Lady Gaga is putting her vocals to good use. The pop artist is presently on the North American leg of her Chromatica Ball tour, and she used a stop in Washington, D.C., on Monday night to speak out on abortion rights and gay marriage.

"I'd like to dedicate this song to every American lady." To every woman who is suddenly concerned about her body if she becomes pregnant. "I pray that our country will speak up, and we will not stop until it's right!" the 13-time Grammy winner said before breaking into a stripped-down piano rendition of her 2011 single "The Edge of Glory." (The song reached No. 3 on the Billboard Hot 100 and remained there for 24 weeks.)

Gaga, a vocal supporter of LGBTQ+ rights, also utilised a chunk of her set to express her concerns about the government interfering with gay marriage.

"This isn't the national anthem, but it's our national anthem!" she cried before singing her No. 1 hit "Born This Way." "They best not try to interfere with homosexual marriage in our nation!" she added.

Gaga's Chromatica Ball is set to tour the country, with the next stop at the MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey. Before flying overseas for a pair of concert appearances in Japan on September 3-4, the pop diva will make stops in Boston, Chicago, Arlington, and other cities.
