Pop star Olivia Rodrigo had St. Louis fans cheering after teaming up with the Missouri Abortion Fund to offer free Plan B and condoms at her 'GUTS World Tour' show, a show of protest against anti-choice conservatives.

This initiative by Rodrigo was particularly significant given Missouri's stringent abortion laws, which are among the most restrictive in the nation.


The state's abortion bans offer minimal exemptions, primarily limited to cases of medical emergencies. Just last month, Republican lawmakers in Missouri moved to block proposed exemptions for instances of rape and incest, further tightening the state's grip on reproductive rights.

The Missouri Abortion Fund, in collaboration with the concert, provided emergency contraception and informational leaflets, reinforcing the significance of protecting abortion rights.

In a nod to Rodrigo's track "Bad Idea Right?" from her sophomore album "Guts," the informational flyers emphasized the importance of funding abortion, echoing the star's commitment to reproductive freedom.

Many have praised the singer for using her platform to act against efforts to restrict reproductive freedom.




Rodrigo's advocacy for reproductive rights extends beyond her concert initiatives.

In 2022, she publicly condemned the Supreme Court's decision to overturn Roe v. Wade, dedicating a powerful cover of Lily Allen's 2009 hit "F**k You"—a track initially influenced by the prevailing ultra-conservative political parties in both the U.S. and the U.K. during that period—to the Justices responsible for the repeal.

The performance, delivered at the Glastonbury Music Festival, underscored Rodrigo's unwavering stance against efforts to restrict reproductive freedom, resonating with audiences worldwide and becoming one of the most potent viral moments immediately after the ruling.

Let's be honest: the average consumer has reached the point of having to choose between basic necessities, sometimes having to skip out on groceries because they needed gas to get to work or a new bottle of shampoo.

In an economy like this, it's hard to imagine any "fun" spending, like buying a new book, trying out new skincare, or dare we say, paying for an experience, like seeing The Nutcracker ballet at over the holidays or buying Christmas presents.

Erika Kirk Has Ultimate Freudian Slip While Honoring Student With 'Charlie Kirk Courage Award'

Erika Kirk was mocked online after she had an epic Freudian slip while honoring Utah Valley University student Caleb Chilcutt with the Charlie Kirk Courage Award at Turning Point USA's AmericaFest over the weekend and misspoke while comparing Chilcutt to her late husband, far-right activist Charlie Kirk.

The late Kirk, who was assassinated at UVU in September, was a virulent white supremacist who aligned with the Christian right and advocated for Christian nationalism, promoting a nativist, fundamentalist Christian view of society. All the while, he openly attacked LGBTQ+ rights, backed the white genocide conspiracy theory, and was a major figure in the MAGA movement.
