Oliva Rodrigo sparks bitter debate after handing out free PLAN B to teen concert-goers as part of new 'reproductive health freedom' initiative

Oliva Rodrigo made a very clear statement about her stance on reproductive rights after giving out free Plan Bs to teen concertgoers, sparking a wave of debate among social media users. 

One fan - only known as Kin - took to X, formerly Twitter, to post a picture of the Julie-brand morning after pill she received at the singer's concert in St Louis, Missouri.

The Grammy Award winner, 21, had partnered with the Missouri Abortion Fund - as well as a text line for pregnancy education called Right By You - to distribute emergency contraceptives and condoms at her show earlier this month.

Olivia launched her GUTS world tour in February and announced her Fund 4 Good initiative to 'support all women, girls and people seeking reproductive health freedom.'

In the original post on social media, which was shared earlier this week, Kin revealed a snapshot of the products she received alongside a caption that read: 'Free Plan B at Olivia Rodrigo in St. Louis tonight. Thank you Missouri Abortion Fund.'

Following the initiative, a spokesperson for the Missouri Abortion Fund told Today: 'This is just a normal part of what many abortion funds, including Missouri Abortion Fund, bring to our community tabling events.

'We want to ensure that Missourians have maximum control over their own reproductive health care.'

They continued: 'We appreciate Olivia lifting up abortion funds, especially as many funds have seen a decrease in donations since 2023.'  

The Plan B product usually costs between $40 and $50, according to Planned Parenthood.

The brand being handed out at the star's recent concert was Julie - which is sold over the counter at various pharmacies.

'Replacing the stigma and shame often associated with emergency contraception with access, exploration, and education is core to who we are, and we're thankful for artists like Olivia Rodrigo,' a Julie spokesperson told the outlet.

And dozens of fans flocked to the comments to share their support for the initiative.

Others said they had nothing but 'respect' for the singer and her team for the partnership as another wrote: 'She couldn't be cooler.'

But there were others who were more hesitant about the move as one wrote: 'This is beyond disturbing and disgusting.'

Another said: 'This is disgusting and vile.'

Someone else branded it as 'sick' as one simply questioned: 'What the f**k?'
