The perfect abortion news podcast doesn’t exi- oh wait, yes she does! While Lizz is out being professionally hilarious and making the people of Duluth laugh their asses off, Marie and Moji are holding it down and delivering y’all the latest in this week’s abobo-related BS, sprinkled with some good shit! What the fuck is up with the latest state abortion bans that have gone into effect this week? Which wack, misogynistic, trashy anti-abortion goblins are on the top of our shitlist? And why do uteri love New York? As always, the Feminist Buzzkills have all the answers and more on what’s been going down in these reproductive streets. 

This week, we’re bringing you two kick ass womb warriors who we got the pleasure of gabbing it up with! Calla Hales, the executive director of A Preferred Women’s Health Center in Raleigh, North Carolina, hopped in the mix to give us a glimpse into the terrifying, delusional extremists protesting outside their doors, what keeps her hopeful in these garbage times, and to remind us of how amazing, strong and dope clinic staff are. PLUS, queer icon, musician, writer and performance artist Bitch is in the house! Listen to us gush over their new album and blab about getting back into touring, where they were when they heard Roe was murdered, and more! 

Times are heavy, but we got you.

Your favorite Feminist Buzzkills are BACK and PISSED OFF. Nothing says, “Welcome back from your much needed vacay!” like a whole stinking pile of steaming hot misogynistic BS that’s been gushing out of South Carolina and Rhode Island all week. What other states decided to sprinkle more patriarchal nonsense on the anti-abortion shit sundae this week? Which states are making historic legislative wins for abobo protection? As always, the Buzzkills have all the answers and more on what’s been going down in these reproductive streets. 

This episode’s partners-in-raising-hell are Ashley Underwood and Judy Gold! Ashley Underwood, director of Equity Forward, is schooling us on the fake-ass abortion clinics (AKA anti-abortion centers) plaguing the country, exposing what these frauds are doing with your taxdollars, and dropping the knowledge on what YOU can do about it. PLUS, comedy goddess, Judy Gold, is not only only making us laugh are nips off but she’s raging with us on what “equality” looks like, the abundance of misogyny in the comedy world, and more! The world is heavy, but we got you.

Welcome to Episode One of Operation Save Abortion! Thank you for committing to listening to this pod series and for making a commitment to learn more, act more, fund more, and raise hell more in this fight for abortion and bodily autonomy. This is NOT a pod series you listen to while cleaning out your closet. It’s about listening with friends and utilizing the activity and discussion guide designed for each episode to deepen your knowledge. The goal is helping you discover which part of abortion activism is right for you, so you can help build and grow community. 

In crafting this project, we were supported by over 60 partner organizations, and each of the five episodes features amazing experts from the reproductive health, rights, and justice movements who show us what is possible if we learn about the opportunities available and are given a road map to show up and show out. 

Episode 1: "Let's Talk About Abortion and Reproductive Justice." was intentionally chosen as the premiere episode. It is pretty much your “Reproductive Justice 101” crash course. Abortion activism is just one part of this intersectional movement, so this first episode is designed to help ground your experience throughout this series and overall abortion advocacy in a Reproductive Justice Framework, making sure to center those most effected by these harmful laws, and by following Black, Brown and Indigenous leadership as we fight for bodily autonomy. 

LET’S WORK!

Welcome to Episode Two of Operation Save Abortion! Thanks for committing to this pod series and for making a commitment to learn more, act more, fund more, and raise hell more in this fight for abortion and bodily autonomy. This is NOT a pod series you listen to while cleaning out your closet. It’s about listening with friends and utilizing the activity and discussion guide designed for each episode to deepen your knowledge. The goal is helping you discover which part of abortion activism is right for you, so you can help build and grow community. 

Each of the five episodes features amazing experts from the reproductive health, rights, and justice movements.

If you haven’t listened to Episode 1 already, please do so first! It’s your “Reproductive Justice 101” crash course. Abortion activism is just one part of this intersectional movement, so this first episode is designed to help ground your experience throughout this series and overall abortion advocacy in a Reproductive Justice Framework, making sure to center those most most effected by these harmful laws, and by following Black, Brown and Indigenous leadership as we fight for bodily autonomy. 

Episode 2 is all about clinic advocacy. These providers are doing the work day in and day out to keep abortion access going. Without our love and appreciation, they’ll burn out. What does support look like? From financially supporting them with donations to buying items off of their Amazon Wishlists to escorting patients, helping with clinic repairs, to showing love with a thank you postcard, support can look a variety of ways and is key to keeping these clinics alive! So, throughout this episode, our amazing panelists are going to help you learn about independent providers, AKA the clinics doing most of the work that you may never have heard of. Show them some love below by filling out our vetting form so you can work with them in the future, checking the activist calendar, and buying them some goodies via our Adopt-A-Clinic program.

Welcome to Episode Three of Operation Save Abortion! Thanks for committing to this pod series and for making a commitment to learn more, act more, fund more, and raise hell more in this fight for abortion and bodily autonomy. This is NOT a pod series you listen to while cleaning out your closet. It’s about listening with friends and utilizing the activity and discussion guide designed for each episode to deepen your knowledge. The goal is helping you discover which part of abortion activism is right for you, so you can help build and grow community. 

Each of the five episodes features amazing experts from the reproductive health, rights, and justice movements.

Before you get into episode three, listen to Episode 1. It’s pretty much your “Reproductive Justice 101” crash course. Abortion activism is just one part of this intersectional movement, so this first episode is designed to help ground your experience throughout this series and overall abortion advocacy in a Reproductive Justice framework, making sure to center those most most effected by these harmful laws, and by following Black, Brown and Indigenous leadership as we fight for bodily autonomy. 

Episode Three is all about patient advocacy. A lot of folks have expressed great interest in this topic and have been asking for some time now about how you can help people seeking abortion. We’d like to start off by saying that there are a lot of complexities in this area, so we put together an all-star panel made up of experts who do this all day, everyday. They will be breaking down what patient advocacy is, giving you the realities of what is needed, help guide you on how you can support the organizations who specialize in patient support, and explain why some people’s very generous and well meaning offers of a couch or “camping” can make people feel vulnerable and in turn add to the stigma around abortion care. It’s intense, but you’re doing great, so take a breath and take this at your own pace.

Welcome to Episode Four of Operation Save Abortion! Thanks for committing to listening to this pod series and for making a commitment to learn more, act more, fund more, and raise hell more in this fight for abortion and bodily autonomy. This is NOT a pod series you listen to while cleaning out your closet. It’s about listening with friends and utilizing the activity and discussion guide designed for each episode to deepen your knowledge. The goal is helping you discover which part of abortion activism is right for you, so you can help build and grow community. 

Each of the five episodes features amazing experts from the reproductive health, rights, and justice movements who share the opportunities available for us to show up and show out.

We know all that rage in you is just yelling, “abortion bans are f**king trash!” So, we put together Episode 4 as a guide on how to turn this rage into much needed legislative advocacy. This next episode covers the challenges we are facing legislatively and what you can do about it! Our panel is going to introduce you to ways you can help get these old ass abortion laws off the books, help folks who face criminalization for pregnancy outcomes, and how to actually say some game-changing shit to those in legislature. You’re going to leave this episode learning how to organize against these bans and you’re going to hear about the wins folks have accomplished and the steps they took to get them!

“Feminist Buzzkills Live!” is broadcasting LIVE! from Netroots Nation in Pittsburgh this week, with a whole entire live audience, too! Rage and laugh with us as we raise hell and awareness on all the latest updates in the abortion world that you and your uterus need to know. Your Feminist Buzzkills are delivering the bad, the badder, and the not-so-bad news that’s been dropping in these reproductive streets. Michigan is still acting up and making headlines for the wrong reasons, while Florida is serving us a tiny sliver of a bright spot. We’re exposing Kansas’s number one sore loser, who’s got his forced-birther head stuck so far up his ass he’s willing to put his house and retirement savings on the line to fund a lost cause recount of Kansas’s recent win for abortion at the ballot box. Plus, some frauds are trying to exploit and charge pregnant folks for janky $1,500 abortions on a wack “climate-controlled” boat. Refrigerator and microwave included. 

Joining us in our shenanigans this week is Aurea Bolaños Perea, the strategic communications director at COLOR Latina (Colorado Organization for Latina Opportunity and Reproductive Rights). Class is in session! Aurea’s schooling us on ballot initiatives, COLOR’s dope wins, the importance of language in the reproductive rights movement, and she’s busting myths and dropping stats on the Latinx pro-abortion community. So, listen to us doing our favorite things: running our mouths about reproductive justice and dragging anti-abortion shitbrain goblin dickpuffins for filth! The world is heavy right now, but we got you.

Another Friday, another new drop of Abortion Access Front’s “Feminist Buzzkills Live!” pod. As always, we are bringing y’all a knockout lineup of guests to hop in our Buzzkill shenanigans. Karishma Oza, director of patient services at the DuPont Clinic in Washington DC, AKA one of the few clinics in the country that provides all-trimester abortion care, chats with us about second- and third- trimester abortion myths and breaks down all the ways you can show someone getting an abortion emotional support.

PLUS, legendary actor, comedian, and cat/dog/plant momma Margaret Cho stops by! Listen to us blab about what her queer ass is up to, why we wish we could be her cats and how everything that’s good is gay. Period. 

And of course we’re running our mouths about the abobo news! From fetuses being accused of floating around in uteri like they’re on a fucking magic carpet, to the best and worst states to have and raise a baby, and some bright spots for you this week too! Pro-abortion wins are being sprinkled all over, from Wyoming to Texas to Montana, California, and Vermont! It’s a heavy show today, but it’s all necessary to break through the abortion stigmas that hang around like farts from your ex.

IT’S ABORTION ACCESS FRONT’S AND LIZZ’S BIRTHDAY! The Feminist Buzzkills are here to celebrate by poppin’ off about this week’s latest anti-abortion BS that spews from the invasive misogynist species who refuse to get out of everybody’s junk. Don’t worry, though! The abortion gods must’ve heard it was Lizz’s birthday, because they made it rain some not-so-shitty news this week too. From clerics suing over Florida’s fucked up abortion law, to President Biden FINALLY saying “abortion,” to a Michigan judge extending their order barring enforcement of the state’s dusty old 1931 anti-abortion law, we are serving up some major seratonin boosts for you and your uteri. Expect a deep dive into Kansas’s latest abortion win and what we actually think about it. Also, who wants to talk about the new fake clinic, bar and grill, miniature golf course and shame spa going up in Corpus Christi, Texas? We do!

PLUS, joining us this week is the ICONIC Judith Arcana, AKA one of the original, legendary Chicago Janes, who bravely helped women get safe abortions before Roe! She’s blessing all of us with her stories of what it was like to form the Janes, the obstacles and danger they faced, how they shaped the blueprint that abortion activists use today. And she’s our questions about the incredible HBO documentary The Janes! Do yourself a favor and stream it. You’re welcome. 

P.S. Don’t forget to show Lizz and AAF some birthday love by donating HERE!
