Ahead of Rihanna\u2019s highly anticipated halftime show, she teased that a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailymail.co.uk\/tvshowbiz\/article-11743893\/How-Rihanna-hinted-pregnancy-teasing-surprise-guest-pre-Super-Bowl-interview.html\">\u201csurprise guest\u201d<\/a> would be joining her onstage. Fans guessed an appearance from rapper and partner, A$AP Rocky, or frequent collaborator, Drake; none expected it to be her unborn baby. <\/p>\n<p>The opening shot of the nationally televised performance showed Rihanna in a zipped-down red jumpsuit, accentuating a baby bump which she rubbed while singing. The Twittersphere lit up with speculation, and reps of the pop star soon <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hollywoodreporter.com\/news\/music-news\/rihanna-pregnant-rep-confirms-super-bowl-halftime-show-1235323383\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">confirmed<\/a> the rumors of her second pregnancy with A$AP Rocky.<\/p>\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Rihanna showcasing her pregnancy during the Super Bowl halftime is the most pro-life message one can send.<\/p>\n<p>a woman + her baby + succeeding at the highest possible level in the music industry. ICONIC. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/IAhcvjlF69\">pic.twitter.com\/IAhcvjlF69<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Anna Freakin\u2019 Lulis (@annamlulis) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/annamlulis\/status\/1624962870738919424?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">February 13, 2023<\/a>  <\/p>\n<p>Even more unexpected than the announcement was the pro-life message that Rihanna\u2019s performance reinforced. It is possible to have a successful career and have a baby, contrary to the popular narrative fueled by the abortion lobby that women cannot achieve full \u201csuccess\u201d and be mothers at the same time.<\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately, the key factor that determined Rihanna\u2019s performance as a story of empowerment is the fact that she <em>wants<\/em> her baby. In any similar situation where the child is unwanted, pro-abortion advocates call upon a woman\u2019s made-up \u201cright to choose\u201d to end her preborn baby\u2019s life in exchange for the mother\u2019s desired lifestyle.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Despite the pop star\u2019s history of being <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/rihanna\/status\/1129042058914742273?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1129042058914742273%7Ctwgr%5Eac8b2f59d8219ac19f45a788d05ca920fdf68e77%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&#038;ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.usatoday.com%2Fstory%2Flife%2Fpeople%2F2019%2F05%2F15%2Fbusy-philipps-counters-anti-abortion-laws-lady-gaga-others-speak-out%2F3687928002%2F\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">pro-abortion<\/a>, her performance and career are a testament to a woman\u2019s ability to embrace motherhood and achieve career success. A platinum-selling artist whose music continues to dominate the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.billboard.com\/artist\/rihanna\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">charts<\/a> after more than a decade, a survivor of domestic abuse, and the founder of one of the biggest beauty brands in the world, Rihanna is nothing short of accomplished, and the birth of her first child in May 2022 did not halt her success. Rather, Rihanna\u2019s career debunks the notion that abortion is necessary for women to achieve success in their professions.<\/p>\n<p>Rihanna\u2019s surprise baby announcement stole the show Sunday night, distracting from the fact that the actual performance left something to be wanted. Fans noticed iconic songs such as \u201cDisturbia\u201d or \u201cDon\u2019t Stop the Music\u201d were missing. I wished the showstopping factor was not limited to the platforms levitating <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnn.com\/2023\/02\/13\/entertainment\/rihanna-floating-stages\/index.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">60 feet<\/a> above the field, and the <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/90S0R0KIN\/status\/1624957780615479296?s=20&#038;t=2VfhgQxG9JHiwFSfXN8_Nw\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">memes<\/a> that proliferated from the fleets of dancers running in unison in white outerwear were to be expected. <\/p>\n<p>Still, the halftime show was devoid of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=O9Fv4lIFZ7A\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">satanic rituals<\/a> a la the Grammys, so I\u2019ll count my wins where I can. While our headliner may not have brought the same energy as past halftime performances (I\u2019m looking at you, <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/romansempir3\/status\/1621177117194199046?s=20&#038;t=2VfhgQxG9JHiwFSfXN8_Nw\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Left Shark<\/a>), knowing Rihanna is expecting makes her halftime performance that much more impressive.<\/p>\n<p> Elise McCue is a former intern at The Federalist and student majoring in multimedia journalism and professional and technical writing.
