Popstar Olivia Rodrigo has been making headlines for handing out free Plan B and condoms during her ‘Guts’ world tour. She has also been vocal about her support for reproductive rights, announcing the launch of the Fund 4 Good and donating a portion of her tour proceeds to the National Network of Abortion Funds.
At her recent show in Missouri, Rodrigo provided contraceptive kits that included two Plan B pills, condoms, information on finding and funding abortion care in the United States, and a phone number to assist those seeking to terminate a pregnancy. This is particularly notable as Missouri has banned almost all abortions after Roe v. Wade was overturned.
Rodrigo has been teaming up with different abortion organizations to provide resources on reproductive health and abortion care at her shows. Fans have shared photos of the contraception kits on social media, featuring a slip of paper with a QR code that reads “Funding abortion?
