Tennessee-based rock band Bully joined many other musicians in voicing their opinion about the recent overturn of the 1973 landmark abortion case Roe v. Wade. According to Brooklyn Vegan, the group projected resources regarding abortion access on screen during their set at the Nashville Pride Festival.
The screen’s message read: “OUR BAND NAME COULD BE HERE BUT INSTEAD HERE ARE SOME CRUCIAL RESOURCES – IF YOU KNOW ANYBODY WHO NEEDS HELP SEEKING AN ABORTION CALL 1-800-230-7526 OR VISIT ABORTIONFINDER.ORG.” A QR code was also present on screen during their performance.

Alicia Bognanno of Bully commented on Roe v. Wade during the performance, “It feels good to be in a safe space after yesterday. We got to look out for each other because we’re all we got. The Supreme Court sure as hell isn’t.”
The band went on to perform a couple of covers including Sinead O’Connor’s “Nothing Compares 2 U” and McLusky’s “Lightsabre Cocksucking Blues” as well as a plethora of originals.
