Abortion Funds at Olivia Rodrigo Concerts No Longer Allowed to Distribute Contraceptives: ‘Sexual Health Tools’ Are Seen as ‘Promiscuous’
Abortion organizations will no longer be distributing emergency contraceptives at Olivia Rodrigo's concerts per a decision by the singer's team.
Organizers tell Variety that after widespread media attention, local abortion funds were told Thursday afternoon that they were no longer allowed to hand out free emergency birth control pills and other reproductive health resources at the concerts. While the organization was explicitly prohibited from distributing Plan B, lubricant and condoms at Rodrigo’s concert Friday night, Spaeth says the Prairie Abortion Fund will still be out in full force disseminating informational materials as well as hats, buttons and stickers. Other organizations are finding different ways to reach the community, like the DC Abortion Fund, which tweeted ahead of Rodrigo’s July 20 concert in Washington D.C., “Little do these decision-makers know: We have no issue handing out Plan B, free of charge, on the public sidewalk outside the venue.”
