Feminist Buzzkills

A Woman’s Body Is Smarter Than the Doctor With Dr. Shelley Sella & Chanel Ali


Listen Later

Your favorite Buzzkills are BACK with a pod that is gonna knock your dang socks off. Lizz and Moji break down healthcare carpetbagger Dr. Oz’s latest EMTALA bullshit. The Grifter-In-Chief’s administration made it clear this week that they’re coming full force for a 2022 guidance that mandated hospitals provide EMERGENCY abortions. It’s giving “Make America Flatline Again.” PLUS: we dive into fresh, steaming hot pile of Texas trash as cops in the Drone Star State scoured over 80,000 license plates to track down ONE abortion patient. Spoiler alert: the story is fishmarket funky. OH, and shoutout to Illinois for delivering some GOOD abobo news this week! Ahh... an abortion win, we’ve missed you, old friend.

 

GUEST ROLL CALL!

 

The incredible Dr. Shelley Sella, OB-GYN and the first woman to openly provide abortions later in pregnancy, joins us to gab about her new book, Beyond Limits: Stories of Third-Trimester Abortion Care, and show some big love with us as we celebrate the legacy, humanity and contributions of her friend and colleague, Dr. George Tiller.

 

Who’s delivering the much-needed serotonin boost this week? Chanel Ali—comedian, actor, and writer, and former AAF staff writer is in the house! Chanel kikis with us about how she uses humor to make lemonade… even when life has handed you some particularly fucked up lemons. Plus, she may or may not be spilling the frijoles about her upcoming SOLO SHOW!

 

Scared? Got Questions about the continued assault on your reproductive rights? THE FBK LINES ARE OPEN! Just call or text (201) 574-7402, leave your questions or concerns, and Lizz and Moji will pick a few to address on the pod!

 

Times are heavy, but knowledge is power, y’all. We gotchu.
