21-year-old Olivia Rodrigo, a pop singer and former Disney star, is promoting abortion and handing out morning-after pills during her concert tour.

Rodrigo’s popularity among Generation Z and beyond can’t be overstated. Audio from her music has been all over TikTok and Instagram; Spotify reports that she has 58.8 million monthly listeners; and she has received glowing coverage in publications such as Vogue and the New Yorker, which in one headline dubbed her “the voice of Generation Z.”

Members of Gen Z are about 12 to 27 years old, making them Rodrigo’s prime demographic. The pop star rose to fame through Disney, starring in Disney Channel shows from 2016 to 2022. Since releasing her own music, Rodrigo has been named “woman of the year” and “entertainer of the year,” and she has won three Grammy awards.

Her most famous song, “drivers license,” has more than 2 billion streams on Spotify. I’ll confess to being a fan of Rodrigo’s music, though I’ve always been too old to relate to her ballads about high school relationships and finally getting a driver’s license. But all of this is what makes her outspoken support for abortion so concerning. Rodrigo’s fans are impressionable teens and tweens, and she’s telling these young girls that they need abortion to be empowered.

Any pro-life young women who have the misfortune of being Rodrigo fans will want to avoid her concerts, a portion of whose proceeds will be going to support abortion through Rodrigo’s Fund 4 Good, “a global initiative committed to building an equitable and just future for all women, girls and people seeking reproductive health freedom.”

On tour for her latest album, GUTS, Rodrigo also gave out morning-after pills and condoms to concertgoers in St. Louis this week. In a play on her song “bad idea right?” a flier paired with the emergency contraceptives reads, “Funding abortion? It’s a good idea, right?”

Wrong, actually. But Rodrigo seems to have picked up the mainstream media perspective on abortion, which she shared in her 2023 Vogue feature.

“The reproductive rights rollback, she says, feels ‘actually insane—I think it’s sickening,’” reports writer Jia Tolentino. “We talk about how many girls in her generation, and in my daughter’s, and in mine, will be ‘forced to give birth if they get pregnant,’ she says. ‘It is so scary. It’s such a terrifying reality.’”

Somehow this very same paragraph ends with the anecdote: “As we pay for our records, unfurl our umbrellas, and walk a couple of blocks in the rain to Café Mogador, she asks me about what it’s like being a working mother. ‘I’m so excited to experience motherhood one of these days. I think about it all the time.’”

Rodrigo and many other women who accept the mainstream narrative on abortion are struggling with this duality: Simultaneously fighting for what they see as a fundamental aspect of women’s rights while deeply desiring the thing that pregnancy produces — children and motherhood — for themselves.

We pro-lifers can try to point out this cognitive dissonance as we see it. Meanwhile, we can simply agree: Supporting abortion? It’s a bad idea, right?
