The top story this week is Trump's SCOTUS pick, Neil Gorsuch. What does his past say about his stance on repro-rights? Arkansas and Texas fill out the state news. Wouldn't be a show if there wasn't something shitty happening in Texas.

The anti's stole a fence from Preterm, an abortion clinic in Cleveland. They actually stole a fence - help them out with getting a new one. We also talk the hearings from this week and what's happening in Kentucky.

Also included is an interview with an activist in Ohio, she has an inspiring story that we hope you'll enjoy and use for motivation.

We're Back! Our vibe is currently "At least it's not 2016 anymore."

Lizz and Julie chat with Heather Busby about the recent hearing over fetal burial and guess what? Texas does NOT have their shit together. The new power shift in Kentucky and Missouri puts the states at the hands of completely Republican controlled state governments for the first time in a long time, which is not fairing well so far.

Ohio snuck a total ban on abortion into a bill about child abuse and neglect, cool... real cool. Oh wait, they also passed a ban on 20 week abortion too - especially for women with diabetes and other medical conditions. SAY WHAT?? Our guest, Mallory McMaster helps us deal. Where do these laws come from? Listen to find out.

Come on, Texas! Stop being so predictable. This episode we visit the current laws that Texas and Utah are trying to pass. We reminisce about the good old days when people could just have non-shameful sex next to the radio listening to... Stratton and Bramble? Or maybe something a little more entertaining.
