Former Disney Channel star Olivia Rodrigo is stirring up drama amongst the media and social users after her recent handouts at her Missouri concert.
As you probably heard by now, the ‘Good 4 U’ singer, who is on her GUTS World Tour, partnered with the Missouri Abortion Fund to give her fans free condoms and morning-after pills to support women’s reproductive rights.
As Rodrigo continues to take a stance, some are claiming she is “killing off her future fan base.”

A video shared on social media is calling out Olivia Rodrigo for handing out condoms and Plan B at her concerts, “that are mostly attended by young women and kids.”
This is something other social media users have mentioned as well. “I’m 25 and survived fine without taking it why are u giving this to 15-20-year-olds like it’s normal,” one social media user claimed, as another wrote, “She isn’t an artist. She’s an industry plant who is there to corrupt the youth.”
“This should be illegal,” another expressed.

The woman in the video shared by Students for Life of America went on to say, “The handouts also have stickers that say ‘Funding abortion, it’s a good idea right?’” seemingly making a reference to Rodrigo’s famous lyric “it’s a bad idea right?” The stickers also say “We can help you find abortion care.”
The social media user in the video then went on to claim “no one was expecting her to hand out Plan B like candy, encouraging young women and even kids to have s-x.”
“Who’s gonna tell @oliviarodrigo that she’s killing off her future fan base?” the caption of the video reads.
Olivia Rodrigo Creating ‘Great Customer Base For Planned Parenthood’?

The video goes on to claim that Olivia Rodrigo’s handouts are going to help Planned Parenthood’s customer base “because when Plan B doesn’t work out for girls, they turn to Planned Parenthood for abortion, which Olivia is so proudly funding.”
She then asked Olivia directly, “Do you really think it’s a good idea to fund the abortion industry that’s exploiting women and killing their children? Because I think that’s a bad idea, right?”
Olivia Rodrigo Slams Supreme Court

The latest handouts come 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 has previously slammed the Supreme Court justices when they voted to overturn Roe v. Wade, calling them out by name.
“So many women and so many girls are going to die because of this,” she said during one of her concerts. “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 s— about freedom.”
Before singing she added, “The song is for the justices: Samuel Alito, Clarence Thomas, Neil Gorsuch, Amy Coney Barrett, Brett Kavanaugh. We hate you! We hate you.”
Olivia Rodrigo Takes A Stance On Women’s Reproductive Rights

Olivia Rodrigo has promised to donate a portion of her concert tickets proceeds to her non-profit, Fund 4 Good.
“The Fund 4 Good works to support all women, girls and people seeking reproductive health freedom,” she said of her non-profit. “The fund will directly support community-based nonprofits that champion things like girls’ education, support reproductive rights and prevent gender-based violence.”
The Fund 4 Good nonprofit will also have tables set up with resources at every show on her GUTS World Tour.
“Its initiative is to raise awareness for certain groups that are championing women’s issues in America and all of the other territories I’m going to. I’m very excited, and I think it’s going to be a very fulfilling and hopefully productive experience,” Rodrigo told PEOPLE last year.
“Lots of the money is going to abortion funds to help provide some resources to people who are in need of reproductive healthcare,” she added.
