It’s just Lizz and Ashley holding down the fort this week, bringing you your below-the-belt news from the repro world. We discuss the resurgence of the coat hanger abortion in Tennessee and the various problems surrounding the reporting of this story. The ladies also delve into Ohio’s Attorney General Mike DeWine’s fruitless investigation into Planned Parenthood and the new fetal disposal bill. We happen to be experts in “ungodly sex,” so of course we had to comment on the Kentucky homeless shelter that kicked homeless women out of their facility for tempting the male residents. Considering all of the craziness going on around the country lately, it’s no wonder that UN delegates found the treatment of women in the United States to be appalling. Think it can’t get more depressing? A Saudi millionaire was just acquitted in London after using the “My penis fell into her vagina” rape case defense. We’re off next week for Christmas, but we’ll be back with an episode on New Year's Eve to help wind down the year and gear up for 2016!

Episode 12 is extra special because LPJ’s National Coordinator, Amber Gavin, pops her podcast cherry! After a morning of day drinking at the New York Women in Film/TV Awards, Lizz, Amber and Ashley sit down to discuss the unfolding trial of Colorado terrorist, Robert Dear, the Supreme Court weighing in on the Planned Parenthood videos, and the impending legal troubles of the videos’ creator, David Daleiden. To wrap up the episode, the three unpack the fanciest gift bag ever and celebrate the contributions Lady Parts Justice has made to smashing the stigma surrounding abortion in 2015.

This week's episode delves into the tragedy that happened last week in Colorado, the GOP's response and the abortion rights movement's resilience in the face of violence and terror. We appreciate and support abortion providers across the country and celebrate their unyielding bravery. Abortion providers are heroes!

Special guests Alex English and Rae Sanni join the podcast this week, bringing hilarity and truth to your earbuds! The team debates anti-choice rhetoric, disturbing news coming out of Texas this week, and adoption. For the second half, Sharron and Alex explain what it was like growing up with Ben Carson as an icon in their communities and now, as politically engaged adults, they are feeling conflicted. The team delves into respectability politics, White America’s reaction to Carson’s shortcomings and much more on this thought-provoking episode.

It is a gigglefest at the LPJ Clubhouse this week thanks to all the crackpottery going on in the repro world. Lizz, Sharron and Ashley are horrified over the resurgence of the Hobby Lobby brouhaha and explain scenarios that could happen if we keep letting corporations deny healthcare to their employees on religious grounds. Next, we laugh our asses off over Geoff Botkin’s hatred of Dumbledore and Frozen. Thanks to Kevin Swanson and Dave Buehner, conservative radio hosts in Colorado, the ladies have a free-for-all dissecting some illogical musings over the two different types of feminists. Lastly, we bring you the hilarity that is Josh Feuerstein’s Starbucks cup rant-- Spoiler Alert: coffee is bitter because of abortion!

Lady Parts Justice revels in the hilarity that is the new Ben Carson radio rap advertisement and also discusses some troubling news and local election results from the past week. Lizz dissects Carly Fiorina’s most recent lies about Planned Parenthood to Ashley and Sharron’s amusement. The second act comes from Lizz, Ashley, and Leah as they share real stories of people who have been affected by restrictive abortion laws in their states.

This week on Repro Madness, LPJ poses the question: Why is it the right-wing “family values” politicians and influencers who always get caught in the most salacious scandals? They claim to have a moral authority and hold other people up to a standard that they themselves can’t uphold. The LPJ team recapped some classic hypocrites as well as some new ones that have come to our attention! As firm believers in sex positivity, we are calling out the harmful d-bags and telling them to keep their politics out of our bedrooms. Listen in to this hilarious convo to hear about how Ashley thinks she should have been a sex worker, why we disapprove of Tyga and Kylie and how we define a “feminist sex scandal!”

Watching these congressional hearings getting you down? We at LPJ took one for the team and watched the most recent hearing to defund Planned Parenthood so you don’t have to. Listen and laugh along as we hash out the insanity and set the record straight.

Lady Parts Justice skypes with Carafem, a clinic in Maryland that is squashing stigma by speaking frankly about the abortion services they provide.
