Olivia Rodrigo's Reproductive Health Initiative at Concert Sparks Controversy
Abortion rights groups will no longer distribute free emergency contraceptives and condoms at Olivia Rodrigo's Guts World Tour concerts following a request from the singer's management, citing the presence of children at the shows. Despite this, National Network of Abortion Funds groups will still have a presence through Rodrigo’s Fund 4 Good initiative, with some local groups expressing disappointment at the decision. The move comes after the dispersion of Plan B and condoms at a St. Louis concert sparked nationwide attention due to Missouri’s near-total abortion ban, with some groups emphasizing the importance of providing reproductive health resources to young people.
