Feminist Sleeper Cell

Why is Indiana Governor Mike Pence so obsessed with forcing people to cremate or bury their aborted or miscarried fetuses? We have some theories. It's a full house this week with Lizz Winstead, Ashley Gray, Sharron Paul, Rae Sanni and Molly Gaebe commenting on the latest repro news. We pay tribute to our new sheros, the woman who yelled at Florida Gov. Rick Scott in a Starbucks and the Periods for Pence movement. The team also discusses the new language anti-choice activists are using to scare people over to their side, and the real-life stories of women who have been affected by TRAP laws.

We also break down Donald Trump’s recent abortion statements (barf), the GOP witch hunt-- I mean committee-- that’s halting medical research with your tax dollars, SCOTUS’s birth control problems, and a scary tactic that anti-choice activists are using to deceive pregnant people.

We also chat birth control methods, colonics, and the ridiculous places the Florida legislature things you should go for a pap smear.
