Musician John Prine is donating proceeds from an auction to the Alabama ACLU, among numerous responses from pop artists to the state's new anti-abortion law.

, a popular location for filming because of incentives the state offers to bring lucrative shooting projects there.

Whelan Prine said her husband, who is still on the mend from an illness that prompted him to cancel an appearance recently at the 50th anniversary New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival, is teaming with Americana singer-songwriter Margo Price on Prine’s 1984 song “Unwed Fathers,” a look at men’s often ignored or dismissed role in unplanned pregnancies. Price is pregnant with her third child and due to deliver this month.

The Prine-Price duet version will be paired on the new single with an updated performance by Prine and “a bunch of musician friends” of his 1971 song “Your Flag Decal Won’t Get You Into Heaven Anymore,” which he wrote after being discharged from the U.S. Army during the height of the Vietnam War. A release date has not been scheduled.“This is not a ball game. It’s people lives,” Whelan Prine continued.

Pop-R&B singer-songwriter John Legend tweeted, “These statehouses are waging all-out war on women and their right to control their reproductive decisions. This is awful.” Rihanna posted a collage with the faces of the 25 white male Alabama congressmen who voted for the measure, and also referenced the state’s female governor who signed it into law:Governor Kay Ivey...SHAME ON YOU!!!!
