What a day it has been. Today was a perfect example that it really does take a village to oppress a woman. Mike Pence used his shit grin to break a tie and pass a bill making it legal for states to deny funding for family planning, Louisville is in threat of having their last clinic close and every other state seemed to want to dump some more shit on the fire.

With how much abortion batshittery comes out of Texas it only made sense for us to take the podcast to Austin for SXSW. Huge thank you to the 1in3 campaign and Advocates for Youth for making it all possible.

Lizz and Julie are joined by Texas activist Sadie Hernandez, Kathy Valentine from The Go Go's, Candice Russell from "We Testify" and Jamie Broadnax from Black Girl Nerds.

We hear some of our guests share their abortion stories, tackle current news topics, and discuss fake clinics and the hipster dudes helping them.
