Pick up plan B while listening to music? These concert-goers are praising a singer for giving out contraceptives.
Olivia Rodrigo fans have left her concerts with free emergency contraceptives. Packs containing condoms and two morning-after pills, a progestin-only contraceptive, were distributed at her Missouri concert this week. Abortion is illegal in the state. The 21-year-old is also promoting abortion rights by donating proceeds from her Guts World Tour to the National Network for Abortion Funds.
Fans thanked Rodrigo across social media for the initiative in Missouri. However, tour organisers have since decided to discontinue handing out the contraceptives, according to social media posts by both the Missouri and Carolina Abortion Funds. Last month Missouri senators voted against proposed amendments to the state's abortion law that would have given victims of rape or incest access to abortion. It's only available under medical exemptions in Missouri.
