Kapanlagi.com - KLovers, when talking about Billie Eilish, you must immediately think of her unique voice and edgy style, right? Well, this time Billie is not just making headlines for her music, but also for her strong statement regarding the results of the 2024 US election, which is quite surprising.
Billie, who was recently known for her new song "Birds of a Feather," is actually one of Kamala Harris's vocal supporters and does not hesitate to voice her opinion on women's rights, especially regarding the issue of abortion.

Right on the day after Donald Trump was declared the winner, Wednesday morning (Nov 6), Billie immediately posted an unusual message on her Instagram Story, followed by 120 million fans. “This is a war against women,” she wrote briefly against a black background.
Although brief, her message quickly went viral and caught the attention of many people.
So, why does Billie feel the need to speak up? KLovers, the background is Trump’s statement, who has been known to support abortion bans in several US states. During the debate last September, Trump repeatedly avoided questions about whether he would implement a national abortion ban, although his representative, JD Vance, had stated that Trump might reject such a plan. But KLovers, Trump still supports the Supreme Court's decision allowing abortion bans in several states.
Even though Trump and his team managed to secure the presidency, and his party won in the Senate and could dominate the House of Representatives, there are actually seven states that chose to protect access to abortion, namely Arizona, Colorado, New York, Maryland, Missouri, Montana, and Nevada. On the other hand, Florida, South Dakota, and Nebraska chose to tighten access instead. The tug-of-war over policies is certainly creating more tension, right?!
2. Fully Supporting Kamala Harris on Various Occasions

If you are here and supporting me, I hope you also support women,” she said firmly while urging her fans to vote for Harris.
Wow, it seems like Billie is serious, KLovers! She is truly using her platform to voice what she considers important. What do you all think about this? Will Billie’s actions influence fans and netizens' views on women’s rights issues? If not now, when, KapanLagi?
