Olivia Rodrigo made morning-after pills available to fans during their show in St. Louis, Missouri, in the United States, as part of their “Fund 4 Good” initiative.
As seen on social media, free emergency contraceptives, condoms and stickers with resources to access abortion care were made available at the stadium where the singer performed.
The contraceptives were provided by Right By You, a local organization that helps young people access reproductive care.
The Missouri Abortion Fund partnered with Right By You to help distribute the products, according to a video the organization posted on its Instagram page that showed the table they set up with the various products they distributed.
Rodrigo shared on Instagram on Tuesday that a portion of the proceeds from his St. Louis show will benefit both organizations.
She also announced Wednesday that a portion of ticket sales from that day's show in Omaha would benefit Nebraska Abortion Resource and the Iowa Abortion Access Fund as part of the ongoing initiative.
The effort to provide reproductive resources throughout Rodrigo's journey is part of Fund 4 Good, which is a “global initiative committed to building an equitable and just future for all women, girls, and people seeking freedom in reproductive health.” , according to the foundation.
A portion of the proceeds from all ticket sales from the “Guts” tour will benefit Fund 4 Good, a LiveNation press release announced in September.
A CNN contacted Rodrigo for further comment.
Abortion restrictions in states like Missouri and Nebraska result from the overturning of Roe v. Wade. Wade by the Supreme Court in June 2022, holding that there is no longer a federal constitutional right to abortion.
It was the Supreme Court's most important decision in decades and transformed the landscape of women's reproductive health in the US.
Rodrigo was performing at the British music festival Glastonbury the same weekend the decision was announced in 2022 and told the audience: “I am devastated and scared that so many women and so many girls will die because of this.”
The singer’s “Guts” tour across the United States, Canada and Europe began in February and runs until August 14th.
