself and her family.

Texas Abortion Law

Billie Eilish's comments came a day after a federal judge considered whether to block the Texas abortion law, as the Biden administration challenges Senate Bill 8, The Guardian reported.

Justice Department Attorney Brian Netter argued on the court on Friday that Texas knew that states may not ban abortions at six weeks; that is why the officials utilized an "unprecedented scheme of vigilante justice" that aims to scare abortion providers and other sectors that can help women exercise their rights.

However, Will Thompson from the Texas Attorney General's Office argued that Senate Bill 8 was not a "vigilante scheme," contending that the law uses "normal, lawful, process" of justice in the state.

U.S. District Judge Robert Pittman heard the said case, and it was still unclear how soon the judge will decide on the matter.
