Madonna revealed her "deep despair" after the Supreme Court's overturning of Roe v. Wade which put an end to guaranteed abortion rights stateside.
The Grammy award-winning icon, 63, took to Instagram on Sunday to share her dismay at the ruling and admitted she is "scared" for the future of her four daughters, including eldest Lourdes Leon.
She wrote to her 18.3 million followers: "I woke up [Friday] 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 [than] a gun. I am scared for my daughters."
The Like a Pray singer continued: "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. 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!"
She concluded her lengthy post by asking: "Ladies are you ready to fight?"
As well as a pic with Lourdes, Madonna also shared a pic of herself posing with 16-year-old daughter Chifundo Mercy James Ciccone, whom she adopted from Malawi in 2009.
Her words were well received by her followers who took to the comments section of the post to praise her.
Among those responding was Julia Fox who simply commented with three emojis with love heart eyes.
Naomi Campbell also went down the emoji route, sharing a string of love hearts, as did Jerrod Blandino.
Steven Klein was also on board with the star and replied: "Let the fight begin.
"What does [it] say about freedom? Guns overrule woman's rights.
"The guns will be pointed at us soon."
Madonna is just one in a long line of stars using their platform to share their disgust at the ruling.
Green Day singer Billie Joe Armstrong blasted "f*** America" during a recent gig in London.
The 50-year-old told the audience: "F*** America. I’m f***ing renouncing my citizenship. I’m f***ing coming here.
"There’s just too much f***ing stupid in the world to go back to that miserable f***ing excuse for a country."
And Olivia Rodrigo also took to the stage at Glastonbury at the weekend and was joined by Lily Allen who dedicated her song F*** You to the Supreme Court Justices.
