Olivia Rodrigo distributes free condoms, emergency contraceptive pills during 'Guts' concert
Olivia Rodrigo offered free condoms and emergency contraceptive pills during the Missouri stop of her Guts World Tour.
Concertgoers shared some snaps of what they got during her recently concluded show, which included two boxes of emergency contraceptives as well as stickers and cards with QR codes that link to some information on the Missouri Abortion Fund as well as abortion care.
"Funding abortion? It's a good idea, right?" the text on the packages read.
The Hollywood Reporter reported that the Filipino-American singer also donated a portion of the proceeds from her ticket sales to the National Network of Abortion Funds and her new initiative Fund 4 Good, which is committed to "building an equitable and just future for all women, girls, and people seeking reproductive health freedom."
According to NBC News, abortion is illegal in Missouri following the overturn of Roe v. Wade in 2022, which ended almost 50 years of constitutional right to abortion. It's banned "except to save the life of the pregnant person."
In the same year, Olivia took the Glastonbury stage and performed F—k You with Lily Allen, dedicating the song to the justices who voted in favor of the reversal of the 1973 decision.
"I'm devastated and terrified. So many women and so many girls are going to die because of this," she said at the time. "I wanted to dedicate this next song to the five members of the Supreme Court who have showed us that, at the end of the day, they truly don’t give a sh*t about freedom."
"The song is for the justices: Samuel Alito, Clarence Thomas, Neil Gorsuch, Amy Coney Barrett, Brett Kavanaugh. We hate you! We hate you," she continued.
The Guts World Tour is Olivia's second concert tour following her Sour Tour in 2021. Featuring songs from her second studio album, Guts, the tour kicked off last Feb. 23 in Palm Springs and will conclude on Aug. 17 in Inglewood, California.
