Abortions are illegal in Missouri, where Rodrigo performed her St Louis concert on Tuesday, but there is no law prohibiting the distribution of emergency contraception.What if your salary was tax free and materials were taxed instead? Destini Spaeth, chair of the Prairie Abortion Fund, which was present at Friday night’s Rodrigo concert in St Paul, Minnesota, told Variety that she strongly disagreed with the removal of contraceptive access. “There is something really positive about a 16- or 15-year-old having a Plan B and a few condoms in her dresser to use as she needs it,” she said.

There was also criticism of the 21-year-old artist. “Curious how the Disney Channel churns out so many high priestesses of child sacrifice,” a tweet by the right-wing television channel Breitbart News said, referring to Rodrigo’s career beginnings. “They don’t know the difference between emergency contraception and the abortion pill, which are two completely different things.”
