Planned Parenthood killed 434,450 babies last year and made headlines doing it.
Pop star Olivia Rodrigo built an entire festival to help fund that same operation.
Ten million dollars from one sold out show is heading somewhere her fans might not expect.
Olivia Rodrigo's Daisy Chain Fields Splits Profits Between Ten Abortion-Friendly Groups
Olivia Rodrigo wrapped her first Daisy Chain Fields festival at Great Park in Irvine on Aug. 29.
Chappell Roan, Doechii, Bikini Kill, and Stevie Nicks all played the sold out show.
Every ticket sold, every dollar of net proceeds, is heading to 10 nonprofit organizations.
Planned Parenthood is one of them.
So is the Center for Reproductive Rights, an outfit that exists to overturn state abortion laws.
So is the National Institute for Reproductive Health, which funds efforts to expand abortion access nationwide.
So is the National Women's Law Center, which lists abortion access as one of its core goals.
Four of the 10 organizations are dedicated abortion advocates by their own description.
The other six work on causes like diaper drives and maternal health research that have nothing to do with abortion.
That distinction never made it into a single headline about the festival.
Rodrigo isn't just donating quietly and moving on, either.
Her festival's social media accounts posted a dance video set to her song "My Way," with text blaming President Trump for nearly 30 Planned Parenthood clinics closing after he signed a law cutting the organization's funding.
Rodrigo didn't hide any of this.
She spent the weeks before the festival visiting Planned Parenthood's Los Angeles office in person.
She sat down with the organization's California president and toured the facility on camera.
"Women should be able to be in control of their own bodies," Rodrigo told a Planned Parenthood staffer in one clip.
She never mentioned the baby girls who don't get a vote in that decision.
Planned Parenthood didn't just get a donation from Rodrigo.
It got a 23-year-old with nearly 66 million monthly Spotify listeners as an unpaid spokeswoman.
Charlotte Lozier Institute Says Rodrigo's Abortion Pill Claims Don't Add Up
Rodrigo also used her platform to call the abortion pill mifepristone very safe.
Doctors who actually deliver babies for a living disagree.
The American Association of Pro-Life Obstetricians and Gynecologists has studied the drug for years.
"Claims supporting the safety of mifepristone are based on remarkably weak evidence," AAPLOG CEO Dr. Christina Francis said.
The Charlotte Lozier Institute backs her up with the numbers.
Their research ties the pill to rising emergency room visits and documented cases of hemorrhage and retained fetal tissue.
None of that made it into Rodrigo's Instagram clips.
Her fans got a pop star's assurance instead of an OB-GYN's warning label.
Rodrigo isn't new to this fight.
Planned Parenthood handed her its Catalyst of Change award back in 2025.
She's spent the year since touring clinics, filming testimonials, and building an entire festival around the cause.
The strategy is not an accident.
Millions of teenage girls are still forming their views on pregnancy and motherhood, and the message isn't coming from a stranger with a clipboard.
It's coming from an artist already sitting in their earbuds every single day.
Rodrigo isn't preaching from a podium.
She's dancing in a music video while a caption tells fans which lawmakers to blame for defunding Planned Parenthood.
That reaches a 16-year-old faster than any op-ed ever will.
The Charlotte Lozier Institute's own analysis of Planned Parenthood's annual report found something else buried in the numbers – prenatal care, miscarriage care, and adoption referrals combined made up less than 3 percent of the organization's services.
That's the operation Rodrigo handed a global concert stage and a share of $10 million.
Her label, her festival, and her fan base are massive.
Rodrigo built her career singing about heartbreak that teenage girls understand instantly.
She owes those same girls the other side of the mifepristone story before she hands them a microphone at her next show.
