Olivia Rodrigo Backs 10 Rights Groups at Aug. 29 Festival, Calls Abortion Bans Pro-Control

Summary
Olivia Rodrigo used a new discussion with the Center for Reproductive Rights to argue abortion bans are “pro-control,” not “pro-life,” ahead of her Aug. 29 Daisy Chain Fields Festival in Irvine, California.
The conversation with CEO Nancy Northup and legal experts focused on the fallout from the 2022 Dobbs ruling, high maternal mortality in restrictive states and the Amanda Zurawski case.
10 nonprofit partners, including the Center for Reproductive Rights, will appear on-site at the one-day festival, which will pair an all-female lineup with fundraising and awareness efforts for women’s rights.
Rodrigo has made reproductive rights a recurring cause since 2022, later launching a fund tied to Guts tour ticket proceeds and drawing backlash in Missouri over contraceptive kits distributed at shows.
