Singer Katy Perry, actress Jessica Chastain, reality TV personality and entrepreneur Kim Kardashian and other female celebrities used their own platforms to "cancel" this Independence Day on Monday, following the Supreme Court recent decree overturning Roe v. Wade, which had previously made abortion legal in the United States.

Perry, whose song "Firework" has become an unofficial anthem of Independence Day, posted her denunciation of women's rights in the United States using a new viral meme.

"'Baby you're a firework' is a 10 but women in the US have fewer rights than an actual sparkler smh," Perry penned on social media. Kim and Kourtney Kardashian, Kim's sister, shared the same meme on their Instagram Stories, which read: "4th of July has been cancelled due to a shortage of independence. Sincerely, Women." And Chastain expressed herself on social media with a quick message, followed by two middle fingers pointed upward.

"No matter what, we'll keep fighting for the day where all humans have the same rights, at least of their own person and body, have privacy to make their own choices and to love whom they love and live in peace."
