Feminist Sleeper Cell

EPISODE 80: #NoAbortionBan is Trending... Again

They are at it again trying to pass a 6-week ban on abortion. The House Judiciary Committee held a hearing yesterday to determine if the bill is constitutional. It was frustrating, to say the least. Julie is joined by Anne Bailey, from NARAL ProChoice America to discuss the shenanigans - including a creepy sonogram play by play by Rep Steve King.

LADY PARTS JUSTICE REPRO MADNESS PODCAST: Episode 79

"Jane Doe is Due for SOMETHING"

Jane Doe is seriously getting tormented with some process down in Texas. Who is Jane Doe? She is an undocumented teen that is being denied her right to an abortion by the government - EVEN THOUGH - she was granted permission by a judge with the help of an amazing organization called Jane's *clap* Due *clap* Process. So many heavy hitters on this episode. Lizz speaks with Dahlia Lithwick, one of the main journalists covering the case for Slate, and Amy Hagstrom Miller from Whole Women's Health, the main independent abortion provider in Texas. Then Julie brings you her first west coast interview with Susan Berke Fogel, Director of the National Health Law Program... and a million other kickass organizations.

Julie is joined by our leader Lizz Winstead, Nicole Moore the Communications Director, and fellow writer Molly Gaebe, to break down all of the NEW garbage fires happening in reproductive rights. We're talking Trump rolling back Obama's birth control mandate, the horror that is Harvey Weinstein and the ultimate scare happening in the Department of Health and Human Services. Here's a hint: they've declared that life begins at conception and should end "naturally". This should scare you.

Lizz and Julie speak with Mia Raven from The P.O.W.E.R. House in Alabama about the political fuckery down there these days. The democratic party in Alabama seems to have given up on trying to win the Senate seat to replace Jeff Sessions and resident extremist Sam McLure won't stop pushing his Proposal 16 while doxing abortion providers. Hey Sam, Prop 16 is like "fetch"... it isn't going to happen.
