This week, on the ONLY weekly abortion podcast made by people IN the abortion field, your Feminist Buzzkills celebrate some MAJOR wins in Wisconsin! One of which includes AAF bestie, the fabulous and unstoppable Dina Nina being elected alder, making her the first openly trans woman to hold office in Madison, Wisconsin! She’s blessing us with her presence and spilling all the deets on her campaign and what changes need to go down in The Dairy State.
The Buzzkills also rage it up and serve y’all all the latest updates in the abobo world including Florida giving a big “F U” to uteri with their new six-week abortion ban. We buzzsplain why your abortion data is NOT safe and what YOU can do to protect it. We unpack the good, the bad, and all the BS in between so you don’t have to!
AND, we’ve got two other poppin’ guests! Duke Virginia, the amazing Georgia organizing coordinator of ARC Southeast, is here with the facts. They spill on all the special work ARC does, the Reproductive Freedom Act, and school us on what exactly is “Cop City” and how it’ll affect Georgia and the rest of the country. PLUS, comedian, host of the “TV, I Say” pod, and bisexual icon, Ashley Ray jumps in the mix to remind us that Black women are leading the way in writing moving TV and film portrayals of abortion. She’s talking about that, dating a flat-earther, and what shows we all need to binge.
Times are heavy, but we got you.
