Olivia Rodrigo Uses Concerts To Fight For Reproductive Rights
During her recent show in St. Louis, Missouri, Rodrigo made headlines by giving away parting gifts in collaboration with the Missouri Abortion Fund. Fans were divided over the gesture, with some expressing gratitude for the condoms and Plan B, while others criticized the singer for her choice of giveaways.
The distribution of condoms and Plan B came after Missouri “began enforcing its trigger ban, which bans all abortions except to save the life of the pregnant person, following the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision to overturn Roe v. Wade in the case Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization,” according to Center for Reproductive Rights.
Rodrigo collaborated with the Missouri Abortion Fund to take a stand on reproductive rights, using her platform to raise awareness and support for the cause. She has also launched her own non-profit, Fund 4 Good.
