Olivia Rodrigo's team says they will no longer let abortion funds hand out Plan B or condoms at shows after a photo taken at a concert in St. Louis went viral. The reason given to the National Network of Abortion Funds was that items would be too accessible to young girls. However, abortion fund teams will still be present on Rodrigo's tour, giving out buttons, stickers, beanies and resource pages. News coverage has often characterized the story as Olivia Rodrigo giving out emergency contraception rather than providing space for abortion funds to do so, and Justine Orlovsky-Schnitzler, director of engagement for Carolina Abortion Fund, says this should be corrected. “To be clear: We are extremely grateful Olivia Rodrigo is making such a public choice to bring abortion funds into her tour. It’s genuinely incredibly awesome," she says. "It’s just been difficult for us to get a foothold in the conversation, and remind folks that they can — and should! — be donating to abortion funds." Here's the full story from Jezebel.
