AceShowbiz - Madonna claims she was threatened with arrest over her saucy performances on her Blonde Ambition tour. Revealing she faced legal trouble three times over her raunchy moves while performing her hit track "Like A Virgin", the pop superstar shared a throwback picture from the 1990 and insisted her outrageous antics paved the way for female artists today.
"Police threatened to arrest me three times as I traveled around the world performing 'Like A Virgin' - during the 'Blonde Ambition' tour," the 63-year-old singer wrote in a post on Instagram. She went on to tell her followers she had several concerts in Rome canceled amid condemnation from the Vatican by adding, "The Vatican canceled all my shows in Rome! See how I paved the road for you b*****s??' "
Madonna's latest post came after she condemned the U.S. Supreme Court's recent ruling on abortion which overturned Roe v. Wade. The mother of 25-year-old Lourdes, 21-year-old Rocco, 16-year-old David and Mercy as well as 9-year-old Stella and Estere admitted she's scared for her daughters after the decision, which allows several U.S. states to move forward with legislation to ban or restrict abortion.
The "Papa Don't Preach" singer wrote on Instagram, "I want to say that I had a great time at the party after my Show for Pride at terminal 5, but I woke up to the terrifying news that Roe V Wade had been overturned and that. Legislation has decided that we no longer have rights as women over our bodies. This decision has plunged me and every other woman in this country into deep despair."
"Now the Supreme Court has decided that Women's rights are no longer constitutional rights. In fact we have less rights then a gun. I am scared For my daughters," the ex-wife of Guy Ritchie further noted. "I'm scared for all women in America. I am just plain scared."
"I Guess God put this on our shoulders right now because he knew that we were strong enough to bear the weight," she added. "Strong enough to FIGHT! Strong enough to overcome and so we Shall Overcome! We will find a way to make It A Federal Law to Protect Abortion Rights! Ladies are you ready……..,…… To Fight? (sic)"
The 1973 Roe v Wade battle centred around "Jane Roe", a pseudonym for Norma McCorvey. She was a single mother pregnant for the third time who wanted an abortion, and sued the Dallas attorney general Henry Wade over a Texas law that made it a crime to terminate a pregnancy except in cases of rape or incest, or when the mother's life was in danger, arguing the law infringed on her constitutional rights.
