We’re dropping an ENCORE POD EPISODE of when we collabed with the iconic “Boom! Lawyered” hosts Imani Gandy and Jess Pieklo IN DC and broke down SCOTUS’ Medina v. Planned Parenthood South Atlantic arguments back in April. It went a little something like this…   ATTENTION BUZZKILLAHSSSSS! WE DID A LIVE THING – in DC! Yep. Your “Feminist Buzzkills” joined forces with the “Boom! Lawyered” pod for an epic live show!   After getting word that SCOTUS was hearing a case that could result in eliminating any healthcare provider from Medicaid payments if they provide abortion, we geared up for battle for one super-sized show with the amazing “Boom!

We’re dropping a very fun MINI SPECIAL POD EPISODE that we taped earlier this summer with the geniuses (and SISTERS!) behind “The Turnaway Play,” Diana Greene Foster and Lesley Greene!   “What is the Turnaway Play?” you ask. It's a whole ass play based on Diana Greene Foster’s “Turnaway Study!” The award-winning research paper is a comprehensive look at the harms caused by folks being denied abortion care, and it is INCREDIBLE. We stan this study soooo much that we dedicated a whole ass podcast episode to it last year and now we’re bringing y’all a whole ass episode dedicated to Lesley Greene’s play that has been bringing these crucial facts to the THEE-AYE-TAH, baby!!    Scared?

Lizz and Moji joined forces with AAF’s Head Writer Alyssa Al-Dookhi, Programs Manager Sherill Dingle, and Programs Director Kristin Hady to drop their knowledge.

What went down this week in Abobolandia? Well… let’s just start with a win—Ken Paxton: 0 Texas abortion provider, Dr. Margaret Carpenter: 1. HUZZAH! Also, what happens in West Virginia certainly won’t stay in West Virginia—we’re laying out the latest terrible, horrible, no good, very bad decision curbing access to medication abortion from the Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals in West Virginia *barf*. AND we’re making some sense of the clear-as-swamp water Kentucky case that makes us wonder—what do frozen eggs have to do with the right to sue?   GUEST ROLL CALL! Joining the Buzzkills this week is Chase Strangio, Co-Director of the ACLU’s LGBTQ & HIV Project, to break down the intersections of abortion care and trans care, and how the media (NOT SCIENCE) has literally done all of the work in forming anti-trans bias.   PLUS!!!

Lizz and Moji are BACK this week and bringing you a big beautiful breakdown of all the ways the Big Bullshit Bill is coming for our abortion rights, even when abortion isn’t explicitly mentioned… because why not be as sneaky as possible, amirite? AND we spill the tea on this week's crop of anti-abortion schemes to ruin our reproductive lives.    GUEST ROLL CALL! FBK bestie Pamela Merritt, Executive Director of Medical Students for Choice, is in the house to talk about what demonizing DEI and closing rural hospitals means for med students and overall healthcare disparities.

THREE YEARS SINCE THE FALL OF ROE? Woof. It’s been a heavy three years and an even heavier past few weeks.    June 24th marks the 3rd anniversary of the fall of Roe (sobs). So, diving into what has happened to abortion access since then means bringing in THE BIG GUNS. It’s big Buzzkill energy as Lizz welcomes the incomparable constitutional genius Dr. Michele Goodwin to talk about just how damn far we’ve fallen and what legal challenges are ahead. Also sharing her reflections is abortion provider extraordinaire, CEO of Whole Woman’s Health, Amy Hagstrom Miller. Since the fall of Roe (and before) Amy has sued Texas, Indiana, and the federal government, all while providing abortion care in states like Maryland, Virginia and Minnesota. Amy also recounts the terror she and her Minnesota staff experienced as the antiabortion terrorist Vance Boelter was on the loose.This truly is an eye-opening episode that everyone should listen to.   Scared?

Moji’s off on a well-deserved vacay, but Lizz is holding it down despite this week’s abobo news spawning a major ewww alert. Prepare yourselves.   We’re approaching the three-year anniversary of the obliteration of Roe and guess what? Lizz unpacks a study on how ye olde gender gap on abortion is getting even WIDER. Spoiler: turns out chivalry isn’t dead, WE are. Feminist Buzzkills also orders a FULL STOP to studies about cis, straight men’s feelings. Expect all that, plus lots of Lizz yapping about all the OTHER clownery from the abobosphere: Louisiana jumping on the anti-abortion bounty hunter bandwagon, West Virginia embracing self-snitching, and Ozempic penis… LOL… we couldn’t make this shit up if we tried!   GUEST ROLL CALL!

Lizz and Moji break down healthcare carpetbagger Dr. Oz’s latest EMTALA bullshit. The Grifter-In-Chief’s administration made it clear this week that they’re coming full force for a 2022 guidance that mandated hospitals provide EMERGENCY abortions. It’s giving “Make America Flatline Again.” PLUS: we dive into fresh, steaming hot pile of Texas trash as cops in the Drone Star State scoured over 80,000 license plates to track down ONE abortion patient. Spoiler alert: the story is fishmarket funky. OH, and shoutout to Illinois for delivering some GOOD abobo news this week!
