The clip showcased Harris stating, “And we who believe in reproductive freedom will stop Donald Trump’s extreme abortion bans because we trust women to make decisions about their own body, and not have their government tell them what to do!” She added, “And when Congress passes a law to restore reproductive freedoms, as president of the United States, I will sign it into law.”
This is not the first time the “vampire” singer has actively discussed abortion rights and regulations. In 2022, the artist spoke out in Washington, D.C. during her concert about protecting the right to legal abortion. The pop star has spread awareness about access to reproductive health care by inventing Right by You. The foundation distributes “free emergency contraceptives, condoms and information about abortion to fans on her Guts world tour.”
On March 12, fans at Rodrigo’s St. Louis, Missouri concert were able to pick up a package containing boxes of Julie. Julie is “an emergency contraceptive that helps prevent pregnancy when taken within 72 hours of unprotected sex.” Additionally, the packages included cards with QR codes that link to abortion resources and the Missouri Abortion Fund.

While on the Guts tour, the “good 4 u” singer announced that a portion of the proceeds from all ticket sales would fund her program, Fund 4 Good. The foundation “is a global initiative committed to building an equitable and just future for women and girls through direct support of community based non-profits that champion girls’ education, support reproductive rights and prevent gender-based violence.” To add, during the European Guts World Tour, the artist supported Women Against Violence Europe (WAVE). The organization offers support, prevention services, experts, and survivor resources to those in need.
