Olivia Rodrigo Visits Planned Parenthood’s Offices to Talk Reproductive Rights: ‘Women & Girls Matter to Me’
Pop star Olivia Rodrigo visited Planned Parenthood's Los Angeles offices to discuss reproductive rights, part of her ongoing campaign ahead of her first Daisy Chain Fields festival. In clips shared by the organisation, she spoke with senior Planned Parenthood figures about its work, common misconceptions and the care patients can expect, saying she trusts "women and girls to make decisions about their own bodies and their own futures."
The visit follows Rodrigo's June announcement of Daisy Chain Fields, an all-women festival on 29 August in Irvine, California, featuring Chappell Roan, Doechii, Stevie Nicks and KATSEYE, with all proceeds going to organisations including Planned Parenthood. She has raised more than $2 million for reproductive rights through her Fund 4 Good during her Guts World Tour, won Planned Parenthood's 2025 Catalyst of Change award, and recently met legal experts at the Center for Reproductive Rights, alongside promoting her chart-topping third album and single "Drop Dead."

Steelman: both sides, in good faith
The strongest fair case each way — we don't pick a winner.
The case for
Advocates for reproductive rights argue that women and girls deserve autonomy over their bodies and futures, which requires access to comprehensive reproductive healthcare including contraception, screening services and abortion. They contend that Planned Parenthood provides essential medical services that enable equality and self-determination, and that individual circumstances are too complex and varied for blanket restrictions. Rodrigo's platform and fundraising efforts meaningfully expand access to these services for those who need them.
The case against
Those with concerns about abortion advocacy believe that human life deserves protection from conception, making abortion a fundamental moral question rather than a matter of personal choice alone. They argue that so-called reproductive rights advocacy often obscures the reality of what abortion involves, and maintain that resources should prioritise supporting pregnant women and babies instead. Some further object to celebrities using their considerable influence to advance divisive political positions on issues where many citizens hold sincere moral convictions.
Explained simply
Planned Parenthood is a US non-profit organisation that provides reproductive and sexual health services, including contraception, pregnancy care and abortion where it is legal. Reproductive rights refers to people’s ability to make decisions about pregnancy and related healthcare; access to abortion and other services varies across the United States.
Olivia Rodrigo is an American singer whose Fund 4 Good supports organisations working on reproductive rights. The planned Daisy Chain Fields festival in Irvine, California, is intended to raise money for several groups, including Planned Parenthood, and its line-up includes women artists and groups.
The issue matters because laws and access to reproductive healthcare differ between US states, shaping the choices available to patients. Planned Parenthood is among the organisations involved in providing care and public information, while legal and political debates continue over how that care should be regulated.
