The young American singer Olivia Rodrigo allegedly distributed morning-after pills and condoms in the middle of a concert during her visit to Missouri on Tuesday, to demonstrate against the ban on the right to abortion in the American state.
“It’s brutal here in Missouri, but we are here for abortion access and distributing Plan B with (the hotline) Text Right By You,” the abortion fund wrote from Missouri, who joined forces with the composer, in a publication on The Independent.
On Tuesday, fans of the 21-year-old singer received a free emergency contraception kit, including condoms, boxes of Plan B morning-after pills and emergency hotline numbers to contact, during her concert in St. Louis.
One of them, who shared everything on X in turn, was delighted with the initiative, while the photo of the kit had reached more than 10.8 million views on the platform.
In the comments, a second Internet user reported having obtained the same type of kit during Olivia Rodrigo’s visit to Charlotte, North Carolina, which prevents abortion after 12 weeks of pregnancy, except in cases of rape or medical condition , where the limit would be 20 and 24 weeks respectively, CNN previously reported.
But Missouri is among nearly two dozen U.S. states that have chosen to completely ban abortion, except for a few exceptions for medical emergencies, after the U.S. Supreme Court ruled to overturn Roe v. . Wade, who considered the medical act as a constitutional right until June 2022.
In the weeks that followed, the young singer became vocal on the subject by dedicating her performance of the song f*** you to members of the Supreme Court, Samuel Alito, Clarence Thomas, Neil Gorsuch, Amy Coney Barrett and Brett Kavanaugh, during the Glastonbury festival, which was held from June 22 to 26, 2022 in England, according to the British media.
“I am devastated and terrified, and so many women and girls are going to die because of this. I wanted to dedicate this next song to the five members of the Supreme Court who showed us that at the end of the day, they don’t care about freedom,” she told the crowd, according to The Independent.
