Feminist Buzzkills

Full episode transcript HERE.

First off, we love you and know you are feeling lost, afraid and targeted. You are not alone. 

We’re gonna be real with you: we had a whole post-election breakdown planned with results and analysis and blah blah FUCK ALL THAT. Instead, we wanted to sit down with you, unscripted and real, offering a pod that holds space for your feelings and give you a start to regroup. 

AAF OGs Kristin Hady (Programs Director and resident Extremist Whisperer) and Cara McLane (Director of Communications and AAF Adventure Planner), PLUS the brilliant journalist Jessica Valenti. 

We’re leaning into our raw honesty in this moment, finding the hope, and sharing actions you can take RIGHT NOW that will keep your head out of the doomscroll and into community so we can help each other out in these terrifying times.

Jessica Valenti is our North Star! She’s the author of the NYT bestseller Abortion: Our Bodies, Their Lies, and the Truths We Use to Win and of the acclaimed newsletter Abortion, Every Day. Jessica breaks down what these election results mean for our rights in her classic real AF style–plus, she offers us an important reminder of why we fight and why hope is very much alive.

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

ATTENTION BUZZKILLIANS: It’s our last podcast before the possible end of Democracy, so we (plus a couple of special guests) are dropping our two cents on why y’all should be FLEXING THAT VOTER MUSCLE! Got the right to vote? GO EXERCISE THAT SHI! 

AND OBVI, rage levels spiked this week as we stumbled across something called the “Aryan Nation Freedom Fest.” It’s exactly what it sounds like – PLOT TWIST: Wait till you hear how it is connected to anti-abortion maternity homes. In more exciting news – An Arizona abortion provider has found a way to legally provide abortion care to patients suffering miscarriages outside of the state’s 15-week abortion ban, and we are THRILLED to deliver this glimmer of joy and hope to your earholes.

GUEST ROLL CALL:

We got to kiki with actor, activist and philanthropist Torrey DeVitto! The womb warrior and One Tree Hill/Chicago Med/Vampire Diaries star chats with us on being LOUD AF about her activism and values, clapping back to the haters as a soon-to-be-parent for abortion access, her latest IG live series “Stream of Consciousness,” and telling her abortion story in People Magazine. PLUS! Renee Bracey Sherman, Co-Author of Liberating Abortion and Founder/Executive Director of We Testify is BACK with the Buzzkills to spill all the guts on her extraordinary, must-read book that deep dives into the history of abortion through re-centering the experiences of the Black and Brown folks who have had abortions and the leaders of the Reproductive Justice movement who continue to pave the path to bodily autonomy. 

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

** AAF wants to remind listeners: If you are undocumented, you are legally entitled to abortion care, as long as it complies with the abortion laws of whatever state you are in.**

AAF is looking for NY-based folks to volunteer and march in the Halloween day parade with us! Interested? Email [email protected] for more deets!

Abortion pill sniffing dogs and bodily autonomy snatching AGs? It must be spooky season! All Hallow’s Eve is nigh so let us commence with the witchy descriptions of this week’s episode! Moji and Lizz have an alarming story about drug dogs being used to target medication abortion by mail that will make the hair on your arms stand at attention. PLUS, THREE aggro Attorneys General clearly have ZERO hobbies —instead, they’re in federal court, claiming abortion pills are ruining their states because they stop teens from pumping the next generation of workers!!! 

PLUS WE GOT GUESTS!! Hilarious comedian and influencer, Che Guerrero, has created a huge online community by sharing his experience of living Undocumented in the U.S. and drops in to spill the tea on saving his Abuela’s life as a child, intersectionality, and the power of leaning into your identity and story! AND broadening the conversation to touch on the extra challenges undocumented folks experience trying to access abortion, red nesbitt, joins the chat about their work at the Mariposa Fund, an abortion fund that supports undocumented people seeking abortion care in the U.S.

Too many tricks and not enough treats y’all.  

Times are heavy, but knowledge is power. We gotchu.

SO MANY MISOGYNISTS, SO LITTLE TIME! This week, we’re spilling tea on how Ron DeSATAN is preparing for November’s election by sending his doorknocking harassholes (AKA Florida cops) to scare the shit out of people who signed the abortion ballot petition. PLUS, this week laid out a Smorgasbord of Smug online and we highlight and drag the most foul of the white guy “abortion bans don’t kill people” takes. AND OMG! We’re debuting a new game this episode, muahaha!

PLUS WE’VE GOT GUESTS!! Legal genius, and Strict Scrutiny podcast co-host, Kate Shaw, digs into the nooks and crannies of Project 2025 and drops her 411 on what this dystopian nightmare would mean for abortion access. We’re asking all the Q’s and Kate’s delivering all the A’s. 

Serotonin boost? Hilarious comedian, writer, and actor Zainab Johnson’s got you! The Upload and Hijabs Off (Amazon Prime) star blabs with the Buzzkills about her latest comedy special, relishing in Muslim joy, and why she decided to kick chasing perfectionism to the curb. 

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

Hey there, fabulous Buzzkillians! Welcome to PART THREE of our Netroots Nation series! Remember when the AAF gang went to Baltimore earlier this summer to yap about abortion at THE coolest conference for progressive activists, AKA Netroots Nation?! The Buzzkills did three podcasts, and this is the last one in the series. It is a great episode but bittersweet because Moji got visited by La ‘Rona fairy and had to stay home, but filling in is AAF Programs Director, the incomparable Kristin Hady! 

Being at Netroots meant we got awesome guests to talk to us live! Who’s Buzzkillin’ with us this week? Well, word on the block is you can be PRO-FAITH AND PRO-ABORTION! *GASP* Here to preach that good, feminist word are TWO dope guests and inspiring faith leaders whose organizations are fighting their cheeks off to evangelize the Lord AND reproductive justice while welcoming others who are interested in doing the same with open arms. Reverend Terry Williams, Faith Organizer from Faith Choice Ohio, AND the Strategic Communications Director from Catholics for Choice, Ashley Wilson, drop all of their “Pro-Faith and Pro-Abobo 101” knowledge AND deliver the reassurance that religious freedom does indeed mean exercising the freedom to believe in abortion rights! 

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

ENCORE ALERT! The Feminist Buzzkills are signing off for a two week end-of-summer break! But, no need to fear – we’re leaving y’all with some extra brain juice to help you prep for the November elections. We’re dropping an ENCORE POD EPISODE of when we brought in an all-star team of experts to break down SCOTUS’ EMTALA ruling to keep you company while we’re offline. It went a little something like this…

The Supreme Court FINALLY made up its mind on the fate of the Emergency Medical and Labor Act (EMTALA) earlier this summer, and your Feminist Buzzkills HAVE FACTS, FEELINGS, AND ANSWERS ABOUT IT!

What in the abobo hell even was the Idaho v. United States case? Why is this NOT a win and NOT enough? How did the clown justices react? How does this affect other places, like Texas? And WTF happens next?! WE CALLED IN FOR BACKUP TO ANSWER ALL YOUR QUESTIONS! 

Your Buzzkills rallied together a dope lineup of EXPERTS to break it all down with us and dissect this nondecision-decision from all angles. GUEST ROLL CALL: Attorney Stephanie Toti, who successfully argued the Whole Woman’s Health v. Hellerstedt case before the Supreme Court; Idaho reproductive rights activist Jen Jackson Quintano; Idaho OB-GYN and abortion provider Dr. Caitlin Gustafson; and Ryan Hamilton, a Texas activist who has been vocal about his and his wife's experience in accessing emergency abortion care. You don’t wanna miss this one. 

This episode is a good reminder of how important it is to center abortion at the ballot box. 

Knowledge is power, y’all. We gotchu.

How do your Feminist Buzzkills pregame for a week of yapping to politicians at the DNC about the importance of medication abortion? By dropping an ENCORE PRESENTATION of our Mifepristone SCOTUS ruling episode to remind you what is at stake in this election. 

MIFEPRISTONE IS HERE TO STAY… For Now. Back in June, the Supreme Court ruled UNANIMOUSLY in favor of  keeping the abortion pill mifepristone available, but only because even these woman-haters had to rule that the monsters who brought this case had ZERO skin in the game. This episode covers all the anti-abobo scheming that went into get this case to SCOTUS and why the results of this election could mean a new and very scary outcome when anti abortion forces circle back and try again.  AND.THEY.WILL. 

Here to fill your earholes with answers to our burning questions like, “Is this all part of a bigger conservative plan to outlaw abortion?” and “Why did the Supreme Court even take this case to begin with?,” is the one and only, author, legal expert and our favorite Law Dork, Chris Geidner!

This episode is a good reminder of how important it is to center abortion at the ballot box.

Welcome to PART TWO of the Feminist Buzzkills LIVE taping from Netroots Nation, AKA the largest gathering of progressive writers, activists, and organizers in America! In part two of this mini-series, Lizz and AAF Programs Director, Kristin Hady, get to share with you more of our shenanigans from earlier this month with a V SPECIAL GUEST!

Ever heard of a little thing called Chevron deference? Most peeps didn’t hear about it until recently, when the Supreme Cucks threw it on the chopping block. So, what in the fallopian tube is Chevron deference? How does the ixnay of Chevron affect abortion access? And what can WE ALL DO ABOUT IT? Kristin and I brought in an expert who was down to clown with us in a room full of Netrooters to answer all of these questions and more. Sarah Lipton-Lubet, President of Take Back the Court Foundation, is here to decode it all for us with a LIVE AUDIENCE!

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