ENCORE ALERT! The Feminist Buzzkills are out on a summer break! But, no need to fear – we’re leaving y’all with some extra brain juice to keep you company while we’re offline. We’re dropping an ENCORE POD EPISODE of when we collabed with the iconic “Boom! Lawyered” hosts Imani Gandy and Jess Pieklo IN DC and broke down SCOTUS’ Medina v. Planned Parenthood South Atlantic arguments back in April. It went a little something like this…

ATTENTION BUZZKILLAHSSSSS! WE DID A LIVE THING – in DC! Yep. Your “Feminist Buzzkills” joined forces with the “Boom! Lawyered” pod for an epic live show!

After getting word that SCOTUS was hearing a case that could result in eliminating any healthcare provider from Medicaid payments if they provide abortion, we geared up for battle for one super-sized show with the amazing “Boom! Lawyered” hosts Imani Gandy (Rewire Editor-at-Large) and Jess Pieklo (Rewire Senior Vice President, Executive Editor.) We break down what this case means, and fill you in on all the outrageous tricks clown lawmakers across the country are playing trying to destroy access to reproductive care. It was a packed show full of rage and shenanigans and the DC crowd LOVED IT! 

This episode unpacks the arguments in Medina v Planned Parenthood South Atlantic, a case that could upend Medicaid beneficiaries ability to enforce their rights under the public benefit program all because conservatives hate abortion. We get into the history of efforts to kick Planned Parenthood out of the Medicaid program, the bad faith arguments made by conservatives to the Court as they try to do so again, and how a bad decision in the case could impact way more than access to abortion.

Recorded LIVE at the Black Cat in DC, we gotta give a huge shout out and special thanks to the Black Cat crew for making the space for our loud asses AND for everyone who showed up! Tune in for the legal brilliance, the laughs, the knowledge, and some actions you can take to be the change you wanna see in this world. 

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

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!

OPERATION SAVE ABORTION: WE DID A THING EARLIER THIS MONTH! The Feminist Buzzkills took some big patriarchy-smashing heat to The Big Easy and recorded a live workshop that’ll train you in coming for anti-abobo lawmakers, spotting and fighting against fake clinics, AND gears you up on how to support abortion patients and providers. We turned it into a podcast episode so you can listen to it HERE. P.S. You can still join the 10,000+ womb warriors fighting the patriarchy by listening to our past Operation Save Abortion pod series and Mifepristone Panel by clicking HERE for episodes, your toolkit, marching orders, and more.

MINI-SODE ALERT! The Feminist Buzzkills are out on a summer break! But, no need to fear—we’re leaving y’all with some extra brain juice to keep you company while we’re offline. We’re dropping a very fun MINI SPECIAL POD EPISODE that we taped earlier this summer with the geniuses (and SISTERS!) behind “The Turnaway Play,” Diana Greene Foster and Lesley Greene!

“What is the Turnaway Play?” you ask. It's a whole ass play based on Diana Greene Foster’s “Turnaway Study!” The award-winning research paper is a comprehensive look at the harms caused by folks being denied abortion care, and it is INCREDIBLE. We stan this study soooo much that we dedicated a whole ass podcast episode to it last year and now we’re bringing y’all a whole ass episode dedicated to Lesley Greene’s play that has been bringing these crucial facts to the THEE-AYE-TAH, baby!!

Gather your partners in resistance and tune in for the tools, tactics, and firepower you need to fight forced birth fascists at every turn.

Your favorite Buzzkill duo are back at it with hot takes, hot guests, and plenty of RAGE! What went down this week in Abobolandia? Well… let’s just start with a win—Ken Paxton: 0 Texas abortion provider, Dr. Margaret Carpenter: 1. HUZZAH! Also, what happens in West Virginia certainly won’t stay in West Virginia—we’re laying out the latest terrible, horrible, no good, very bad decision curbing access to medication abortion from the Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals in West Virginia *barf*. AND we’re making some sense of the clear-as-swamp water Kentucky case that makes us wonder—what do frozen eggs have to do with the right to sue?

GUEST ROLL CALL!

Joining the Buzzkills this week is Chase Strangio, Co-Director of the ACLU’s LGBTQ & HIV Project, to break down the intersections of abortion care and trans care, and how the media (NOT SCIENCE) has literally done all of the work in forming anti-trans bias.

PLUS!!! Showing up to FBK with the palate cleanser we all need is the FABU and ICONIC actress and recording artist Peppermint! She’s showing us what trans resilience and JOY truly look like, and how she finds the strength to keep fighting.

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!

SPECIAL PODISODE! THREE YEARS SINCE THE FALL OF ROE? Woof. It’s been a heavy three years and an even heavier past few weeks. 

June 24th marks the 3rd anniversary of the fall of Roe (sobs). So, diving into what has happened to abortion access since then means bringing in THE BIG GUNS. It’s big Buzzkill energy as Lizz welcomes the incomparable constitutional genius Dr. Michele Goodwin to talk about just how damn far we’ve fallen and what legal challenges are ahead. Also sharing her reflections is abortion provider extraordinaire, CEO of Whole Woman’s Health, Amy Hagstrom Miller. Since the fall of Roe (and before) Amy has sued Texas, Indiana, and the federal government, all while providing abortion care in states like Maryland, Virginia and Minnesota. Amy also recounts the terror she and her Minnesota staff experienced as the antiabortion terrorist Vance Boelter was on the loose.This truly is an eye-opening episode that everyone should listen to.

Welcome back to your weekly dose of Feminist Buzzkilling! Moji’s off on a well-deserved vacay, but Lizz is holding it down despite this week’s abobo news spawning a major ewww alert. Prepare yourselves.

We’re approaching the three-year anniversary of the obliteration of Roe and guess what? Lizz unpacks a study on how ye olde gender gap on abortion is getting even WIDER. Spoiler: turns out chivalry isn’t dead, WE are. Feminist Buzzkills also orders a FULL STOP to studies about cis, straight men’s feelings. Expect all that, plus lots of Lizz yapping about all the OTHER clownery from the abobosphere: Louisiana jumping on the anti-abortion bounty hunter bandwagon, West Virginia embracing self-snitching, and Ozempic penis… LOL… we couldn’t make this shit up if we tried!

GUEST ROLL CALL!

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!

Woof. The anti-abortion cretins really brought their fuckery to the yard this week. The BS popped off from the Lone Star State all the way to the UK, so Lizz and Moji are back to lay it all out for you with some incredible guests, and dish on the week’s good, bad, and mostly bad abortion stories! You know—the usual. Your Buzzkills will break down the tragic FIVE MONTH criminalization of a Texan woman's miscarriage, the motives of last week’s attack at the Palm Springs IVF clinic, and learn that the enemy of our enemy is not our friend! It seems that the “anti-natalists” pulled a seat up to the cruel kids table… tune in to figure out whatever the fuck “anti-natalist” means.

GUEST ROLL CALL!

Joining the pod this week is one of our absolute favorites, Executive Director of the Feminist Center for Reproductive Liberation Kwajelyn Jackson, to discuss getting justice for Adriana Smith, the pregnant woman forced onto life support to carry out her pregnancy.

PLUS, launching from one horrifying topic to another, Moji and Lizz break down the scary grift of maternity homes with best-selling author Grady Hendrix about his new incredible new horror novel Witchcraft for Wayward Girls — proving once again that misogyny is the scariest monster. 

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.

What’s going down in abobo town this week? Lizz and Moji gotchu and are reminding everyone to HOLD THE APPLAUSE – Yes, Trump’s DOJ just asked to dismiss a lawsuit aiming to restrict mifepristone access, but nope, it’s not the feminist victory you think it is. Your Buzzkills break down why the anti-abortion playbook is still in full swing. OH, and Missouri voters CLEARLY said yes to abortion rights in 2024, but what’s conservative lawmakers latest stunt in their obsession to undo it? Tune in for the snark, the facts, and the side-eye all of this week’s trash anti-abobo news deserves.

GUEST ROLL CALL!

The incredible Dr. Karenne Fru, an Atlanta-based OBGYN and fertility expert, is in the house to talk about the intersections of IVF and abortion care because Reproductive Justice means fighting for ALL reproductive options!

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