Rihanna joined the many women — celebrities and non-celebs alike — in weighing in on the news that Alabama has enacted the strictest law in the country on abortion, making it illegal even in the cases of rape and incest.

She noted, as many did on social media, that male lawmakers were the ones who passed the legislation, but her strongest words were for a woman, Republican Gov. Kay Ivey, who signed the bill into law.
