BitchStory - Stories of badass women that history "forgot"

If you follow the feminist movement, you're probably aware of some of the disagreements within the ranks of feminists.  This is not uncommon in any movement - ie: the black rights movement had both The Black Panthers and Martin Luther King Jr.

Anyway, it can be overwhelming when you don't know how to be a good feminist or where to place your trust within the movement. Hint: with the people most unfairly impacted by healthcare restrictions.  

In this episode, we talk a bit about the Supreme Court and how it works, and then we discuss how "Reproductive Justice" became the preferred naming for the abortion rights movement. 

So get a glass of wine, and let's go to Bitch school and learn how to be better feminists!

We’ve covered lady spies before and we can’t get enough. Women during the Revolution used some pretty brilliant tactics to pass coded information. We have pockets and we are taking notes in case, ya know. the women of the US revolt. We will also do a study of sentence structure of the Declaration of Independence. (Hint: COMMA)

In this episode we do a deep dive into Roe v. Wade and its significance to women's rights as a whole. With Roe v. Wade in danger of being overturned, abortion rights advocates are working as I type this to insure that women have the right to govern their own body.  A couple days after we recorded, Louisiana advanced HB813, a bill which could criminalize abortions from the moment of conception on, thereby giving humans rights to a fertilized egg. Essentially, a fertilized egg has more rights than the woman who houses it. If a bill like this is successful, it could also impact the availability of certain kinds of birth control, and because it is a slippery slope, it could affect the availability of all birth control.  Our approach for this episode is our usual, straightforward, unapologetic way. We are pissed and we are concerned. We hope this educates, motivates, and maybe even inspires.  Please vote in your LOCAL elections. Local politics are really where the juice is, and your voice is needed! here's the notes and sources:
