Shut up and sing: Olivia Rodrigo should stop promoting abortion

Shut up and sing: Olivia Rodrigo should stop promoting abortion

Olivia Rodrigo must quit her pro-abortion crusade during her GUTS world tour. 

Not only is abortion the termination of life, but it is also not her place as a pop star to distribute condoms, lubrication, and Plan B, i.e. morning after pills, to concert attendees. 

Recently, she was caught handing out these supplies at a concert in Missouri, a pro-life state with laws against abortion, according to Today News. The State of Missouri asserts that life begins at conception, and does not allow for executions except in the case of a medical emergency. Rodrigo’s largest listener demographic is teenage girls ultimately leading Rodrigo’s team to discontinue this practice after outrage from parents and politicians.

Imagine your teenage daughter coming home from a concert with these supplies in the back pocket of her jeans. By handing out contraceptives, Rodrigo is directly promoting the promiscuity of her main audience demographic, teenage girls which can be dangerous to these girls and create unnecessarily difficult situations for them. 

Additionally, Rodrigo donates proceeds from her tour to the National Network of Abortion Funds, with whom she is partnering for her latest initiative, “Fund 4 Good.” According to a TikTok video of Rodrigo’s, Fund 4 Good supports girls and women in many aspects, one of which is abortion.

“A portion of all the proceeds from the ticket sales of the GUTS world tour will go to ‘Fund 4 Good’, which I’m very excited about,” Rodrigo said in a TikTok video. “For the North American leg of the GUTS world tour, I’ll be partnering with the National Network of Abortion Funds to help those impacted by healthcare barriers in getting the reproductive care they deserve.”

The “reproductive care” she is referring to, of course, is abortion. 

Rodrigo performed in Detroit at the Little Caesars Arena on March 23. Gov. Gretchen Whitmer was ecstatic that Rodrigo chose to bring her show, and pro-abortion influence and donations, to Michigan. 

“Here in Michigan, we’re no stranger to fighting for what’s right,” Whitmer said in a video posted to X. “We couldn’t be happier to have you.”

The mistake made here by Whitmer is that abortion is not objectively “what’s right.” This is a hot subject in America, and there is no nationwide, or even state-wide, consensus. 

As much as Whitmer and Rodrigo want to ignore this fact, abortion does not abort something, but rather someone. A child is left, and a young human life is ended.

Throughout her 45-second video, Whitmer uses phrases from Rodrigo’s songs to push “the fundamental right to make informed decisions about your own bodies,” Whitmer said. 

“Like you, Michiganders have guts and are using their voices to drive change,” Whitmer said in the video.“We’ve slayed outdated vampire laws that threaten our autonomy.”

The bodies mainly affected by abortion are not the ones deciding to abort, but rather the aborted. There is not one body, but two. 

On March 25, Whitmer posted on X, “We agree: politicians have no place in our private healthcare decisions… I’ll never stop fighting for your reproductive freedoms.”

If politicians have no place in private healthcare decisions, why did she praise a 21-year-old pop star for becoming involved in private healthcare decisions a few days earlier? 

By handing out contraceptives at her concerts, Rodrigo is injecting herself into the debate and taking sides. Her job is to entertain, not be an abortion advocate for the left.
