Alabama abortion ban: Travis Scott will donate merch profits to Planned Parenthood

Travis Scott told the crowd at the Hangout Fest in Gulf Shores, Alabama on Friday night that profits from his merch sales at the festival will go to Planned Parenthood, Pitchfork reports. The 1975 played Hangout Fest as well, where frontman Matty Healy made a speech out abortion ban: “I don’t believe it’s about the preservation of life, it’s about controlling women. It’s not about that — you can hide behind that as much as you want and push your Christian narrative that sex is something to be ashamed of and therefore forcing women to have birth is some kind of — I don’t know — some good punishment for their moral indiscretion. You are a disgrace! You are not men of god! You are simply misogynistic wankers”, Stereogum reports.
