She had the right to make choices about her body and her life because of Roe. She's not jumping on the Roe issue, she's LIVED the Roe issue.

Like someone said, she did the Heart Foundation stuff because it was personal to her because of her dad (and Lindsey's dad and brother... which is likely part of why HE supported her efforts in that domain). This issue is personal to her also. As someone else said, HIV was personal for Madonna, as it was or for Elton John and others. Celebs don't need to weigh in on every issue. THey're more credible when they have an actual connection to the cause they speak out about.

Vanessa Carlton disagrees with you; she says artists need to speak out on all the issues.

So because Stevie didn't post "Black Lives Matter," justice isn't personal to Stevie? But it was to countless artists and entertainers.
