Sexpest-Maxxing With Chrissa Sparkles & Dr. April Lockley

Fri, 17 Apr 2026 18:02:27 +0000

TW: Topics of SA and r*pe between the timestamps of 14:26-23:00.

Abobolandia is a dumpster fire of sexpest-maxxing this week and Lizz and Moji are diving into it all for you. Plus…. Word on the street is the newly-released abortion DOJ “investigation” mentions AAF – god forbid a girl has hobbies. Plus Unpacking Swalwell is and the CNN R*pe Academy story. This episode is bound to piss you off, so buckle up and raise some rage and awareness with your Feminist Buzzkills.

GUEST ROLL CALL:

ALL RISE… CHRISSA SPARKLES IS HERE!!! The comedian and musical artist is bringing the laughs and all the tea on becoming an accidental political POP STAR, being first-gen Filipino, resisting the system, cultural appropriation-maxxing, unapologetically finding her voice, and her show “Delulu!” We are obsessed.

PLUS! Dr. April Lockley, Medical Director of the Miscarriage and Abortion Hotline, talks about all of the ways the hotline supports people who may have questions when self-managing their abortions and miscarriages, free from judgment. We get into how to use the M+A Hotline alongside other great resources to avoid criminalization, the siloing of abortion care from healthcare, and envisioning the world we want to see for abortion and miscarriage care. We love M+A and you need to know about them!

Times are heavy, but knowledge is power, y’all. We gotchu.

A New Franchise for John Krasinski? With Kwajelyn Jackson, Tracii Wesley & Kate Schatz

Fri, 10 Apr 2026 20:14:46 +0000

It’s another edition of “What the actual fuck is going on?” LFG.

Our intrepid Feminist Buzzkills Lizz and Moji are back and bringing good news from Middle Earth — you know, Illinois and Wisconsin. They also go deep laying out how this week's attack on birth control, abortion, military rights, and voting rights are the latest ingredients in the larger toxic stew of oppression being cooked up by our enemies for 2027. COOL.

GUEST ROLL CALL:

WE HAVE 2026 OSCAR NOMINEES IN THE HOUSE! From the documentary short “The Devil Is Busy,” Feminist Center For Reproductive Liberation Executive Director Kwajelyn Jackson and Head of Security Tracii Wesley talk about the film, and navigating all the challenges providing abortion care under a six week ban in Georgia. It’s a lot, y’all, but they’re dropping the knowledge you didn’t know you needed.

PLUS! Author Kate Schatz is talking about being a teen feminist in the ‘90s, and how her own mom’s experiences inspired her new book, “Where the Girls Were.” It’s a heartbreaking and empowering story of unintended pregnancy, maternity homes, and resilience set in the late 1960s. You’ll laugh, you’ll cry, you’ll immediately buy her book from an independent bookstore. It’s the only way.

Times are heavy, but knowledge is power, y’all. We gotchu.

We Found The Male Excellence With Jason Narducy

info@aafront.org (Lizz Winstead, Moji Alawode-El, Jason Narducy) — Fri, 27 Mar 2026 17:02:22 +0000

The Feminist Buzzkills are doing what they do best… raging against whatever patriarchal BS the misogynistic minions spewed out this week! If we have to know about it, so do you! The Sunshine State is doing the most to go full-on FORCED C-Section State, and we’re spilling the latest updates about the Georgia woman charged with MURDER for allegedly trying to self-manage her abortion, and are Viola Davis and James Patterson the pro-abobo duo we’ve been yearning for?!

GUEST ROLL CALL:

One of our favorite males and rockstars, Jason Narducy, joins us! Y’all have already heard all of our stories from the road, and now you’ll hear from the man himself! The musician and author yaps with us about his incredible career playing with some amazing musicians, Pizzagate (yeah, you heard that right), and why his R.E.M. songbook project with Michael Shannon went all in for abortion rights!

Times are heavy, but knowledge is power, y’all. We gotchu.

The Manosphere vs Menosphere with Phoebe Robinson, Alicia J. Rose & Dr. Aoife O’Sullivan

Fri, 20 Mar 2026 20:24:13 +0000

Our fav Buzzkill babes Lizz and Moji are coming at ya this week with incredible topics and incredible guests! First off- We truly owe them a debt of gratitude — they took one for the feminist team, and watched the Netflix Inside the Manosphere documentary so we don’t have to. Warning: after listening, be prepared for the overwhelming urge to jump in the shower and scrub the misogyny off for the next 12 hours.

We’ve Got THE Guests To Balance Out The Misogynistic Malarkey!

The perfect antidote to the Manosphere? The MENOSPHERE! Joining the Buzzkills this week are Alicia J. Rose, host and creator of the Menopunks Podcast, and menopause specialist, Dr. Aoife O’Sullivan to talk all things menopause. From entirely-too-moist night sweats to your entirely-too-dry ‘gina, Moji and Lizz have the perfect guests to talk about all the downs and dirties of the ‘pause trifecta: peri, meno, and post-meno.

PLUS: Sometimes you just have to choose to laugh about it (when you’re done raging your way through a hot flash), and our fav pre-perimenopausal comedian and star of the hysterical comedy special, I Don’t Wanna Work Anymore, Phoebe Robinson, is going to crack you tf up! If you can’t laugh about it, what the hell else are you gonna do?

Tune in for the menopause minutiae, stay for the comedy!

Times are heavy, but knowledge is power, y’all. We gotchu.

It's Abortion Provider Appreciation Week! With David Gunn Jr., Dr. Victoria Williams, Dr. Chris Creatura & Venny Ala-Siurua

Fri, 13 Mar 2026 18:08:53 +0000

We are soooooooo back! It’s our FAVORITE time of the year: ABORTION PROVIDER APPRECIATION WEEK! Abortion Provider Day is on March 10th. It was started in memory of Dr. David Gunn, who was murdered by an anti-abortion extremist in 1993. As always, we choose to both honor the abortion providers who lost their lives and have been harmed by violent extremists, as well as the badass folks who continue to provide abortion care to anyone who needs it. So what better way to celebrate than for Lizz and Moji to remind y’all of ALL the ways YOU can support abortion providers on the daily! PLUS, we bring on FOUR special guests to join in the hoopla!

GUEST ROLL CALL:

David Gunn Jr., the son of Dr. David Gunn – is here to celebrate his father’s life and talk with us about the daily violence abortion clinics face and why honoring his father on Abortion Provider Appreciation Day is so important.

PLUS! Dr. Victoria Williams, New Orleans-based doctor, doula, maternal health policy advocate, and member-owner of Birthmark Doula Collective is in the house! She yaps with us on all the powerful work Birthmark Doula Collective does (including challenging Louisiana’s latest trash bill that targets abortion pills), the importance of doula reimbursement, and the Black Birth Matters Summit!

DOUBLE PLUS!! NY-based OB-GYN and abortion provider, Dr. Chris Creatura, and Executive Director of Women on Web, Venny Ala-Siurua, are here! Expect to hear all about destigmatizing abortion, what happens when the abortion seeker has to become their own abortion provider, and all of the safe access to abortion pills and abortion information that the Canada-based feminist nonprofit organization, Women on Web, offers in 180 countries.

This episode is an earful, so come and get it!

Times are heavy, but knowledge is power, y’all. We gotchu.

The Olympics of Anti-Abortion Fuckery With Becca Rea-Tucker

GUEST ROLL CALL:

Indie Clinics Kick Against the Pricks With Amy Hagstrom Miller & Gwen Levey

info@aafront.org (Moji Alawode-El, Lizz Winstead) — Fri, 13 Feb 2026 21:31:20 +0000

Your weekly report from Abobolandia is here, it’s hot, and it’s served up fresh with a heavy dollop of snark.

The attacks on the abortion pill mifepristone continue. HHS just said pharmacies don’t have to stock abortion pills anymore. Cool cool cool. Totally normal functioning democracy stuff.

Meanwhile, manufacturers of the pill are gearing up to fight what could become a national telehealth abortion ban, and for once we're actually rooting for Big Pharma. We won't make it a thing, we promise.

GUEST ROLL CALL:

Moji and Lizz sit down with Amy Hagstrom Miller, President & CEO of Whole Woman’s Health, who is providing telehealth abortion care in 10 states while the federal government plays regulatory roulette with people’s bodies. Independent clinics still provide the majority of abortion care in this country. Yes, indie clinics, not hospital systems, not corporations, and they are being squeezed from every direction.

Then musician and activist Gwen Levey pulls up to talk to Moji about using her voice loudly in a moment when silence is complicity, and especially as the DOJ refuses to meaningfully pursue accountability for the victims of Jeffrey Epstein. Her video, “Barefoot & Pregnant,” recently went viral for highlighting the atrocities of Project 2026. Institutions bending over backwards for predators and cracking down on bodily autonomy is all part of their plan.

But never, fear! We have the info you need and the tools to fight back.

Times are heavy, but knowledge is power, y’all. We gotchu.

Medical Marijuana Card For A Fetus?! With Karen Thompson & Abby Govindan

info@aafront.org (Lizz Winstead, Karen Thompson, Abby Govindan, Moji Alawode-El) — Fri, 6 Feb 2026 23:00:00 +0000

Your Feminist Buzzkills are pouring out all the latest abobo-related tea that is bound to curdle your girdle! Nobody is coming to save us, folks—we’re doing the damn thing ourselves.

Lizz and Moji lay out how the Trump administration is using a law written to protect abortion providers to prosecute Don Lemon!

And Texas continues to Texas, as The Turning Point USA-ssholes at Texas Tech are out here banning the speech of abortion providers on their campus. And in other “Texas-men-pissing-us-off” news: another Lone Star loser is testing the misogynistic waters of shiny new anti-abobo law that allows him to sue a California doctor for legally prescribing abortion pills to his girlfriend.

Creeps need some hobbies y’all.

GUEST ROLL CALL

Karen Thompson, Legal Director of Pregnancy Justice, is in the house! Karen is sounding the alarm with Lizz and Moji on pregnancy criminalization as she dives into the overt and covert ways this government is policing pregnancy outcomes—information we ALL need to know!

PLUS! Abby Govindan is here!

Do not fear—Buzzkills have comedy, m’dear! The comedian and writer stops by to share how she navigates the world as a child of immigrants and gives a sneak peek into her new solo show, “Pushing 30”.

Times are heavy, but knowledge is power, y’all. We gotchu.

March for Life Madness With Kristin Hady

info@aafront.org (lizz winstead, moji alawode-el, kristin hady) — Fri, 30 Jan 2026 23:00:00 +0000

It’s our (least) favorite time of the year – the March for Life, womp womp womp. AKA, the 100,000 person mega anti-abortion circle jerk in Washington, DC, where harassholes spend some of the coldest days of the year outside, yelling misinformation about abortion pill in the drinking water, fetus Ozempic, and pagan skulls all while staying silent as hell about ICE killing people and detaining children. As always, your Feminist Buzzkills are breaking it all down.

GUEST ROLL CALL!

Since this one’s a doozy, we called in the best infiltrator we know to join us in the fun, AAF’s programs director, Kristin Hady! An expert on anti-abortion extremists, Kristin was on the ground at the National Mall for ALL of the bible-humping chaos. This special FBK episode is a meaty recap of the vibes, the messaging and the scary ass forced birth plans they have in store for us in 2026 and beyond, plus some ways to fight back!

Be Brave With Hope Ngumezi

info@aafront.org (Hope Ngumezi, Alyssa Al-Dookhi, Moji Alawode-El) — Fri, 16 Jan 2026 23:16:12 +0000

While Lizz is out spreading the pro-abortion gospel, your Buzzkill bestie Moji is joined by AAF Head Writer Alyssa Al-Dookhi, AKA Dooks, to dish on the latest and unfortunately-almost-always-not-so-greatest goings-on in the abobosphere! As abortion access is attacked on every front, you’ll hear about the scrappy communities coming together to make abortion care attainable for everyone, and how those attacks don’t just stop at abortion… they want to make your IVF and fertility treatments more dangerous, too! But don’t worry— Moji and Dooks are delivering you a refreshing palate cleanser as they look at just how pro-abortion Christian colleges actually are (hint: you’re gonna like this one).

GUEST ROLL CALL!

We can’t ever forget the real cost of abortion bans, friends. Hope Ngumezi joins the pod to share the heartbreaking story of how the Texas medical system failed his late wife, Porsha, because of the state’s abortion ban. Tune in to honor all of the beauty Porsha brought to this world, hear Hope give voice to her story, and learn more about the devastating realities of state abortion bans.

Times are heavy, but knowledge is power, y’all. We gotchu.

OPERATION SAVE ABORTION: Check out our NEW Operation Save Abortion workshop, recorded a live from Netroots Nation 2025 that’ll train you in coming for anti-abobo lawmakers, spotting and fighting against fake clinics, AND gears you up on how to help someone in a banned state access abortion. You can still join the 10,000+ womb warriors fighting the patriarchy by listening to past Operation Save Abortion trainings by clicking HERE for episodes, your toolkit, marching orders, and more.

Fund Abortion, Not ICE With Leigh Finke

info@aafront.org (Leigh Finke, Moji Alawode-El, Lizz Winstead) — Fri, 9 Jan 2026 23:00:00 +0000

It’s only January and we’re already pissed. Your Feminist Buzzkills are officially BACK with our first pod of 2026, and we’re ready to fuck some shit up. Lizz and Moji are lacing up their boots and standing elbow-to-elbow with y’all every single day they come for one of us. From the latest escalation of the “there’s abortions in our water” panic to a huge abortion win in Wyoming, a LOT went down while we were busy baking, wrapping, and just trying to survive.

GUEST ROLL CALL!

It feels like the world is BURNING; with heartbreaking news pouring out of the North Star State, we’re starting the new year with the best person we know to break it all down: Minnesota State House Representative, Leigh Finke. The first openly trans member in the Minnesota State Legislature and chair of the Reproductive Freedom Caucus dives into all of the anti-trans healthcare assaults that the Trump Administration dropped over the holidays, and brings us updates on the tragic ICE shooting of Renee Nicole Good.

We know we say this often (and it’s always true ofc), but this is absolutely a pod you won’t want to miss!

Times are heavy, but knowledge is power, y’all. We gotchu.

The Best, Worst and Weirdest Abortion News of 2025

info@aafront.org (Moji Alawode-El, Lizz Winstead) — Fri, 19 Dec 2025 23:00:00 +0000

*Mariah Carey voice* IT’S TIIIIIIIIME… For our annual year-in-review! HOE-HOE-HOLY shit, Buzzkillianas. 2025 was a hellacious year in Abortlandia, so you already know the Feminist Buzzkills are re-hashing, re-roasting, re-raging, and even re-celebrating over what went down this year in regards to all tings repro-related.

Lizz and Moji took a little sleigh ride down memory lane, made their lists checking them twice, and figured out what stories were the naughtiest, the nicest and the bizarre AF-est! From a certain brainworm host thinking the nation guzzles abortion water, to exposing the hypocrisy of an anti-abobo Bible humper who just got caught using AI to make something so disgusting we'd get banned if we told you—so we’re spilling anyway. And YES, there actually were some abobo wins this year too! So, buckle up for our favorite end of year tradition: unpacking the year’s top-tier triumphs and bottom-of-the-barrel, bargain-bin bullshit of abortion news.

Times are heavy, but knowledge is power, y’all. We gotchu.

Fake Clinics and False Prophets Head to SCOTUS With Dr. Michele Goodwin & Kristin Hady

Fri, 5 Dec 2025 23:00:00 +0000

EPISODE TW: Physical assault.

Satan’s misogynistic minions were hard at work this week… but so were we! The Supreme Court heard not one, but TWO abobo-related cases this week: First Choice Women’s Resource Centers v. Platkin AND a case involving a violent clinic harasser we personally know all too well. SCOTUS is playing with the safety of pregnant people, the future of clinic protections, and the legality of deception as a political strategy. Did you think we’d let you drown in legalese all on your lonesome? HELL NO! Moji is flying solo this week on the pod, but she brought in the big guns to break down in normal peoplespeak WTF what went down this week.

GUEST ROLL CALL!

Dr. Michele Goodwin is BACK! The constitutional law scholar, award-winning author, AAF board member, and the sharpest legal badass we know is here to help us understand exactly what these cases mean and what the court is signaling about the future of abortion access.

PLUS, welcome back Kristin Hady! AAF’s very own Programs Director, extremist whisperer, and longtime Ohio-based clinic defender. Kristin has firsthand experience with the clinic harasshole whose case is now in front of the justices. She shares her personal story of how truly VIOLENT and dangerous this man is, and how his behavior connects to the larger ecosystem of anti-abortion extremism.

This is a goodie you don’t want to miss!

You’ve Been Hegsethed with Kyleanne Hunter & Youngmi Mayer

Fri, 26 Sep 2025 22:00:00 +0000

There’s a new bombshell in the villa: a fresh episode of Feminist Buzzkills! Lizz and Moji are BACK TOGETHER for the first in a long time to raise hell! Now that RFK Jr. has officially called for an FDA investigation into medication abortion, your Buzzkills gotta break down the actual facts and the totally fictional, completely made up study that prompted this whole fiasco! We’re talking Tylenol, Texas, and abortifacients this week! Plus, we’re dragging that clownmouth Ezra Klein for showing his ass yet again.

GUEST ROLL CALL

We invited CEO of Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America (IAVA), Kyleanne Hunter, to take out the trash with us (Pete Hegseth, we’re looking at you) and to drop her knowledge on us all about how not having full reproductive healthcare in the military is actually a national security problem!

PLUS! Supplying us with the serotonin boost we all need, is the one and only Youngmi Mayer, hilarious comedian and author. She’s gabbing it up with us on navigating life as an immigrant, getting an abortion in South Korea, her memoir (YAY!), and why laughing and crying are connected AF.

Times are heavy, but knowledge is power, y’all. We gotchu.

OPERATION SAVE ABORTION: WE DID A THING IN AUGUST! The Feminist Buzzkills took some big patriarchy-smashing heat to The Big Easy and recorded a live workshop that’ll train you in coming for anti-abobo lawmakers, spotting and fighting against fake clinics, AND gears you up on how to help someone in a banned state access abortion. You can still join the 10,000+ womb warriors fighting the patriarchy by listening to our past Operation Save Abortion pod series and Mifepristone Panel by clicking HERE for episodes, your toolkit, marching orders, and more.

The Audacity to Care for All With Yasmin Elhady & Ali Kliegman

Fri, 12 Sep 2025 22:00:00 +0000

Feminist Buzzkills is officially BACK! WHEEEEE! Lizz is still out meeting with activists and speaking at screenings of the AAF documentary, “No One Asked You,” at The Colombia International Human Rights Festival (dopeness alert). And HUZZAH—joining Moji is AAF’s inimitable Head Writer, Alyssa “Dooks” Al-Dookhi to guest co-host! They’re diving into abortion providers handling IUD insertion pain like pros, the rollercoaster of Planned Parenthood’s Medicaid funding, and fake clinics sneaking into telehealth.

GUEST ROLL CALL!

Moji and Dooks chat with real-life clinic superstar, Ali Kliegman, Co-Founder and Executive Director of Care for All Clinic, a brand-spanking-new nonprofit abortion clinic in the heart of Milwaukee. Ali spills the tea about going from concept to real-ass clinic in basically one year, the violence and harassment Care for All has already faced, and how their community model can be a blueprint for healthcare clinics!

PLUS! Get your serotonin boost courtesy of comedian, matchmaker, and lawyer Yasmin Elhady! She yaps with us about her dating reality show on Hulu, “Muslim Matchmaker,” figuring out she’s funny AF, and the deets on diversity in the Muslim Ummah. She’s bringing it ALL.

Times are heavy, but knowledge is power, y’all. We gotchu.

OPERATION SAVE ABORTION: WE DID A THING IN AUGUST! The Feminist Buzzkills took some big patriarchy-smashing heat to The Big Easy and recorded a live workshop that’ll train you in coming for anti-abobo lawmakers, spotting and fighting against fake clinics, AND gears you up on how to help someone in a banned state access abortion. You can still join the 10,000+ womb warriors fighting the patriarchy by listening to our past Operation Save Abortion pod series and Mifepristone Panel by clicking HERE for episodes, your toolkit, marching orders, and more.

ENCORE: Boom! Buzzkilled: Microdosing the Roepocalypse With Imani Gandy & Jess

info@aafront.org (Moji Alawode-El, Jess Pieklo, Lizz Winstead, Imani Gandy) — Fri, 29 Aug 2025 22:00:00 +0000

Follow along with slideshow visuals HERE.

ENCORE ALERT! The Feminist Buzzkills are out on a summer break! But, no need to fear – we’re leaving y’all with some extra brain juice to keep you company while we’re offline. 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! Lawyered” hosts Imani Gandy (Rewire Editor-at-Large) and Jess Pieklo (Rewire Senior Vice President, Executive Editor.) We break down what this case means, and fill you in on all the outrageous tricks clown lawmakers across the country are playing trying to destroy access to reproductive care. It was a packed show full of rage and shenanigans and the DC crowd LOVED IT!

This episode unpacks the arguments in Medina v Planned Parenthood South Atlantic, a case that could upend Medicaid beneficiaries ability to enforce their rights under the public benefit program all because conservatives hate abortion. We get into the history of efforts to kick Planned Parenthood out of the Medicaid program, the bad faith arguments made by conservatives to the Court as they try to do so again, and how a bad decision in the case could impact way more than access to abortion.

Recorded LIVE at the Black Cat in DC, we gotta give a huge shout out and special thanks to the Black Cat crew for making the space for our loud asses AND for everyone who showed up! Tune in for the legal brilliance, the laughs, the knowledge, and some actions you can take to be the change you wanna see in this world.

Times are heavy, but knowledge is power, y’all. We gotchu.

OPERATION SAVE ABORTION: WE DID A THING EARLIER THIS MONTH! The Feminist Buzzkills took some big patriarchy-smashing heat to The Big Easy and recorded a live workshop that’ll train you in coming for anti-abobo lawmakers, spotting and fighting against fake clinics, AND gears you up on how to support abortion patients and providers. We turned it into a podcast episode so you can listen to it HERE. P.S.

Fri, 22 Aug 2025 22:00:00 +0000

MINI-SODE ALERT! The Feminist Buzzkills are out on a summer break! But, no need to fear—we’re leaving y’all with some extra brain juice to keep you company while we’re offline.

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? Got questions about the continued assault on your reproductive rights? THE FBK LINES ARE OPEN! Just call or text (201) 574-7402, leave your questions or concerns, and Lizz and Moji will pick a few to address on the pod!

Your Reproductive Advocacy Must Include Trans Care With Peppermint & Chase Strangio

info@aafront.org (Peppermint, Chase Strangio, Lizz Winstead, Moji Alawode-El) — Fri, 18 Jul 2025 22:00:00 +0000

Your favorite Buzzkill duo are back at it with hot takes, hot guests, and plenty of RAGE! 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!!! Showing up to FBK with the palate cleanser we all need is the FABU and ICONIC actress and recording artist Peppermint! She’s showing us what trans resilience and JOY truly look like, and how she finds the strength to keep fighting.

Times are heavy, but knowledge is power, y’all. We gotchu.

Three Years Since the Fall of Roe: Have Far Have We Fallen? With Dr. Michele Goodwin & Amy Hagstrom Miller

info@aafront.org (Amy Hagstrom Miller, Dr. Michele Goodwin, Lizz Winstead) — Tue, 24 Jun 2025 16:00:00 +0000

SPECIAL PODISODE! 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.

Times are heavy, but knowledge is power, y’all. We gotchu.

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! Ahh... an abortion win, we’ve missed you, old friend.

GUEST ROLL CALL!

The incredible Dr. Shelley Sella, OB-GYN and the first woman to openly provide abortions later in pregnancy, joins us to gab about her new book, Beyond Limits: Stories of Third-Trimester Abortion Care, and show some big love with us as we celebrate the legacy, humanity and contributions of her friend and colleague, Dr. George Tiller.

Who’s delivering the much-needed serotonin boost this week? Chanel Ali—comedian, actor, and writer, and former AAF staff writer is in the house! Chanel kikis with us about how she uses humor to make lemonade… even when life has handed you some particularly fucked up lemons. Plus, she may or may not be spilling the frijoles about her upcoming SOLO SHOW!

Times are heavy, but knowledge is power, y’all. We gotchu.

Trust Black Women, Motherfuqqers With Kwajelyn Jackson & Grady Hendrix

Fri, 23 May 2025 22:00:00 +0000

Woof. The anti-abortion cretins really brought their fuckery to the yard this week. The BS popped off from the Lone Star State all the way to the UK, so Lizz and Moji are back to lay it all out for you with some incredible guests, and dish on the week’s good, bad, and mostly bad abortion stories! You know—the usual. Your Buzzkills will break down the tragic FIVE MONTH criminalization of a Texan woman's miscarriage, the motives of last week’s attack at the Palm Springs IVF clinic, and learn that the enemy of our enemy is not our friend! It seems that the “anti-natalists” pulled a seat up to the cruel kids table… tune in to figure out whatever the fuck “anti-natalist” means.

GUEST ROLL CALL!

Joining the pod this week is one of our absolute favorites, Executive Director of the Feminist Center for Reproductive Liberation Kwajelyn Jackson, to discuss getting justice for Adriana Smith, the pregnant woman forced onto life support to carry out her pregnancy.

PLUS, launching from one horrifying topic to another, Moji and Lizz break down the scary grift of maternity homes with best-selling author Grady Hendrix about his new incredible new horror novel Witchcraft for Wayward Girls — proving once again that misogyny is the scariest monster.

Times are heavy, but knowledge is power, y’all. We gotchu.

Fri, 2 May 2025 21:42:33 +0000

Rest In Power to our dear friend and activist, Jill Sobule. We did it all with you, Jill, and will continue to carry you with us in all our work.

This week, your Feminist Buzzkills are once again joined by our very own, funny AF Alyssa Al-Dookhi! Sometimes you just need an extra hand in taking out the abobo-related trash that piles up throughout the week – and this week’s trash is STACKED. The anti-abortion grifters are grifting this week as they hard-launched a fuckton of fake science on the dangers of abortion pills. It’s straight up bullshit, and we break it all TF down. OH, and how has the TOTAL Texas abortion ban gone from worse to worser in a matter of weeks?! We got the tea.

GUEST ROLL CALL!

What does Chip Roy’s kink for destroying abortion access have him up to now? Independent journalist and Jezebel contributing writer, Susan Rinkunas, joins the pod to talk about it AND how the feds are finally looking into the infamous fetus thieves… but only because they think the Biden administration is responsible for all of it. This story is WILD!

PLUS! The incredible comedian, writer, and actor Jenny Yang is dishing about how she uses her comedy to make change, her new podcast “What Should We Talk About?” and what the Gen Zers aren’t up to these days.

It’s Vaginal Dryness Awareness Week With Shonali & Dr. Cat Duffy

info@aafront.org (Lizz Winstead, Moji Alawode-El, Dr. Cat Duffy, Shonali) — Fri, 25 Apr 2025 22:00:00 +0000

Your fav Buzzkills are talking about the trend of reclassifying things like abortion meds and birth control, and then outlawing them in the process! You know, the ol’ “make them sound terrible then use it to strip away your rights” trick. We’ve also got lots to say about the Catholic Papi's passing and what he DIDN'T do for abortion, shenanigans that are popping up out of Louisiana and which other states are hopping on the bandwagon, PLUS all of the other abobo-related news your earholes need to hear this week.

WHO ARE OUR GUESTS THIS WEEK? WE’RE STACKED.

We’re yapping with Medicaid and repro care expert, Dr. Cat Duffy of the National Health Law Program (NHeLP), about the harsh realities of what the proposed trash Medicaid cuts could mean for reproductive rights, how YOU can fight back, and how not allowing abortion in the Medicaid system is racist as hell.

PLUS, musician and comedian Shonali joins the pod to remind us that reproductive rights and abortion are PUNK AS FUCK, and gabs with us on art and disco as revolution, the power in being yourself, how she’s channeling her rage, on being detained at the border, and her incredible new album, One Machine at a Time.

Times are heavy, but knowledge is power, y’all. We gotchu.

Texas Births the Mother of All Abortion Bans With Jean Grae & Dr. Jamila Taylor

info@aafront.org (Jean Grae, Dr. Jamila Taylor, Moji Alawode-El, Lizz Winstead) — Fri, 21 Mar 2025 22:00:00 +0000

Ken Paxton is at it again—arresting a midwife and two colleagues for allegedly providing abortions—so we’re shredding him to filth and exposing the absolute horror show Texas is cooking up with its latest anti-abortion bill. And guess what? NO ONE is talking about it! We’re diving in.

But it’s not all doom! We’ve got Dr. Jamila Taylor, President & CEO of the Institute for Women’s Policy Research, breaking down their latest study on how abortion bans are reshaping the workforce—turns out, 1 in 5 people of reproductive age are relocating and demanding their employers step up on repro care.

PLUS: JOY ALERT! The one and only Jean Grae is here to kiki about their new memoir, In My Remaining Years. Friendship, mortality, creative genius—we get into it all! And we even give you something to celebrate! Colorado and Maryland? They just scored some major abortion access wins and we have all the deets you need to know.

Times are heavy, but knowledge is power, y’all. We gotchu.

It’s Abortion Provider Appreciation Week With Special Guest Co-Host Elizabeth Booker Houston & Dr. Ashley Jeanius

Sat, 15 Mar 2025 19:45:50 +0000

Hey Buzzkills!

This week’s episode is PACKED with all the action and info you need! We’re celebrating Abortion Provider Appreciation Week, and AAF is out on the road doing the important work of showing our support for the heroes who keep abortion care alive. Dr. Ashley Jeanius, OB-GYN and abortion provider, joins us to talk about how she feels celebrated during this special week and how YOU can show love and support for the providers in your life.

But that's not all! We dive into the latest battlefronts, starting with the Wisconsin State Supreme Court race—where billionaires are throwing money to protect the anti-abortion agenda. We break down the stakes and why it matters. Then, we move to Kansas, where a potential ballot initiative could radically change the state’s Supreme Court appointments, opening the floodgates for dark money to flood the system. We can’t let that happen! PLUS, we dodge a bullet when David Weldon’s CDC Director nomination gets pulled—because we weren’t about to let that disaster unfold. It’s packed with rage, real talk, and the kind of info you can’t afford to miss.

Times are heavy, but knowledge is power, y’all. We gotchu.

Tears for Thomas and Alito, Cheers for Abortion Clinics With Joyelle Nicole Johnson & Laurie Bertram Roberts

Fri, 28 Feb 2025 23:00:00 +0000

The good news trickled in this week with the Supreme Court saying hell-to-the-no to anti-abortion stalkers!! Woooohoooooo! PLUS, your Feminist Buzzkills got all the tea to fill you in on why Justices Sam ALEAKo and Ginny’s husband are throwing a tantrum about not having the opportunity to shame us further. OH and what happens when a hermit friar and two laypeople walk onto a sidewalk in front of an abortion clinic in New Jersey? Tune in and find out.

THIS WEEK’S GUESTS ARE POPPIN’! 17 states are coming for federal disability rights and the Buzzkills are raging about it. We’re joined by Executive Director and Co-Founder of the Mississippi Reproductive Freedom Fund, Laurie Bertram Roberts, AKA “The Abortion Lady of Mississippi.” She’s a dope disability rights and reproductive justice activist who’s doing huge things for the South. She yaps with us to share her own reproductive injustice story, explore the alarming movement threatening disability rights and Section 504, delve into the intersections of reproductive rights and disability rights as components of Reproductive Justice, and remind us why we can’t abandon the South.

PLUS comedian, writer and activist and our very own AAF board member, Joyelle Nicole Johnson stops by AGAIN to help us laugh through the pain of the Trumpocalypse. The Feminist Buzzkills fav hops in the mix to tells us how sharing her abortion story has empowered others, what baby crawl races are doing for her serotonin this month, meeting Ketanji Brown Jackson (eeep!), her OnlyFans journey, and why we all have to incorporate more dick dragging into our lives this year – specifically the pink ones.

Times are heavy, but knowledge is power, y’all. We gotchu.

info@aafront.org (Lizz Winstead, Leigh Finke, Mallory Johns, Rewire News Group) — Fri, 21 Feb 2025 23:00:00 +0000

Full episode transcript HERE.

Buckle up, we’ve got a banger for you! This week on Feminist Buzzkills, Lizz holds it down alone as Moji is off on a birthday vacay, so wish our favorite Pisces all the best! Missouri fucked around and found out, so Lizz drills into what the hell is going on with the “Mother of the West’s” pregnancy registry and how it’s really just a taxpayer-funded stalking site. Plus, JD Vance causes MANARCHY IN THE UK, and IVF gets a boost from the POS POTUS.

Call us, text us, we wanna help! Got Questions about the continued assault on your reproductive rights? Lizz answers a few on the show this week! But if you are freaking out about something abortion-related, THE FBK LINES ARE OPEN! Just call or text (201) 574-7402, leave your questions or concerns, and Lizz and Moji will pick a few to address on the pod!

AND LOOK AT THIS WEEK’S GUESTS! We chat with Minnesota State Rep. Leigh Finke, the first trans woman elected to statewide office and author of the Trans Refuge Bill, about her work making Minnesota a safe haven for bodily autonomy, building an intersectional future, and what allies can do for the trans movement. PLUS! Veteran journalist superstar and new Executive Director of Rewire News Group, Mallory Johns, joins to explain that we’re in this current abortion crisis because comprehensive media coverage on reproductive care has never existed(!), self-care tools for navigating toxic information, and how we need to support indie media *cough* i.e. Rewire and AAF *cough* as we fill the gap!

Times are heavy, but knowledge is power, y’all. We gotchu.

Fri, 14 Feb 2025 23:00:00 +0000

Full episode transcript HERE.

Roses are red, violets are blue, we’re ready to fuck some shit up – how about you? Nothing says “love” like living through the current soul scorchings and still showing up every day to make a difference! On this week’s pod, your Feminist Buzzkills are diving deep into Indiana gutting HIPAA for abortion patients, redefining and coming after birth control, and how some badass Indiana doctors are fighting back! What does that mean for the rest of us not living there? A whole hell of a lot! PLUS, remember that New York doctor who prescribed a pregnant person in Dallas abortion pills? Well, Louisiana and Texas are in full-on hater mode, and we’ve got some big updates on the case.

AND WE’VE GOT GUESTS! Who are our V-Day partners in crime this week? Everyone's fav witchy Valentine, Bitch is in the house! The legendary musician, writer, and performance artist sits down with your Buzzkills to yap about her new show, “B*TCHCRAFT,” moving forward in Trump's hellscape, and healing and resisting through art and community!

Valentine #2, Amy Merrill, is here too! We break down the recent flurry of assaults on medication abortion with the Co-Founder and Co-Director of Plan C. Amy helps us navigate the case of the NY doctor being sued for sending abortion pills through the mail, and how abobo patients can better protect themselves – especially as we are heading into the abortion upside down.

Times are heavy, but knowledge is power, y’all. We gotchu.

March for Life Madness 2025 With Dr. Michele Goodwin

info@aafront.org (Dr. Michele Goodwin, Moji Alawode-El, Lizz Winstead) — Sat, 25 Jan 2025 15:02:37 +0000

Full episode transcript HERE.

The first awful week ends with March for Madness – IT’S HEAVY ON THE MADNESS!

Your Feminist Buzzkils are out here using facts and belly laughs to break down the early returns of how the anti-abobo gorgons will fuck with our rights. Let’s snap you out of your facism fatigue, stat!

Every one of you is an abobo warrior, and we salute you (in a very normal human way).

Trump's first week ended with the anti-abortion mayhem known as the March for Life, AKA Unbornaroo. For 52 years they have taken over the Capital for their annual patriarchal parade of fetus worship and ovarian oppression. BUT, as always, we’ve got the play by play! We’re bringing y’all: their lies and their plans on where they will prioritize creating policy to further destroy access to abortion care. AND, joining us is Constitutional law scholar Dr. Michele Goodwin to explain the devastating blows we can expect from their shenanigans. From plans to reinstate the Global Gag rule to how Christian legal firms have spent DECADES turning the courts into dogma distribution centers, one judge at a time.

All this, PLUS, the latest on the anti-abortion “terrorists” Trump pardoned this week and all of the abobo-related news you need to know.

Times are heavy, but knowledge is power, y’all. We gotchu.

What (Oppression) to Watch for in 2025 With Jason Narducy & Tara Murtha

info@aafront.org (Jason Narducy, Tara Murtha, Moji Alawode-El, Lizz Winstead) — Fri, 17 Jan 2025 23:00:00 +0000

Full episode transcript HERE.

Your Feminist Buzzkills are BACK, BABY!! And we’ve got marching orders for the year ahead. Look, no one needs a crystal ball to know that 2025 is going to SUCK ASS. With the inauguration of the Queef-in-Chief, the confirmation of the cabinet of blunders, and the March For Life, this inauspicious start to the year bears grim tidings. As always, your Buzzkills GOTCHU on what to keep your ears and eyes peeled not just for the next 300+ days, but also the abobo tea from this week! From updates on the trash act for “abortion survivors” to which state government has proved to hate abortion the MOST. Plus, Moji unpacks just how intense the approval for medication abortion was, which should shut down the anti-abortion ass clowns–but it won’t. So we live to podcast another day.

GUEST ROLL CALL! Joining us to lay out how sham, FAKE clinics will quickly become the epicenters of evil is researcher, comms, and data guru at the Women’s Law Project Tara Murtha. PLUS, what do REM’s “Fables of the Reconstruction” and abortion have in common? Rock legend Jason Narducy hops in the mix and chats with us about his tour with Michael Shannon and how Abortion AF is a part of it all! Yes, a bunch of white guys are actually doing something cool to support abortion access!

It’s a whopper of a way to start a new year, but we’ll be here with a dose of hope and a box of abortion pills through it all.

Times are heavy, but knowledge is power, y’all. We gotchu.

Fri, 8 Nov 2024 23:22:27 +0000

Full episode transcript HERE.

First off, we love you and know you are feeling lost, afraid and targeted. You are not alone.

We’re gonna be real with you: we had a whole post-election breakdown planned with results and analysis and blah blah FUCK ALL THAT. Instead, we wanted to sit down with you, unscripted and real, offering a pod that holds space for your feelings and give you a start to regroup.

AAF OGs Kristin Hady (Programs Director and resident Extremist Whisperer) and Cara McLane (Director of Communications and AAF Adventure Planner), PLUS the brilliant journalist Jessica Valenti.

We’re leaning into our raw honesty in this moment, finding the hope, and sharing actions you can take RIGHT NOW that will keep your head out of the doomscroll and into community so we can help each other out in these terrifying times.

Jessica Valenti is our North Star! She’s the author of the NYT bestseller Abortion: Our Bodies, Their Lies, and the Truths We Use to Win and of the acclaimed newsletter Abortion, Every Day. Jessica breaks down what these election results mean for our rights in her classic real AF style–plus, she offers us an important reminder of why we fight and why hope is very much alive.

Times are heavy, but knowledge is power, y’all. We gotchu.

Abortion’s on the Ballot: Go Vote, Motherf****rs! With Torrey DeVitto & Renee Bracey Sherman

Fri, 1 Nov 2024 22:00:00 +0000

Full episode transcript HERE.

ATTENTION BUZZKILLIANS: It’s our last podcast before the possible end of Democracy, so we (plus a couple of special guests) are dropping our two cents on why y’all should be FLEXING THAT VOTER MUSCLE! Got the right to vote? GO EXERCISE THAT SHI!

AND OBVI, rage levels spiked this week as we stumbled across something called the “Aryan Nation Freedom Fest.” It’s exactly what it sounds like – PLOT TWIST: Wait till you hear how it is connected to anti-abortion maternity homes. In more exciting news – An Arizona abortion provider has found a way to legally provide abortion care to patients suffering miscarriages outside of the state’s 15-week abortion ban, and we are THRILLED to deliver this glimmer of joy and hope to your earholes.

GUEST ROLL CALL:

We got to kiki with actor, activist and philanthropist Torrey DeVitto! The womb warrior and One Tree Hill/Chicago Med/Vampire Diaries star chats with us on being LOUD AF about her activism and values, clapping back to the haters as a soon-to-be-parent for abortion access, her latest IG live series “Stream of Consciousness,” and telling her abortion story in People Magazine. PLUS! Renee Bracey Sherman, Co-Author of Liberating Abortion and Founder/Executive Director of We Testify is BACK with the Buzzkills to spill all the guts on her extraordinary, must-read book that deep dives into the history of abortion through re-centering the experiences of the Black and Brown folks who have had abortions and the leaders of the Reproductive Justice movement who continue to pave the path to bodily autonomy.

Times are heavy, but knowledge is power, y’all. We gotchu.

SO MANY MISOGYNISTS, SO LITTLE TIME! This week, we’re spilling tea on how Ron DeSATAN is preparing for November’s election by sending his doorknocking harassholes (AKA Florida cops) to scare the shit out of people who signed the abortion ballot petition. PLUS, this week laid out a Smorgasbord of Smug online and we highlight and drag the most foul of the white guy “abortion bans don’t kill people” takes. AND OMG! We’re debuting a new game this episode, muahaha!

PLUS WE’VE GOT GUESTS!! Legal genius, and Strict Scrutiny podcast co-host, Kate Shaw, digs into the nooks and crannies of Project 2025 and drops her 411 on what this dystopian nightmare would mean for abortion access. We’re asking all the Q’s and Kate’s delivering all the A’s.

Serotonin boost? Hilarious comedian, writer, and actor Zainab Johnson’s got you! The Upload and Hijabs Off (Amazon Prime) star blabs with the Buzzkills about her latest comedy special, relishing in Muslim joy, and why she decided to kick chasing perfectionism to the curb.

LIVE FROM NETROOTS NATION 2024 #3: Yes, Pro-Faith and Pro-Abortion IS A THING! With Ashley Wilson & Rev. Terry Williams

Fri, 20 Sep 2024 22:00:00 +0000

Full episode transcript HERE.

Hey there, fabulous Buzzkillians! Welcome to PART THREE of our Netroots Nation series! Remember when the AAF gang went to Baltimore earlier this summer to yap about abortion at THE coolest conference for progressive activists, AKA Netroots Nation?! The Buzzkills did three podcasts, and this is the last one in the series. It is a great episode but bittersweet because Moji got visited by La ‘Rona fairy and had to stay home, but filling in is AAF Programs Director, the incomparable Kristin Hady!

Being at Netroots meant we got awesome guests to talk to us live! Who’s Buzzkillin’ with us this week? Well, word on the block is you can be PRO-FAITH AND PRO-ABORTION! *GASP* Here to preach that good, feminist word are TWO dope guests and inspiring faith leaders whose organizations are fighting their cheeks off to evangelize the Lord AND reproductive justice while welcoming others who are interested in doing the same with open arms. Reverend Terry Williams, Faith Organizer from Faith Choice Ohio, AND the Strategic Communications Director from Catholics for Choice, Ashley Wilson, drop all of their “Pro-Faith and Pro-Abobo 101” knowledge AND deliver the reassurance that religious freedom does indeed mean exercising the freedom to believe in abortion rights!

Times are heavy, but knowledge is power, y’all. We gotchu.

ENCORE ALERT! The Feminist Buzzkills are signing off for a two week end-of-summer break!

It went a little something like this…

The Supreme Court FINALLY made up its mind on the fate of the Emergency Medical and Labor Act (EMTALA) earlier this summer, and your Feminist Buzzkills HAVE FACTS, FEELINGS, AND ANSWERS ABOUT IT!

What in the abobo hell even was the Idaho v. United States case? Why is this NOT a win and NOT enough? How did the clown justices react? How does this affect other places, like Texas? And WTF happens next?! WE CALLED IN FOR BACKUP TO ANSWER ALL YOUR QUESTIONS!

Your Buzzkills rallied together a dope lineup of EXPERTS to break it all down with us and dissect this nondecision-decision from all angles. GUEST ROLL CALL: Attorney Stephanie Toti, who successfully argued the Whole Woman’s Health v. Hellerstedt case before the Supreme Court; Idaho reproductive rights activist Jen Jackson Quintano; Idaho OB-GYN and abortion provider Dr. Caitlin Gustafson; and Ryan Hamilton, a Texas activist who has been vocal about his and his wife's experience in accessing emergency abortion care. You don’t wanna miss this one.

This episode is a good reminder of how important it is to center abortion at the ballot box.

ENCORE: SUPREME COURT UNANIMOUSLY PROTECTS MIFEPRISTONE With Chris Geidner

info@aafront.org (Chris Geidner, Moji Alawode-El, Lizz Winstead) — Fri, 9 Aug 2024 22:00:00 +0000

Full episode transcript HERE.

How do your Feminist Buzzkills pregame for a week of yapping to politicians at the DNC about the importance of medication abortion? By dropping an ENCORE PRESENTATION of our Mifepristone SCOTUS ruling episode to remind you what is at stake in this election.

MIFEPRISTONE IS HERE TO STAY… For Now. Back in June, the Supreme Court ruled UNANIMOUSLY in favor of keeping the abortion pill mifepristone available, but only because even these woman-haters had to rule that the monsters who brought this case had ZERO skin in the game. This episode covers all the anti-abobo scheming that went into get this case to SCOTUS and why the results of this election could mean a new and very scary outcome when anti abortion forces circle back and try again. AND.THEY.WILL.

Here to fill your earholes with answers to our burning questions like, “Is this all part of a bigger conservative plan to outlaw abortion?” and “Why did the Supreme Court even take this case to begin with?,” is the one and only, author, legal expert and our favorite Law Dork, Chris Geidner!

This episode is a good reminder of how important it is to center abortion at the ballot box.

Knowledge is power, y’all. We gotchu.

SUPREME COURT UNANIMOUSLY PROTECTS MIFEPRISTONE With Chris Geidner

info@aafront.org (Lizz Winstead, Chris Geidner, Moji Alawode-El) — Fri, 14 Jun 2024 22:00:00 +0000

Full episode transcript HERE.

MIFEPRISTONE IS HERE TO STAY!! For Now… The Supreme Court did a thing that we actually aren’t pissed about! This week, the Supremes ruled UNANIMOUSLY in favor of the abortion pill mifepristone! The Court rebuffed an unfounded and politically-charged challenge to the drug from anti-abortion assholes, and not even oppression’s handmaid Brett Kavanaugh took the bait. Good news can’t be celebrated without a whole lot of bitching and dragging of the anti-abobo scheming that also went down this week. Who’s on our shitlist? Some misogynist visionary clowns pulling some BS in the South, of course!

So what comes next? Is this all part of a bigger conservative plan to outlaw abortion? Why did the Supreme Court even take this case to begin with? We’ve got questions AND we brought in the best in the biz to deliver the answers. Here to fill your earholes with their knowledge is the one and only publisher, author, legal expert and our favorite Law Dork, Chris Geidner!

Times are heavy, but knowledge is power, y’all. We gotchu.

Someone Come Get Your 20ft Inflatable IUD! With Amanda Zurawski, Sarah Hester Ross & Mary Rickles

Fri, 7 Jun 2024 21:33:49 +0000

Congrats on another week of surviving and fighting the patriarchy! Get your earholes ready because this week was a doozy. I think we all know by now, what happens in Texas does NOT stay in Texas. What BS are the womb hounds that run the Lone Star State pulling now? Their new kink is to blame doctors for people being denied abortion care. PLUS, the professors at University of Texas drank the kool-aid and are suing to be able to FLUNK students who get abortions. Apparently, 2+2=WHORE!

Oh, and remember the Zurawski v. Texas case we’ve been following for over a year? Joining us to talk about what it all means and her tremendous commitment to fight for us all is lead plaintiff in the case, Amanda Zurawski. Check out a full list of their plaintiffs here. And obvi we’re gonna drag the Senate for failing to protect birth control and laugh about the 20-foot IUD erected in DC!

AND EVEN MORE GUESTS It’s the Liberace of abortion! Musical Comedian, Sarah Hester Ross, is on spirit-lifting duty. The funny AF abortion stan originally from the Sunshine State yaps with us about her special Don’t Mess With a Redhead, her fun little series “Florida Man Fridays,” and pushing boundaries talking about abortion, sexism, and queerness through her musical comedy.

PLUS! Every year, we drag our abobo-loving booties over to Netroots Nation, AKA summer camp for progressives, to broadcast live and link up with our fav radical activists from all over. What goes down there? How does Netroots elevate issues, intersectionality, and what’s so special about it this election year? Political Director of Netroots Nation, Mary Rickles, hops in to Buzzkill with us about it all.

Don’t Abandon The South With Nika Kovač, Tyler Barbarin, & Kate Willett

Fri, 31 May 2024 21:44:40 +0000

Full episode transcript HERE.

Biscuits, BBQ, and Bodily Autonomy - guess which one you won’t find in the South? We are in FULL rampage mode over the latest update out of Louisiana. The clown governor just signed into law a horrifying bill that reclassifies FDA APPROVED AND EXTREMELY SAFE abortion medications as "controlled dangerous substances." What does this mean for pregnant Louisianans? We brought in Tyler Barbarin of Louisiana Abortion Fund to unpack it all.

PLUS, Texas hits us where it hurts...TWICE. We drag the Texas Health Department for filth for replacing an actual expert on their Maternal Mortality Committee with ANTI-ABORTION fetus-worshipper, Dr. Ingrid Skop. WAIT - It gets worse! Texas Republicans reaffirmed in their party platform that the penalty for aborting any and all fertilized eggs that colonize your uterus is the DEATH PENALTY.

WE GOT MORE GUESTS!! Slovenia's very own powerhouse activist, Nika Kovač is here! The Founding Director of 8th of March Institute tells us about the My Voice, My Choice abortion access initiative, getting doxxed by the ex-prime minister, and how she's obliterating the patriarchy in Europe. WHERE THE LAUGHS AT? Comedian & Author, Kate Willett, has us laughing our nip hairs off about polyamorous horror stories, her new special "Loopholes," and being loud about abortion in her comedy!

Times are heavy, but knowledge is power, y’all. We gotchu.

Indiana Rules Abortion Is a Religious Right With Laurie Kilmartin & Tracy Weitz

Fri, 12 Apr 2024 22:51:50 +0000

The Feminist Buzzkills are in FULL rage mode this week as our heads are still spinning from Arizona’s latest assault on people with a uterus. The ghouls on Arizona’s Supreme Court ruled that an 1864 abortion ban will be enforced in less than TWO WEEKS. Plus, what does it mean when three judges agree that Indiana’s near-total abortion ban does in fact violate Hoosiers’ religious freedom?

And the anti-abobo clowns Ohio try to push a whole new pile of nonsense on their constituents. Listen to Moji and me drag it for the stank filth that it is.

Need all the deets? We got you. Need to let your primal scream out? We got you on that too.

GUEST ROLL CALL: Dr. Tracy Weitz, Professor of Sociology and Director for the Center on Health, Risk, and Society at American University in DC is Buzzkilling with us! She’s THE SMARTEST person we know when it comes to all things abortion – data, shitty policies and all. *chef’s kiss.*

PLUS! Hilarious comedian and award-winning writer, Laurie Kilmartin, who you probably recognize from “The Late Late Show with James Corden” is here! We shoot the shit with her on her new special “Cis Woke Grief Slut,” saying “abortion” on stage, disrupting the writers’ room boys club, and more!

Buzzkills from SCOTUS: Breaking Down the Mifepristone Oral Arguments with Dr. Michele Goodwin

Wed, 27 Mar 2024 20:46:02 +0000

Full episode transcript HERE.

The Feminist Buzzkills were at SCOTUS for the abortion pill, AKA Mifepristone, oral arguments with the Abortion Access Front team and some dope-ass volunteers! We took to the streets of DC with rage, force, and Beyoncé on full blast. If you haven’t heard us rant about it a million times already, our beloved LIFE-SAVING Mifepristone pill is being challenged, even though it has been FDA-approved and safely used for over 20 years!!

Didn’t get a chance to hear yesterday’s arguments? Need some clarity on WTF it all means? Well, that’s what your Feminist Buzzkills are for! Let Lizz, Moji, Dooks, and a special guest spill about all of the things that went down inside AND outside of the Supreme Court during the oral arguments.

SPECIAL GUEST ALERT! We brought in the best in the biz - brilliant author, constitutional law scholar, and Abortion Access Front board member Dr. Michele Goodwin. She sits down with us to recap the good, the bad, and the cringey of yesterday’s oral arguments. What did Justice Amy Coney Barrett say? How many slam dunks did Justice Jackson gift us? Are they going after EMTALA next? We explain that and so much more!

Times are heavy, but knowledge is power, y’all. We gotchu.

The Scare Tactics of the Anti-abortion Mob With E.R. Fightmaster & Tània Verge

info@aafront.org (E.R. Fightmaster, Tània Verge, Moji Alawode-El, Lizz Winstead) — Fri, 15 Mar 2024 21:55:20 +0000

Full episode transcript HERE.

Lizz is back! This week’s secret words are “Fightmaster” and “Catalonia” – and they’re both making this world a much doper and safer place for folks with uteruses. Your Feminist Buzzkills are ranting and raging about the anti-abortion movement’s talent for inventing fake problems to solve, and then miraculously solving them. We’re also diving hard into these clowns’ obsession with abortion coercion and spotlighting northern Idaho’s Jen Jackson Quintano, the lone abortion rights organizer holding down the fort and building an army of womb warriors.

GUEST ROLL CALL: The one and only, E.R. Fightmaster IS HERE! They rant with us on non-toxic masculinity, queer joy, how doctors and abortion activists can be more inclusive, and why everyone needs to go stream their EP Violence RIGHT NOW! PLUS, Catalonia’s very own Minister of Feminisms, Tània Verge Mestre, blesses us with her knowledge on intersectional feminist politics in Catalonia (AKA Feminist Paradise), getting a seat at the table, menstrual equity and its ties to gender and climate justice, and so much more. This is a powerful one!

Times are heavy, but knowledge is power, y’all. We gotchu.

Unraveling The Impact of Denied Abortions With Dr. Diana Greene Foster

Sat, 17 Feb 2024 00:33:12 +0000

Full episode transcript HERE.

Well, well, it’s not every day your Buzzkills are graced with a MacArthur Genius fellow, but today is NOT one of those days!

Dr. Diana Foster Greene is in the pod house talking about her award-winning research paper, The Turnaway Study, which is a comprehensive look at the harms caused by folks being denied abortion care. It is incredible.

Lizz is out on the film festival circuit with the AAF documentary No One Asked You, so our intrepid news dumper Alyssa “Dooks” Al-Dookhi is holding it down with Moji, and they are digging deeper into the biggest stories of the week.

There is righteous news from pro-choice South Carolina politicians who are trolling the menz who passed their neanderthal abortion bans. Their new bill demands the state to pay for EVERY SINGLE COST associated with pregnancy. It is the energy we need to see across all these states where barbarians mind the gate.

Also, WOOF! As if we don’t have enough to worry about, ABORTION PILL ROOFIEing IS APPARENTLY A THING.

You might wanna listen to this one with a scream pillow.

Times are heavy, but knowledge is power, y’all. We gotchu.

March for Life Madness 2024 With Kristin Hady & Grace Howard

info@aafront.org (Grace Howard, Kristin Hady, Lizz Winstead, Moji Alawode-El) — Sat, 20 Jan 2024 01:35:42 +0000

Today’s weather in our nation’s capital was mostly patriarchy with scattered showers of dude-splaining, because today was the 50th annual MARCH FOR LIFE, the country’s biggest gathering of anti-abortion dickbags! Your Feminist Buzzkills watched so you don’t have to and we are naming, shaming, exposing and dragging the whole thing for filth, just the way we always do.

Did they try to appear like compassionate and reasonable uterus-policing ogres now that they know just how much America is against them? Or did they just double down on the extremism? And what are they planning for 2024? WE ANSWER THOSE QUESTIONS and so much more.

To break it all down, we brought in one of the best in the biz, AAF’s very own Extremist Whisperer, Kristin Hady. She helps cut through all the BS and gives y’all the inside scoop on all the players involved in this year’s Oppressionpallooza.

PLUS, Dr. Grace Howard is here! Grace literally wrote the book on the Pregnancy Police, i.e. all the ways the fascists want to criminalize and control every pregnancy. We’re blabbing with her on the criminalization of pregnant people post-Roe, how there are no “havens,” and what we can do to shut down the policing of pregnant people.

Times are heavy, but knowledge is power, y’all. We gotchu.

Texas and Idaho Don’t Care if You Die. With Lauren Miller, Pamela Merritt & Emma Willmann

Fri, 12 Jan 2024 23:00:00 +0000

Full episode transcript HERE.

New Year, New Pod Episode, Same Anti-Abortion Cruelty and Inhumanity! Happy 2024 fellow abobo warriors. Lizz is out this week but we got AAF comedy genius Alyssa “Dooks” Al-Dookhi holding down the fort with Moji, and they’re serving y’all all the tea we’ve been pissed about… *cough cough* we’re looking at you, Texas and Idaho. WTF did they do this time? WTF is EMTALA? And WTF can you do about it? Fuck around, listen, and find out.

Meet Lauren Miller, one of the TWENTY-TWO women suing wack-ass Texas after being denied life-saving abortion care. She joins the Buzzkills to share her gut-wrenching horror story with us and give you marching orders on how YOU can help.

PLUS, the brilliant Pamela Merritt of Medical Students for Choice is in the house to remind us abortion ban exceptions are BULLSHIT. She breaks down everything we need to know about EMTALA and gives us the doctor’s POV on how terrifying it is to practice under these vile garbage conditions.

WHERE’S OUR SEROTONIN BOOST AT? Comedian Emma Willmann from the “Ask Men Anything” podcast pops by to deliver the laughs, gab about the wonders of Adderall and to answer that age-old question: Is it ever worth it to ask men anything?

Times are heavy, but knowledge is power, y’all. We gotchu.

The Best, Worst and Weirdest Abortion News of 2023

Full episode transcript HERE.

It's been a hellacious year in Abortlandia and on this last pod of the year, we are counting down the best, worst, AND the weirdest stories of 2023.

How Many Wonder Women Does It Take To Save Abortion? With Lynda Carter, Kathryn Kolbert, Aisha Mills & Chris Geidner

Fri, 15 Dec 2023 23:00:00 +0000

STACKED POD ALERT: What a pod we have this week, Buzzkillians! In case you missed it, the fuckwads over at SCOTUS decided to take on the mifepristone abobo pill case. WTF does it all mean? Chris Geidner, the brilliant Law Dork himself, swoops in to translate it out of dorky law words and into plain English for us. What else could possibly be getting the anti-abobo goblins’ rocks off this week? How about Missouri’s new bill charging abortion-havers with HOMICIDE? Or Illinois’ AG going total simp-mode for FAKE clinics? Don't worry, we’ll serve y’all some glimmers of GOOD NEWS, TOO!

THREE more special guests are blessing your earholes. WONDER WOMAN herself, Lynda Carter, is in the house to buzzkill about obliterating the patriarchy, her new single "Rise Up," abortion, and being a clapback queen! PLUS, we pay tribute to the beloved trailblazer and repro hero, Andrea Miller, by honoring her remarkable legacy and accomplishments with Attorney Kathryn Kolbert and NIRH interim president Aisha Mills.

info@aafront.org (Moji Alawode-El, Jessica Pieklo, Imani Gandy, Molly Gaebe) — Fri, 1 Dec 2023 22:52:22 +0000

Full episode transcript HERE.

What happens when two of our favorite abortion law experts who ALSO host their own podcast come over to guest host OUR podcast? MAGIC, BABY! This week, THE badass Imani Gandy and Jessica Pieklo from the “Boom! Lawyered” podcast co-host with Moji, and the feminist rage is on 10000! They share how their friendship was love at first tweet, what brings them hope, and how radical joy and community = POWER.

As always, we’re spilling that pipin’ hot abobo tea on everything you need to know. Like, BALLOT INITIATIVES! All these ballot initiatives we’re winning are the shit, yeah? But are they the shit for everyone? We’re delivering the answers! Oh, and remember that lawsuit in Texas? MORE people who were denied abortion joined in, and this week there were arguments at the Texas Supreme Court. What went down? We’re droppin’ the highlights. PLUS, conservatives think it’s racist to try to help Black people with Black maternal mortality. Are they full of shit again? The answer might not surprise you!

The weather outside is frightful (or maybe it’s fine where you are), but Feminist Buzzkills + the Boom! Lawyered hosts are so delightful!

Fri, 27 Oct 2023 21:59:10 +0000

Full episode transcript HERE.

IT’S SPOOKY SEASON… which seems to be a year-round theme for the anti-abortion ghouls haunting our bodily autonomy. But, no need to fear! Your zombie-slaying Feminist Buzzkills are here to drop the facts on EVERYTHING you and your uterus need to know, deliver some hope, and drop marching orders on how we can continue obliterating the patriarchy.

If things aren’t scary enough, we’re shining a light on the Gaetz of Hell, er– House of Representatives, and its new Speaker. And we expose more shady medical shenanigans from the sketchy-ass doctor who made up the medical quackery that is “abortion reversal.” OH, THE HORROR!

PLUS, remember that evil weirdo David Daleiden, who tried to ruin abortion providers’ lives with his deceptively edited videos about fetus parts? Dr. Savita Ginde was one of his victims, and she joins us to tell the whole sordid tale. AND comedian Maddie Wiener is here to make us laugh our nips off, talk about her “Phone Is In The Bag” podcast, what feminism looks like to her, AND MORE!

This week, the Feminist Buzzkills are drawing the terrifying picture of what pregnancy prosecutions look like in the US.

Catholic Hospitals Are Cannibalizing Abortion Access! With Aida Rodriguez & Vanessa Arenas

Fri, 6 Oct 2023 22:00:00 +0000

Full episode transcript HERE.

The garbage anti-abobo people of America got real busy this week, but no need to fear, your Feminist Buzzkills are here to sift through all of the hot steaming trash for y’all! Catholic hospitals are doing what they do best and gobbling up small non-religiously-affiliated hospitals. We’re also blabbing about Qatar Airways announcing it will NO LONGER do invasive gynecological exams on passengers. Hold up-- what?! Yeah, it’s a thing, and the details of this story are soooo disgusting you may wanna wear a hazmat suit when you listen. We’re breaking it all down and more including the juicy deets on Texas AG Ken Paxton suing Yelp for identifying fake clinics as…um… fake clinics. We couldn’t make this shit up if we tried.

SPECIAL GUEST ROLL CALL: The Buzzkills welcome stellar researcher and Senior Project Manager at The Society of Family Planning, Vanessa Arenas, to talk about the assault on birth control, their latest extensive study on accessing care post-Dobbs, AKA #WeCount, and why YOU should know all about it.

PLUS, the hilarious and inspirational comedian, actor, author, and Latina badass, Aida Rodriguez, is in the house buzzkilling with us about dragging the patriarchy in comedy and life, her new memoir Legitimate Kid and reminiscing about being on the battleground with AAF. Every exhale is an inspiration.

Colorado Reverses Abortion Reversal With Danielle Perez & Jas Margarita Tobon

Fri, 29 Sep 2023 22:00:00 +0000

Full episode transcript HERE.

All new podisode, all new SHIT WE CANNOT BELIEVE WE HAVE TO SAY. Colorado has taken the RADICAL position of saying you cannot take pills to reverse your abortion. Why RADICAL? Because in many of these United States, doctors are required to recommend that BS now, and the Buzzkills are here to rage and remind you that you cannot “Back To The Future” your abortion.

PLUS we’ll bring y’all up to speed on mean old Southwest Airlines and its war on innocent anti-abortion flight attendants who just want to send their colleagues candygrams full of fetus porn. It is the creepy abortion lawsuit that keeps on giving… us a rash. Oh, and some Ohioan doctors are actually in their right minds and want to protect patients– we’ve got the scoop on all that too.

And as always, we’ve got special guests! From Dicks: The Musical, the hilarious Danielle Perez is here to gently remind us that we have kinda been big ol’ ableist assholes when it comes to our abortion advocacy. (No, really.) She shares her abobo story, intersectionality and being Dominican in Los Angeles.

And how does the ONE employee at the Wild West Abortion Fund in Nevada handle getting care for everyone out there who needs a damn abortion? Jas Margarita Tobon is that one employee, and she’s spilling the whole truth about it, the challenges they face and the power of community.

Kansassholes Are Next Level! with Barry W. Lynn

info@aafront.org (Lizz Winstead, Moji Alawode-El, Barry W. Lynn) — Sat, 16 Sep 2023 00:33:16 +0000

Full episode transcript HERE.

Big pod this week, diving right in! Soooo remember how Kansas voted to protect abortion access in a landslide ballot initiative? Guess that didn’t matter to the anti-abortion babadooks in the Kansas legislature. Ever since that win, they have FOUR DIFFERENT abortion restrictions that are laughably terrifying. We are breaking down every single one of them and asking how these creeps keep getting elected when the people of Kansas voted overwhelmingly against these kinds of policies.

And all this is happening while in the same week, 12 more people just sued because they almost died without abortion access. It’s grim, but we always bring the facts, the funny, and the ways you can fight back!

PLUS, Barry Lynn from Americans United For Separation of Church and State is our guest! He’s been fighting to keep religion out of government and our underpants forEVER, and he’s dishing with your Buzzkills about his entire life of being “Paid To Piss People Off” (that’s the name of his memoirs!). This guy has been in the abortion fight from the beginning. Also, he has gossip about Dead Phyllis Schlafly.

ROE-CABULARY

Discovery- the process by which the two sides in a lawsuit exchange information about the evidence and witnesses they will present to avoid a “trial by ambush,” according to the American Bar Association, the professional association for lawyers, law students and judges.”

Fri, 8 Sep 2023 22:00:00 +0000

Full episode transcript HERE.

The Feminist Buzzkills are back from break and guess who became more progressive than the USA while we were away? MEXICO, BABY! Their blissfully Amy Coney Barrett-free Supreme Court just DECRIMINALIZED ABORTION NATIONWIDE. It’s a huge deal and on this week’s pod, Moji and Lizz are sipping margaritas and explaining HOW huge, both for our southern neighbor AND for those of us in Los Estados Unidos. We’re also catching you uterus warriors up with this fall’s abortion ballot initiative in Ohio and what the fallout will be if the Florida Supreme Court finds abortion is NOT protected in their constitution!

PLUS, we’re bringing y’all some fabu special guests, as per ushe. What’s it like being an abortion provider in Joe Manchin’s abortion-less West Virginia? Katie Quiñonez fills us in! The Executive Director of the Women's Health Centers of West Virginia and Maryland delivers the facts on what abobo access in WV looks like, the challenges they’ve faced while opening their NEW MD clinic, why fake clinics are trash and more!

AND to help us laugh through these shenanigans, the incredible comedian Emma Arnold is in the house! This hilarious TERF-slaying Idaho supermom drops all the knowledge about abortion, intersectional feminism, and... Beekeeping? Yep! You don’t wanna miss it!

Times are heavy, but knowledge is power, y’all. We gotchu.

Doctors Aren’t Safe and Red States Are Paying the Price: Live From Netroots Nation (PT. 3) With Pamela Merritt

Fri, 18 Aug 2023 22:00:00 +0000

Full episode transcript HERE.

There’s an abortion training crisis, Buzzkills, and Lizz and Moji want YOU to be informed. In this week’s episode, we get DEEP into it with the oh-so-marvelous Pamela Merritt, Executive Director of Medical Students for Choice. She’s here to educate your earholes with all the deets on how doctors and med students are fleeing states with shitty abortion bans, why EVERY med professional needs abortion training, and how dangerous this is for OBGYN care across America

Your Buzzkills also expose the latest horror story about fake clinics, which involves a pregnant woman who found out in the WORST way just how dangerous these places are and decided to fight back with a class-action lawsuit.

The awesome episode is the last one of the three we recorded live back in July at the Netroots Nation gathering in Chicago. Netroots is the largest gathering of progressive writers, activists, and organizers in America, and the Buzzkills were front and center every day, dropping our abortion knowledge in front of hundreds of attendees each day!

Hope you enjoy it!

Ohio? More Like OhiOMFG We Won! With Tara Murtha, Dr. DeShawn Taylor & Stanzi Potenza

Fri, 11 Aug 2023 22:00:00 +0000

Full episode transcript HERE.

This week’s Feminist Buzzkills pod is comin’ atcha from the winner’s circle, because all we do is win! Things may still be garbage, but on this week’s podisode, the Buzzkills stop and celebrate the Ohio voters who were asked to vote on abortion (in a really screwy way) and WON! Just like every ballot measure since the Supreme Court destroyed Roe. Newsflash: PEOPLE WANT ABORTION! We’re also freaking the fuck out about the nonsense going down in Idaho, Illinois, and Texas - Oh my!

PLUS, another triple-threat guest lineup! Pennsylvania just cut off sweet, sweet government funding to FAKE CLINICS. So we’ve got Tara Murtha, Director of Strategic Communications at the Women’s Law Project, here to make sure we understand how magnificently monumental this is. The amazing Arizona OBGYN and Reproductive Justice activist Dr. DeShawn Taylor, AKA founder and owner of Desert Star Family Planning in Phoenix, talks her new book, “Undue Burden: A Black, Woman Physician on Being Christian and Pro-abortion in the Reproductive Justice Movement.” And to bring the noise and the funny, it’s TikTok superstar and host of the “What Fresh Hell is This?” podcast, Stanzi Potenza!

Full episode transcript HERE.

It’s Lizz’s birthday week!!! Celebrate with us by filling your earholes with the angelic voices of our Feminist Buzzkills. The anti-abortion tactics have gone TOO far, so we’re raging about it. We’re also spilling the pipin’ hot tea on everything that’s gone down this week in Abobolandia, including WTF is up with the latest wack abortion laws Indiana & Idaho, some Illinois drama, and so much more.

PLUS, we’ve got all the right guests to help us muck through the muckity muck.

Iconic comedian and actor Liz Glazer drops by to get real with us on how abortion conversations need to be louder about stillbirths and miscarriages, healing through humor, her new album, and more. AND sociologist and author of “The Propagandists Playbook, Francesca Tripodi is in the house to show us exactly how anti-abortion ghouls bring their crackpot ideas from conspiracy to consensus.

Your Buzzkills Are Live From Atlanta With Baron Vaughn, Brian Unger & Atlanta Reproductive Justice Leaders

Fri, 28 Jul 2023 22:00:00 +0000

Full episode transcript HERE.

The Feminist Buzzkills did a whole-ass LIVE SHOW in ATLANTA! We didn’t want y’all to miss out on our shenanigans, so we podified it for you! We packed the house at Terminal West, a dope comedy and music venue, and fed off all the vibezzzzzzz. As always, Moji and I broke down the stories that made steam blow out of our wherevers. Fetus lawyers? Abortion reporting across state lines? It’s just as creepy as it sounds.

We also had FIVE amazeballs guests join our southern soirée. Comedian Baron Vaughn hilariously shared why he moved to Atlanta, the challenges of raising kids in this current hellscape, and why the Writers Guild of America/Screen Actors Guild strikes are something we all should care about. Plus, we had the BEST fake TV Lawyer™ (AKA Brian Unger) do a very special fake commercial! We talked with INCREDIBLE Georgia Reproductive Justice activists and abortion providers Agbo Ikor, Kwajelyn Jackson, and Inyang Njoku about all the issues in Georgia around the six-week ban, the insidious rise of fake clinics and how Cop City is a huge Reproductive Justice issue.

Times are heavy, but knowledge is power, y’all. We gotchu.

TW: Sexual Assault.

Welcome to PART TWO of the Feminist Buzzkills LIVE from Netroots Nation, AKA the largest gathering of progressive writers, activists, and organizers in America!

Somebody Somewhere Needs an Abortion With V Spehar & Jeff Hiller

info@aafront.org (Abortion Access Front) — Fri, 9 Jun 2023 21:00:00 +0000

Full episode transcript HERE.

The Feminist Buzzkills are back this week with a series of important questions, like, “Are there fetuses in the water, and is that why it’s so refreshing?” And, “If you’re cooking with fetuses, should you follow the recipe, or automatically double it like you do with garlic?” The Buzzkills have the rundown on why they cannot stop making these jokes. Spoiler: it involves anti-abortion lunatics.

Plus, this week’s show is literally overflowing with cool-ass guests (overflowing with abortion water? perhaps)! One of the hilarious stars of the HBO show Somebody Somewhere, Jeff Hiller, came by to discuss the ABCs: Abortion, Buttholes, and Christianity. TikTok megastar V Spehar helped the Buzzkills rage about the most heartbreaking abortion story of the week. PLUS! Dope activists from New York City for Abortion Rights (NYCFAR) came by to share their mischievous tips for pissing off anti-abortion protesters.

Finally, on a personal Buzzkills note, this is Marie Khan’s last show! She’ll still be in the abortion movement, just not on the Buzzkills squad. She’s not going far! Lizz and Moji give her the send-off she deserves!

They’re Anti-abortion, Anti-trans & Anti-truth With Dr. Sophia Yen & Francesca Fiorentini

info@aafront.org (Abortion Access Front) — Fri, 19 May 2023 21:59:06 +0000

Full episode transcript HERE.

Greetings fellow Buzzkillers! Moji & Marie are holding it down while Lizz is in Boulder raising money for clinics and doing a special FBK episode on this week’s Mife Oral Arguments that you should also check out!

But never fear, M&M are covering every godawful state legislature currently hurting people who need abortions which seems to be spewing out of the good ol’ South lately, but if you need proof that the right-wing war on abortion is the SAME as the right-wing war on trans folks, wait til you hear what the hell they just did in Nebraska.

Plus, just how are anti-abortion fake clinics misusing the FACE Act for their misogynistic garbage agenda? Former AAF managing director and current AAF data guru Kat Green stops by to answer that question with research and receipts she has collected from her new data and security firm, the Endora Project.

AAAAND, two other guests are here to rage with us! Co-founder of Pandia Health, Dr. Sophia Yen, is here with the FACTS you need to know! She chats with us about getting your hands on birth control, how period suppression can decrease the risk of cancer (say wha?!), the kick-ass work Pandia does, and more! PLUS, comedian/activist/yoga bitch/shit stirrer, Francesca Fiorentini, is in the house. She gets REAL AF about her activism, her podcast “The Bitchuation Room,” making her own skincare, and more.

And when you’re done filling your earholes with the angelic rage-filled voices of the Feminist Buzzkills, get your booty on over to our virtual AAF petition to save the abortion pill! SIGN IT, AND SEND IT TO EVERYONE YOU KNOW WHO CARES ABOUT UTERI.

Times are heavy, but we got you.

info@aafront.org (Abortion Access Front) — Fri, 21 Apr 2023 22:00:00 +0000

Full episode transcript HERE.

The Feminist Buzzkills are having déjà vu all over again this week, as it’s yet another Friday and we’re waiting to see what Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito is going to do to our abortion rights.

Now raise your hand if you’ve been losing your marbles over this Mifepristone abortion pill circle jerk. No need to fear, we’ve got Senior Counsel of The Lawyering Project, Tanya Pellegrini, with us to hold our hands through it. She lays out ALL the things we need to know, what comes next, and what YOU can do about it!

We’re also serving y’all the biggest and freshest abobo tea from this week. Expect a couple of bright spots, like some knowledge on an OG abortion tool known as manual uterine aspiration (cue the oooh’s and ahhh’s) and even some good news out of Nebraska!

PLUS, the funniest bitch we know, Marcella Arguello, is in the house! The FAB comic, writer, and actor supplies the laughs and the serotonin boost you need, talks about her HBO Max comedy special “Bitch, Grow Up!,” discovering her wokeness, what’s bringing her joy amongst the chaos, and why we should all stan Aida Rodriguez.

And when you’re done filling your earholes with the angelic, rage-filled voices of the Feminist Buzzkills, get your booty on over to our virtual AAF petition asking the FDA to protect mifepristone, SIGN IT AND SEND IT TO EVERYONE YOU KNOW WHO CARES ABOUT UTERI.

Full episode transcript is HERE.

SPECIAL PODISODE ALERT! This week’s pod drop is ANYTHING but regular. The abortion pill BS doesn’t seem to be stopping, so your favorite Feminist Buzzkills put together an hour-long serotonin boost for y’all. It’s a special episode featuring some incredible abobo-loving, cis dude stand-ups who recently did a comedy fundraiser for Abortion Access Front in LA, it was funny, smart and we raised some serious cash. They sat down with Lizz to talk about life, comedy and their support of abortion rights and we podified it! We know, we know – the last thing you want after a week of abortion medication pill will-they-won’t-they is MORE cis men yammering in your earhole about reproductive rights. BUT hear us out! It’s been a craptabulous week for abortion so we wanted to remind y’all that there are some pretty cool cis bro allies fighting the good fight. Oh and the cherry on top? The HILARIOUS, iconic and amazing Helen Hong kept all these guys in check, so Lizz chatted it up with her too! And when you’re done getting a much-needed recharge from this episode, get your booty over to our virtual AAF petition asking the FDA to keep Mifepristone on the shelves and accessible, SIGN IT AND SEND IT TO EVERYONE YOU KNOW WHO CARES ABOUT UTERI.

The Latest Abortion Pill Ruling Explained With Dr. Michele Goodwin

info@aafront.org (Abortion Access Front) — Thu, 13 Apr 2023 22:26:58 +0000

The “Feminist Buzzkills” podcast is dropping an extra breaking news mini- episode this week to explain what the hell the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals just did in response to Judge Matthew Kacsmaryk’s recent ruling on the (totally safe) abortion drug mifepristone. Is it a win? It is NOT A WIN. Is Kacsmaryk still the religious right’s favorite activist judge? He sure is, but this Fifth Circuit panel is giving him a run for his money.Joining the Buzzkills to clear up the confusion is one of the nation’s foremost experts on constitutional law AND a reproductive justice scholar- and law professor Dr. Michele Goodwin.

Dr. Goodwin explains the legal gymnastics the original judge and the appeals panel went through to copy/paste the arguments made by the anti-abortion doctors (and anti-abortion dentists) who brought the case.

She explains the new limits the Fifth Circuit appeals court put on the distribution of the abortion drug, and what this means for access even in states that protect abortion rights.

Surprise: turns out when anti-abortion activists said they wanted to let states decide on their own abortion laws, they were lying. Tune in to learn the facts and what you can do to fight back, start by signing this petition!

This week, on the ONLY weekly abortion podcast made by people IN the abortion field, your Feminist Buzzkills celebrate some MAJOR wins in Wisconsin! One of which includes AAF bestie, the fabulous and unstoppable Dina Nina being elected alder, making her the first openly trans woman to hold office in Madison, Wisconsin! She’s blessing us with her presence and spilling all the deets on her campaign and what changes need to go down in The Dairy State.

The Buzzkills also rage it up and serve y’all all the latest updates in the abobo world including Florida giving a big “F U” to uteri with their new six-week abortion ban. We buzzsplain why your abortion data is NOT safe and what YOU can do to protect it. We unpack the good, the bad, and all the BS in between so you don’t have to!

AND, we’ve got two other poppin’ guests! Duke Virginia, the amazing Georgia organizing coordinator of ARC Southeast, is here with the facts. They spill on all the special work ARC does, the Reproductive Freedom Act, and school us on what exactly is “Cop City” and how it’ll affect Georgia and the rest of the country. PLUS, comedian, host of the “TV, I Say” pod, and bisexual icon, Ashley Ray jumps in the mix to remind us that Black women are leading the way in writing moving TV and film portrayals of abortion. She’s talking about that, dating a flat-earther, and what shows we all need to binge.

Times are heavy, but we got you.

Trans Day of Visibility

info@aafront.org (Abortion Access Front) — Fri, 31 Mar 2023 23:31:00 +0000

Full episode transcript HERE.

Hello Buzzkilltrix!

This week, like every week, your Buzzkills play whack-a-mole with shitty anti-abortion laws and the garbage people who breathe them into existence!

HIGHLIGHTS! Idaho is doing the most trying to provide the least as they are about to become the first state to criminalize “abortion trafficking,” which is the BS scary name they came up with for helping a minor who needs an abortion get an abortion, in or out of the state. The complexities are chilling and we break it all down.

We’ll also fill you in on Mark Lee Dickson, a creepy 37-year-old anti-abortion virgin, who is traipsing across the country like some kind of fallopian troubadour, trying to convince every town in America to become a “Sanctuary City For The Unborn.”

“A what now?” You ask.

We give you the lowdown on that and the history of this one-man repro-demolitionist and drag him for absolute filth.

Also, today’s podcast drops on International Trans Day Of Visibility! As dangerous anti-trans cruelty escalates, we wanted to talk with some incredible colleagues about bodily autonomy, intersectionality, and how we can all stand with and for trans folks in our activism and our lives. We sat down with Jack Knoxville From the Trans Empowerment Project, the first trans masc candidate to run for political office in the entire southern US.

Plus, AAF BFF, from the groundbreaking series “Transparent,” we have actor, comedian, activist, and TRANDYMAN Ian Harvie! to talk comedy, trans exclusion in LGBTQIA spaces and the joy he gets from building everything from patios to catios!

Plus Molly Gaebe is here to recap this week’s big steaming pile of news!

Times are tough, but The Feminist Buzzkills keep you laughing and informed. We gotchu.

The Weirdos Are Loud

info@aafront.org (Abortion Access Front) — Fri, 24 Mar 2023 22:00:00 +0000

Full episode transcript HERE.

It’s officially spring, y’all, and we’re using this season of growth to sow those fertile seeds of abortion activism. Why do we need activism as self-care, you ask? BECAUSE OF WYOMING, IDAHO, UTAH, and all the other states that are obsessed with getting all up in our junk. How are the latest trash anti-abortion laws in these states leading to a hospital’s obstetric services being shut down and nationwide doctor shortages? Which of the dickwad Carolinas’ legislatures is inching closer to allowing the death penalty for abortion? And what happens if the Indian Child Welfare Act is overturned? Your PISSED OFF Feminist Buzzkills are here with everything you and your uterus need to know!

Obviously, we brought in another iconic special guest lineup to get this Buzzkill party going! Badass filmmaker extraordinaire Tracy Droz Tragos is here talking about her stellar documentary “Plan C,” the inspiration behind it, and answers our question: is distributing a film about medication abortion just as hard as distributing the abortion pill itself? PLUS, the fabulous and hilarious comedian Shalewa Sharpe joins us! She chats it up with us about her podcast “The War Report,” drags Atlanta’s wack “Cop City,” and cracks us up with her stories from working at a porn shop.

NEITHER HAVE WE! The judge hasn’t ruled yet, but we do have new info. We’re breaking down the latest deets on what Judge Dingleberry (AKA Matthew Kacsmaryk) has been saying and not saying. On the list for getting dragged this podisode include, but are not limited to: a whinyass dude in Texas who’s currently suing everybody and their sister because he’s mad his ex-wife had an abortion, a Virginia judge who cited slavery laws to rule that frozen embryos are chattel property, and the anti-abobo clowns who bullied Walgreens into stopping medication abortion dispensing strike again. We’re unpacking all this plus SO MUCH MORE!

Joining us in our rage-filled shenanigans are two badass guests. Doula extraordinaire and author Sabia Wade is in the house dropping her knowledge on full-spectrum doula work, her new book “Birthing Liberation,” and how compassion and inclusivity are the keys to liberation. PLUS, comedian, data scientist, and aerialist Dr. Andrea Jones-Rooy pops off about ALL the issues with peer reviews, abortion in data reporting, and dishes about their podcast “Majoring in Everything.”

Anatomy of an Anti-Abortion Bully

info@aafront.org (Abortion Access Front) — Fri, 10 Mar 2023 23:00:00 +0000

Full episode transcript HERE.

It’s Abortion Provider Appreciation Day (YAY!) so the Feminist Buzzkills are celebrating by spoiling y’all with an extra abobo-packed podisode with not two, but THREE dope special guests! We’re spilling the latest BS tea you and your uterus need to know as per ushe, including a Buzzkill Breakdown on the anatomy of the anti-abortion bullies who spend their time bullying corporations like Walgreens to cave and do their anti-abobo bidding, oh and getting our TikTok account shut down! You’re going to learn how to identify these predators and fight back! Plus, it looks like Idaho, Texas, and Florida decided to get into a pissing contest on which state legislature gets to take the shitcake for being the absolute WORST this week – Spoiler: they’re tied so far.

Here to make this pod even more FABULOUS are three cool-as-shit guests. Texas-based ICON, Dr. Ghazaleh Moayedi, OB/GYN and abortion provider with Pegasus Health Justice Center is here to chat about what influences the work they do, smacking down anti-abobo bullies, the intersection of menopause with abortion, and more! To break down the bullies in South Carolina, activist Melissa Moore sat down with Moji and Marie. They’re dropping all of their knowledge on how to include trans issues when advocating for healthcare and abortion, protest aftercare, the Black Liberation Fund, and more! And helping us exhale after this bully bonanza is the comedic hilariousness of Chase O’Donnell! She’s blabbing it up with us about her new comedy special “People Pleaser,” why she loves Zoom weddings, her quarter life crisis, and SO MUCH MORE!

So, buckle up and celebrate Abortion Provider Appreciation Day by tuning in and sharing the “Feminist Buzzkills” pod, donating to local abortion funds, and checking out our Adopt-A-Clinic wishlists HERE!

CALLING ALL WOMB WARRIORS! This week, your Feminist Buzzkills are bringing y’all a very special podisode. Another court is out here trying to destroy abortion access - shocker! The court in question? Oh, just the absolute worst little courthouse in Amarillo, Texas. Surprise: They got Roe v. Wade overturned, and now the religious right and their handpicked judges are coming for your abortion pills. How is one walking human barfbag Texas judge responsible for the NATIONWIDE fate of the beloved abortion pill, mifepristone? WTF does this ruling mean for abortion access exactly? And what can YOU do about it all? As always, WE GOT YOU. Breathe, let out your best primal scream, and tune into our hour-long pod for ALL the answers.

Our stellar panel of experts unpacks all the ins and outs of this huge federal abortion case, dropping all their knowledge about the science of mifepristone (Spoiler alert: IT’S SAFER THAN TYLENOL!), answering all of your legal questions, and delivering marching orders on what YOU can do to fight back, REGARDLESS of what Judge Boy Wonder thinks about it.

Full episode transcript HERE.

The Feminist Buzzkills are back with another episode of rage! This week in Abobolandia: Colorado, Texas, and Tennessee are in a pissing contest to see who can give the bigger F*CK YOU to uteruses. And TBH, Tennessee may or may not be taking home the dipshit award for that one. As always, we’re here to unpack and pop off about ALL the latest anti-abortion BS spewing out from the invasive misogynistic species obsessed with getting all up in your junk. Oh and subtle flex/side-note, our beloved Lizz who co-created The Daily Show will now be returning after nearly twenty years, but this time as a guest (with her favorite Galentine, Sarah Silverman, hosting). Make sure to catch Lizz in action February 13th at 11 PM ET on Comedy Central!

Joining us in wading through the muck this week is… *drumroll please* Rev. Dr. Elise Saulsberry, director of programming at the Memphis-based Reproductive Justice organization, SisterReach. She’s here to deliver first hand knowledge about how the most recent Tennessee BULLSHIT is harming folks, the amazing resources and events their org offers, and how to talk about abortion and Reproductive Justice from a faith-based perspective.

PLUS, the iconic comedian, author, podcaster and all-around polymath JEAN GRAE is here to gab about ALL the things she’s working on like her work-in-progress memoir, embracing all of the bullshit, how men are the root of all evil, and share exactly the kinds of affirmations that spark joy for a Feminist Buzzkill. What does that mean? Listen and find out!

Fake Clinics Out Here Causing Cancer

info@aafront.org (Abortion Access Front) — Fri, 3 Feb 2023 23:00:00 +0000

It’s a heavy week as we bury another Black person murdered by law enforcement. Say it with us, “It’s not bad apples, it’s a system of oppression.” So this week, the Feminist Buzzkills are breaking down how justice is also NOT being served for violence committed against abortion providers and patients. From a 72-year-old clinic escort being assaulted by an anti-abortion, misogynistic henchman who was found NOT GUILTY (shocker!) to toxic trans vaginal probes and vending machines with morning-after pills, we’re spilling ALL THE ABOBO TEA.

As always, we’re joined by fellow badasses who are tearing the patriarchy apart and protecting uteruses around the world on the daily! Diana Parker Kafka, executive director of Midwest Access Coalition (and Marie’s boss, shhh don’t tell her, this is her annual performance review!). Since the Dobbs decision has decimated abortion access, we will hear how one Midwest abortion fund has had to become a resource for abortion patients nationwide. Diana’s here to drop all these facts and chat about how they are navigating their work in this critical time.

PLUS! Hi-larious comedian, Kenice Mobley, is supplying the laughs. Fresh from her appearance on “The Tonight Show,” she’s blabbing it up with us about her new comedy album “Follow Up Question,” how she really feels about the stank, steaming hot BULLSH*T that’s been going down in the world, cumming in jars, why we should all take up baking bread, and the life and death experience that changed her forever.

The world is heavy. So, take a deep breath and fill your ear holes with the ONLY weekly podcast hosted and produced by activists who work in the abortion movement!

Arkansas: Rivers, Lakes and Abortion Is Murder

info@aafront.org (Abortion Access Front) — Fri, 27 Jan 2023 23:00:00 +0000

Full episode transcript HERE.

Arkansas, Texas, Florida - oh my! The conservative lawmakers and fetus fetishists in these states took PURE EVIL to another level these past couple of weeks and the Feminist Buzzkills are spilling the tea on all of it. PLUS, we even have some bright spots and wins for uteruses, YAY!

Last week was the anniversary of Roe v. Wade (RIP), so what better way to remind folks what we lost than with some outrageous AAF shenanigans that answers the questions on everybody’s minds: “if you show up at your state legislature in an exam gown and start asking anti-abortion politicians for gynecological care, would they warm up the speculum?- Or would they be as careless and cruel as they are when they pass shitty laws?” AAF Programs Director Max Carwile and Community Engagement Coordinator Kristin Hady showed up at the statehouse in OH and TN looking for a pap smear and join us to tell us all about what went down.

PLUS! The HILARIOUS comedian, Liz Miele is in the house to deliver a much needed serotonin boost! We’re blabbing about all things cats, therapy, and toxic positivity. This week’s show is jam-packed, so buckle up and get ready for “Feminist Buzzkills Live!,” the ONLY weekly hour-long podcast hosted and produced by activists who work in the abortion movement!

Shedding Your Uterine Lining Is Not a Party

info@aafront.org (Abortion Access Front) — Fri, 13 Jan 2023 23:00:00 +0000

Full episode transcript HERE.

Calling all womb warriors - Get ready to fill your earholes with the raging voices of your favorites, the Feminist Buzzkills! Prince Harry’s new book has dropped, and if you haven’t started calling your younger siblings “Spare” what are you even doing with your life? You know what else dropped? Another weekly dose of abobo-related BULLSHIT - and some good shit! - that you, your uterus, and uterus-allies need to know.

Last week on the pod, we hit you with some dope news: The FDA ruled that medication abortion can be dispensed at your local pharmacies AND the post office can deliver abortion pills by mail to every single state in these here UUUnited States of Amurica! It was a lot to unpack, so we’re bringing in Meg Sasse Stern, AKA the outreach coordinator over at Just The Pill, so we can learn exactly what all of it means for expanding abortion access and how YOU can spread the word about the beloved, life-saving magical beans that are abobo pills.

PLUS! What’s it like to be a non-binary Muslim comedian working in the abortion world, you ask? Your Buzzkills have EXACTLY the person to answer that question- hilarious as f*ck comedian & Abortion Access Front head writer, Alyssa Al-Dookhi! They’re sharing their INCREDIBLE latest troll of trash politicians and making us all laugh our nips off.

BTW - next week is the anti-abortion shit-gobbling weasels’ fetus-fetish-fest, AKA March For Life, so make sure you keep an eye on AAF’s socials to see how we’re clowning them.

NEW YEAR, NEW POD DROP, AND NEW BULLSHIT TO POP OFF ABOUT! Your favorite Feminist Buzzkills are back and while we are sadly disappointed that we have not been nominated for Speaker Of The House, we’re forging ahead with a stellar FIRST PODCAST OF 2023!

The queer icon and AAF bestie is Buzzkillin’ it up with us to blab about her epic radio show “Sandyland,” her feelings on the current garbage state of the world, and more! PLUS, meet law professors, Jill Lens & Greer Donley - the abobo sheroes destigmatizing pregnancy loss. They’re dropping facts on its criminalization, sharing their own experiences, squashing the BS myths on personhood, and talking about their findings from their Vanderbilt Law Review research paper.

Thanks for joining the Feminist Buzzkills for another year of taking down the garbage womb raiders trying to seize your bodily autonomy! We love y’all!

Best Interviews of 2022

info@aafront.org (Abortion Access Front) — Fri, 16 Dec 2022 23:00:00 +0000

Full episode transcript HERE.

Anyone else ready to get the f out of 2022?! The Feminist Buzzkills sure are! What better way to say goodbye and good riddance to this dumpster fire of a year than with a special recap episode highlighting three stellar interviews that went down this year. The Buzzkills are honored to pop off and rage every week with some iconic abobo warriors from all over the world who dedicate themselves on the daily to destroying the patriarchy and misogynistic dingleberries obsessed with getting all up in your junk. So let’s take a little stroll down FBK memory lane…

Remember when we had THE Peaches, as in “The Teaches of,” in the house to celebrate abortion providers, the power of pussy, and gab about her current 20th anniversary tour? How about when Mike Bonanza dropped in to tell us all about Elevated Access, AKA the dope nonprofit made up of hundreds of volunteer pilots working with organizations to fly out folks who need abortion access and gender affirming care for FREE! Oh, and what about when reproductive rights SHEro and executive director of La Women’s Equality Center, Paula Ávila-Guillen, got real with us about the recent abobo wins and ongoing fight for abortion rights in Latin America, the work that she and La Women’s Equality Center do, and more!

These were just three of the dozens of incredible interviews we delivered to your earholes in 2022. You can listen to all of our episodes to hear from so many experts and activists on the ground taking down the garbage womb raiders trying to seize your bodily autonomy. A huge thank you and shoutout to ALL of our FBK guests! We love y’all!

You Don’t Need a Reason to Have an Abortion

info@aafront.org (Abortion Access Front) — Fri, 9 Dec 2022 23:00:00 +0000

Full episode transcript HERE.

Another week fighting the post-Roe apocalypse, another hourlong pod with your beloved, fury-filled Feminist Buzzkills! The Buzzkills are Buzzkillin’ it up and serving this week’s latest steaming hot abobo tea for y’all and all the uteri out there. WHEW, What a week! Brittney Griner was freed and reunited with her wife, Herschel Walker was reunited with Texas, and the tech bros are uniting with the abobo world…? Yeah, we aren’t too sure how we feel about that one just yet.

From poppin’ off about the tech bros to dragging the delirious anti-abortion woman on a mission to end r*pe exceptions, we’re covering it all, including news that the demand for vasectomies is in fact increasing post-Roe. No, we will not be snapping or clapping for these cis men taking responsibility for once, but we do love that news!

As per usual, we’ve got another top tier lineup to bless your earholes, starting with Dr. Melissa Madera, AKA the “abortion diarist”! This versatile activist hero is dropping some major research knowledge and gabbing to us about telehealth, fighting abortion stigma, and her work with The Abortion Diary (spoiler alert: it’s the universe’s ONLY audio archive of abortion stories). PLUS! Blair Imani is in the house! The queer best-selling author, educator, and creator of the viral web series “Smarter in Seconds” dishes about how she empowers people through information, being on the board at Muslims for Progressive Values, what it’s like to be an educational influencer, her dope story of how she became co-owner of Fempower Beauty, and SO. MUCH. MORE.

Times are heavy, but WE GOT YOU.

What happens when Lizz is out of town but the anti-abortion bullshit is still hitting the fan at full f*cking speed?! We call in Renee Bracey Sherman AKA “The Beyoncé of Abortion Storytelling” and founder/executive director of We Testify, for co-host backup, DUH! This week’s episode of “Feminist Buzzkills Live!” is quite the doozy, as we cover outbreaks of Christian supremacy in Indiana and Arizona, a newly reinstated abortion ban in Georgia and more. Don’t worry, we’ve got some bright spots to cover too! The Feminist Buzzkills and Renee take out the trash, drag this week’s top misogynistic fuck weasels, raise hell, and make sure you laugh your ass-hairs off along the way.

We are spoiling y’all with another all-star special guest lineup this week with not two but THREE abortion warriors! Joining us all the way from Puerto Rico are abortion doula Camille Lauren and full spectrum midwife Maryann Colella from PR-based abortion collective, Las Mingas, which provides information, support, and accompaniment before, during, and after an abortion in Puerto Rico. We’re gabbing it up with them about the current state of abortion access on and near the island, Las Mingas’s multifaceted work to support bodily autonomy, and how YOU can help. PLUS! If that’s not enough of a treat, we’ve got Becca Rea-Tucker AKA The Sweet Feminist in the house!

Full episode transcript HERE.

Self care is: tuning in to “Feminist Buzzkills Live!”, your weekly dose of all things going down in these reproductive streets, where you also learn what YOU can do to combat anti-abortion extremism. The Feminist Buzzkills raise hell and awareness about the latest good, bad, and frankly weird shit that’s happened since you last heard our pissed off raging voices.

This week, join us in dragging fuckwad anti-abortion doctors in Mississippi who are throwing a full-on tantrum in court trying to make their shitty abortion bans even SHITTIER.No joke. This is L I T E R A L L Y in Mississippi, the state that brought about Roe’s downfall in the first place. Oh and let’s just throw in a leaked tape from an anti-abortion meeting with Tennessee’s GOP lawmakers while we’re piling on the gross. Oh, and we’ve got all the updates you need about the pro-abortion ballot initiatives Americans voted for, and which attorneys general are already trying to ignore the will of the people! And ballot initiative updates while we’re at it.

If that ain’t enough for ya, we’ve got a couple of guests that are about to rock your podworld. Have you heard about this huge abortion lawsuit in Kentucky? One of conservative Christian hardliners’ favorite kinks involves dangling religious freedom over others’ heads but keeping it all for themselves. Lisa Sobel is one of three Jewish women suing Kentucky's AG saying the state's abortion ban does just that. She and co-counsel Ben Potash are Buzzkillin’ it up with us on their amazing lawsuit.

Midterminate

info@aafront.org (Abortion Access Front) — Fri, 11 Nov 2022 23:00:00 +0000

MIDTERM MADNESS ALERT! Your Feminist Buzzkills are back with an hour-long, passion-filled, loud-ass rundown of the midterm elections. We’re unpacking everything you need to know about this clusterfuck election, from statewide to federal to ballot initiatives, and answering the question on all y’all’s minds:“What the F*CK does this all mean for abortion access?!”

Spoiler alert: WE SHOULD BE ENCOURAGED! ABORTION WON IN MANY WAYS despite the media continually telling us it’s not a priority for folks.

Blessing us with their presence are two game-changing abobo warriors and legends, who came by to celebrate the bright spots and also help us take out this week’s anti-abortion trash. Hilarious comedian, filmmaker, and writer Jena Friedman is in the house! You might recognize her from “Ladykiller,” her comedy special on Peacock, or as the creator of AMC+’s “Indefensible!” She’s buzzkilin’ it up with us about what she’s been up to, insane anti-abortion laws in places like Wisconsin, and why telling abortion jokes while pregnant became her new favorite hobby. PLUS, the sheroic Dr. Diane Horvath, co-founder and medical director of Partners in Abortion Care, a new ALL-TRIMESTER clinic in College Park, Maryland, is here! She is an OB/GYN with a Complex Family Planning subspecialty and has been a public advocate for abortion access throughout her career.

Election times are heavy, but WE GOT YOU.

Abortion Providers Put DC on Notice

info@aafront.org (Abortion Access Front) — Fri, 4 Nov 2022 22:00:00 +0000

Your “Feminist Buzzkills Live!” are doing something a bit different this week, because we’ve got a special episode for the ages! Lizz went down to Washington, DC, because a bunch of dope physicians called Obstetricians For Reproductive Justice came together November 3 in front of the Capitol for an event called #DoctorsForAbortionAccess. They were there to SPEAK OUT and deliver the message that abortion bans are hurting their patients and destroying their ability to provide good, quality care. They demanded politicians stop creating laws that incarcerate doctors, women, and people who can get pregnant, just because they need or provide abortions.

In this week’s special podcast, you’ll get to hear the messages delivered by EVERY ONE of the speakers who shared their stories. We are the only info hub carrying this event so listen up. This week’s episode is a damn good one.

Feminist Buzzkills Live: When BS is poppin’, we pop off, and so do some amazing doctors.

Like, subscribe, write a review and GIVE US ALL THE STARS!

Plus support our Patreon, because we want to be able to bring you all the dope events like this because the media is dropping the reproductive ball, and YOUR BUZZKILLS are picking it up, every damn week!

Love ya, mean it.

In need of some spooky vibes this Halloween? Your favorite pro-abobo witches, AKA The Feminist Buzzkills, got you! Lizz, Moji, and Marie are serving up all the terrifying, spine-chilling news updates from this week that you and your uterus need to know. Join us if you dare as we deep dive into such serious Roe-rror stories as: why abortion (and armpit crabs) are economic issues, how 44 percent of med students in the U.S. are NOT receiving abortion training post-Roe, and more.

It ain’t all bad though! We’ve got some treats to counter these tricks, like CLINIC OPENING ALERTS, calls to action, and some other good shit too! Plus, who are the Obstetricians for Reproductive Justice? And can Lizz actually link Justin Long to abortion? Stick around and find out!

As always, the Feminist Buzzkills are joined by a dope special guest. This week it’s the one and only Pamela Merritt, the executive director of Medical Students for Choice, where she leads a dynamic team supporting future abortion providers and pro-choice physicians in over 29 countries. She’s schooling us on all things reproductive healthcare in this Post-Roe Hell. So, buckle up for another hour of POPPIN’ THE F*CK OFF!

Full episode transcript HERE.

This week in Abobo-landia was a DOOZY. But no need to fear – the Feminist Buzzkills are here! Lizz, Moji, and Marie are back for another hour of poppin’ off. This week’s instigators of our rage include, but are not limited to, a couple of attorneys general being absolute misogynistic gremlins, Mississippi offering tax breaks for donations to anti-abortion fake clinics, and three pregnant folks having to cross state lines for abortion after being denied emergency care … And that’s not even all the courses in this dinner party from hell. At least we have a dessert course of comedy and some good news.

And who are our guests at the table this week? Hold on because it’s a DAHLIA LITHWICK ALERT! The iconic legal genius, SLATE senior editor, host of the “Amicus” podcast and author is BACK on the pod, and this time she’s spilling the tea on her new book Lady Justice: Women, the Law, and the Battle to Save America (Penguin Press), why everyone should love Pauli Murray as much as she does, and so much more. PLUS, we have comedian/writer Ophira Eisenberg, whom you may recognize as the host of NPR’s “Ask Me Another,” and who’s here to blab about her NEW hilarious podcast “Parenting Is A Joke,” doing comedy post-quarantine, and other various and sundry things!

Full transcript HERE.

Your FAVORITE weekly abobo podcast “Feminist Buzzkills Live!” is back to take out this week’s grimy misogynistic trash. While Marie is running around helping the process servers deliver Trump’s subpoena, Moji and Lizz are holding it down and bringing you all the news that’s fit to dissect, then toss in a tire fire.

What news are we covering from these reproductive streets this week? How about the arrests of 11 ANTI-ABORTION EXTREMISTS charged with violating the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances (FACE) Act. Best part: AAF research and monitoring had a hand in making that happen.

PLUS: Texas is TexASSing around, giving us more reasons to pop off, and we're also dragging Catholic hospitals for how they're silently taking over, pushing out secular hospitals and burdening us ALL with their abortion restrictions.

Plus, wait for it… MORE GOOD NEWS! From Hawaii to Indiana and – even Arizona? – a whole bunch of states are giving us big ol’ serotonin boosts this week!

This episode’s a doozy, so we called in some serious backup to break it all down with us. Joining us is Margot Channing, one of the super sleuth collective members at New York City for Abortion Rights, a feminist-socialist grassroots group that monitors the anti-abortion movement and leads direct actions for clinic defense. PLUS, serving up the laughs we all need, actor and comedy goddess Gina Brillon is here to gab it up about the sexist song she covered on AAF’s Do Re #MeToo special, being a woman in comedy, the importance of community, and her new podcast “The State of: Women” dropping next month.

Times are heavy, but we got you.

Lucky for you, the only weekly abortion podcast in existence is here to bring y’all the news, the rage, and the laughs you need. While Lizz is running around being professionally hilarious, Marie and Moji are breaking down the latest in uterus-hating garbage that’s been spewing forth from the anti-abortionist, unrisen white bread loaves who think they run this world. Your Feminist Buzzkills are gabbing it up about International Safe Abortion Day, what’s going down in the reproductive streets of Puerto Rico and Latin America, Arizona abortion bans, and why we can’t stop laughing at Texas AG Ken Paxton.

As always, we’ve got a top shelf special guest lineup joining us in popping off about any and all things abobo!

PLUS, here to charge up our serotonin levels is hilarious musician and actor Jen Kwok! Listen to us blab about how she makes music about issues that matter to her (like ABORTION), what music genre she’s about to take over next, and how hyped she is to cover a trash misogynistic song next week at AAF’s Do Re #MeToo (Tickets linked below) alongside her idol, Margaret Cho!

The Buzzkills are back together and ready to rage! Prepare your ear holes for another episode listening to the angelic voices of Lizz, Moji and Marie as they pop off about the latest patriarchal fuckery that’s been going down this week. Which states are the anti-abortion terrorists focusing their uterus-hating devilry on this week? “What’s the latest in these sun-dried turds tired-ass plots” You ask? How about putting folks who receive abortions in prison? But it’s not all dank. We have good news from the unlikely dark underbellies of Indiana and Ohio. Plus, as always, the Feminist Buzzkills are primal screaming, laughing and dragging anti-abortionist shitgobblers for filth as they break all this abobo-related BS down for y’all.

We’ve got a top-shelf special guest lineup joining us in raising hell and abobo awareness this week! Feminist warrior and musical legend, NEKO CASE, is in the house and Moji, Marie and Neko get vulnerable and extra real about abortion, gender fluidity, her music, and the post-Roe hellscape. PLUS, a couple of emergency contraception all-stars from the American Society for Emergency Contraception (ASEC) are Buzzkillin’ it up with us, too. Kelly Cleland, executive director of ASEC, is here to school us on everything emergency contraception, including IUDs - yup, IUDs! Nikita Kakkad, ASEC student advisory committee member, gabs it up with us about emergency contraception at UT Austin, how she inspires fellow students in Texas, and ASEC’s latest project, EC4EveryCampus.

OpSave Episode 1: Start Here - Let's Talk About Abortion and Reproductive Justice

info@aafront.org (Abortion Access Front) — Fri, 26 Aug 2022 22:00:00 +0000

Welcome to Episode One of Operation Save Abortion! Thank you for committing to listening to this pod series and for making a commitment to learn more, act more, fund more, and raise hell more in this fight for abortion and bodily autonomy. This is NOT a pod series you listen to while cleaning out your closet. It’s about listening with friends and utilizing the activity and discussion guide designed for each episode to deepen your knowledge. The goal is helping you discover which part of abortion activism is right for you, so you can help build and grow community.

In crafting this project, we were supported by over 60 partner organizations, and each of the five episodes features amazing experts from the reproductive health, rights, and justice movements who show us what is possible if we learn about the opportunities available and are given a road map to show up and show out.

Episode 1: "Let's Talk About Abortion and Reproductive Justice." was intentionally chosen as the premiere episode. It is pretty much your “Reproductive Justice 101” crash course. Abortion activism is just one part of this intersectional movement, so this first episode is designed to help ground your experience throughout this series and overall abortion advocacy in a Reproductive Justice Framework, making sure to center those most effected by these harmful laws, and by following Black, Brown and Indigenous leadership as we fight for bodily autonomy.

LET’S WORK!

If you have any questions, reach out to info@operationsaveabortion.com.

If you haven’t listened to Episode 1 already, please do so first! It’s your “Reproductive Justice 101” crash course. Abortion activism is just one part of this intersectional movement, so this first episode is designed to help ground your experience throughout this series and overall abortion advocacy in a Reproductive Justice Framework, making sure to center those most most effected by these harmful laws, and by following Black, Brown and Indigenous leadership as we fight for bodily autonomy.

Episode 2 is all about clinic advocacy. These providers are doing the work day in and day out to keep abortion access going. Without our love and appreciation, they’ll burn out. What does support look like? From financially supporting them with donations to buying items off of their Amazon Wishlists to escorting patients, helping with clinic repairs, to showing love with a thank you postcard, support can look a variety of ways and is key to keeping these clinics alive! So, throughout this episode, our amazing panelists are going to help you learn about independent providers, AKA the clinics doing most of the work that you may never have heard of. Show them some love below by filling out our vetting form so you can work with them in the future, checking the activist calendar, and buying them some goodies via our Adopt-A-Clinic program.

OpSave Episode 3: Patient Advocacy - Put Your Money, Time, and Privilege Where Your Mouth Is: How to Help Patients Access Care

info@aafront.org (Abortion Access Front) — Fri, 26 Aug 2022 21:58:00 +0000

Welcome to Episode Three of Operation Save Abortion! Thanks for committing to this pod series and for making a commitment to learn more, act more, fund more, and raise hell more in this fight for abortion and bodily autonomy. This is NOT a pod series you listen to while cleaning out your closet. It’s about listening with friends and utilizing the activity and discussion guide designed for each episode to deepen your knowledge. The goal is helping you discover which part of abortion activism is right for you, so you can help build and grow community.

Each of the five episodes features amazing experts from the reproductive health, rights, and justice movements.

Before you get into episode three, listen to Episode 1. It’s pretty much your “Reproductive Justice 101” crash course. Abortion activism is just one part of this intersectional movement, so this first episode is designed to help ground your experience throughout this series and overall abortion advocacy in a Reproductive Justice framework, making sure to center those most most effected by these harmful laws, and by following Black, Brown and Indigenous leadership as we fight for bodily autonomy.

Episode Three is all about patient advocacy. A lot of folks have expressed great interest in this topic and have been asking for some time now about how you can help people seeking abortion. We’d like to start off by saying that there are a lot of complexities in this area, so we put together an all-star panel made up of experts who do this all day, everyday. They will be breaking down what patient advocacy is, giving you the realities of what is needed, help guide you on how you can support the organizations who specialize in patient support, and explain why some people’s very generous and well meaning offers of a couch or “camping” can make people feel vulnerable and in turn add to the stigma around abortion care. It’s intense, but you’re doing great, so take a breath and take this at your own pace.

We know all that rage in you is just yelling, “abortion bans are f**king trash!” So, we put together Episode 4 as a guide on how to turn this rage into much needed legislative advocacy. This next episode covers the challenges we are facing legislatively and what you can do about it! Our panel is going to introduce you to ways you can help get these old ass abortion laws off the books, help folks who face criminalization for pregnancy outcomes, and how to actually say some game-changing shit to those in legislature. You’re going to leave this episode learning how to organize against these bans and you’re going to hear about the wins folks have accomplished and the steps they took to get them!

Tantric Yoga Mermaid: Live From Netroots Nation

info@aafront.org (Abortion Access Front) — Fri, 19 Aug 2022 22:00:00 +0000

Full episode transcript HERE.

“Feminist Buzzkills Live!” is broadcasting LIVE! from Netroots Nation in Pittsburgh this week, with a whole entire live audience, too! Rage and laugh with us as we raise hell and awareness on all the latest updates in the abortion world that you and your uterus need to know. Your Feminist Buzzkills are delivering the bad, the badder, and the not-so-bad news that’s been dropping in these reproductive streets. Michigan is still acting up and making headlines for the wrong reasons, while Florida is serving us a tiny sliver of a bright spot. We’re exposing Kansas’s number one sore loser, who’s got his forced-birther head stuck so far up his ass he’s willing to put his house and retirement savings on the line to fund a lost cause recount of Kansas’s recent win for abortion at the ballot box. Plus, some frauds are trying to exploit and charge pregnant folks for janky $1,500 abortions on a wack “climate-controlled” boat. Refrigerator and microwave included.

Joining us in our shenanigans this week is Aurea Bolaños Perea, the strategic communications director at COLOR Latina (Colorado Organization for Latina Opportunity and Reproductive Rights). Class is in session! Aurea’s schooling us on ballot initiatives, COLOR’s dope wins, the importance of language in the reproductive rights movement, and she’s busting myths and dropping stats on the Latinx pro-abortion community. So, listen to us doing our favorite things: running our mouths about reproductive justice and dragging anti-abortion shitbrain goblin dickpuffins for filth! The world is heavy right now, but we got you.

Full episode transcript HERE.

Another Friday, another new drop of Abortion Access Front’s “Feminist Buzzkills Live!” pod. As always, we are bringing y’all a knockout lineup of guests to hop in our Buzzkill shenanigans. Karishma Oza, director of patient services at the DuPont Clinic in Washington DC, AKA one of the few clinics in the country that provides all-trimester abortion care, chats with us about second- and third- trimester abortion myths and breaks down all the ways you can show someone getting an abortion emotional support.

PLUS, legendary actor, comedian, and cat/dog/plant momma Margaret Cho stops by! Listen to us blab about what her queer ass is up to, why we wish we could be her cats and how everything that’s good is gay. Period.

And of course we’re running our mouths about the abobo news! From fetuses being accused of floating around in uteri like they’re on a fucking magic carpet, to the best and worst states to have and raise a baby, and some bright spots for you this week too! Pro-abortion wins are being sprinkled all over, from Wyoming to Texas to Montana, California, and Vermont! It’s a heavy show today, but it’s all necessary to break through the abortion stigmas that hang around like farts from your ex.

Full episode transcript HERE.

IT’S ABORTION ACCESS FRONT’S AND LIZZ’S BIRTHDAY! The Feminist Buzzkills are here to celebrate by poppin’ off about this week’s latest anti-abortion BS that spews from the invasive misogynist species who refuse to get out of everybody’s junk. Don’t worry, though! The abortion gods must’ve heard it was Lizz’s birthday, because they made it rain some not-so-shitty news this week too. From clerics suing over Florida’s fucked up abortion law, to President Biden FINALLY saying “abortion,” to a Michigan judge extending their order barring enforcement of the state’s dusty old 1931 anti-abortion law, we are serving up some major seratonin boosts for you and your uteri. Expect a deep dive into Kansas’s latest abortion win and what we actually think about it. Also, who wants to talk about the new fake clinic, bar and grill, miniature golf course and shame spa going up in Corpus Christi, Texas? We do!

PLUS, joining us this week is the ICONIC Judith Arcana, AKA one of the original, legendary Chicago Janes, who bravely helped women get safe abortions before Roe! She’s blessing all of us with her stories of what it was like to form the Janes, the obstacles and danger they faced, how they shaped the blueprint that abortion activists use today. And she’s our questions about the incredible HBO documentary The Janes! Do yourself a favor and stream it. You’re welcome.

P.S. Don’t forget to show Lizz and AAF some birthday love by donating HERE!

Have You Tried Turning Your Manhood Off and On?

info@aafront.org (Abortion Access Front) — Fri, 29 Jul 2022 22:00:00 +0000

Full episode transcript HERE

This week marked a WHOLE MONTH since Roe was murdered by the patriarchal cult of brainless, conservative, little dick energy nutbags, AKA SCOTUS. And guess what? Thousands of uterus protectors are still getting shit done on the ground, on the internet, even at home with their Operation Save Abortion toolkits! Here to get it done in the pod world, are your Feminist Buzzkills with another new episode of Abortion Access Front’s “Feminst Buzzkills Live!” podcast. Marie is out being the SuperShero that she is, but Lizz and Moji are holding it down and bringing y’all ALL the tea on this week’s latest anti-abortion BS from the invasive misogynistic species obsessed with getting all up in your junk.

Joining us straight from the ground at Operation Save America’s (OSA) National “Foundations of Anti-Abortion Shit-Flinging Fuckers” Event in Nashville, are two groundbreaking, iconic, abortion warriors and the co-founders of We Engage, Kim Gibson and Derenda Hancock! These two incredible activists were also leaders of the Pink House Defenders, the clinic escort group that helped patients and providers and the Jackson Women’s Health Organization, the Mississippi clinic that was the plaintiff in the infamous Dobbs Case that overturned Roe V Wade in June. They took a break from disrupting OSA’s attempt of “restoring their manhood” to gab it up with us about their kick ass organized action called Jezebel Rebellion against Christian Extremists, the insane anti-abortion BS they’re seeing in Nashville this weekend, and MORE!

PLUS! Abortion Access Front’s very own hypocrite hunter and bad guy security analyst, Kat Green, is hopping in the mix to expose and talk lots of pipping hot crap about the lame ass anti-abortionists who can’t seem to just leave folks with wombs alone.

Operation Save Abortion

info@aafront.org (Abortion Access Front) — Fri, 15 Jul 2022 22:00:00 +0000

Abortion Access Front’s Operation Save Abortion weekend has arrived! What better way to pregame than with a whole new “Feminist Buzzkills Live!” pod drop. Moj and Marie are out getting their summer wedding fix, but don’t worry, Lizz won’t be blabbing solo this week. We called in some serious Roe-or-Die reinforcement to deliver the scoop on all the latest anti-abortion BS from the invasive misogynistic species trying to get all up in your junk. Assisting in our weekly ritual of popping off are FOUR legendary, game changing, ass-kicking, pro-abortion renegades. Drumroll please…

Kicking us off to talk the latest repro news is the author of Handbook for a Post-Roe America and operations director of the West Alabama Women’s Center, Robin Marty! She’s also poppin’ off about the (lack of) accessible healthcare options in Alabama, and rave about ELLA, the “souped-up emergency contraception” YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT.

PLUS! Think Beyoncé is the best thing the South gave us? Think again. Powerhouse interim executive director of ARC Southeast, Jalessah Jackson, and new executive director of the National Network of Abortion Funds, Oriaku Njoku, are dropping knowledge on us about abortion care in the South and why using a Reproductive Justice framework for your abortion activism is the way you build sustaining power.

AND! If that ain’t enough for you, we’ve got comedian, leader of the band Tigers and Monkeys, and co-host of the We Don’t Even Know podcast, Shonali Bhowmik in the house! She’s getting real with us about grief, finding the joy in the chaos, and more!

The world is heavy, but we got you!

FINAL ROLL CALL: Operation Save Abortion weekend has arrived! Registration closes tonight, Friday 7/15, at 11:59 PM ET. It’s not a march, it’s your training day. Can’t make it? Have no fear! AAF will be posting ALL the toolkits and sessions online so you can get your activism on, anytime, anywhere.

Patriarchal Turducken

We’re two weeks into the Roepocalypse and surprise, surprise, the conservative sun-dried turds against abortion are STILL burning down America AND still being evil as balls trying to hijack our uteri. How many total abortion bans went into effect this week? What’s happening to abortion clinics and funds? Who the fuck is trying to force 10 year old rape victims to be moms? And is there ANY good news surfacing amongst this chaotic shitshow? (Spoiler alert: there’s some bright spots!) Your favorite Buzzkills from Abortion Access Front’s “Feminist Buzzkills Live!” podcast are here to pour y’all some piping hot bodily autonomy tea and deliver ALL the answers and updates on this week’s latest anti-abortion BS from the invasive misogynistic species trying to get all up in your junk.

Helping us bulldoze through this week’s bullshit are two special, iconic, womb warrior guests! First, we’ve got THE Beyoncé of Abortion Storytelling and founder and executive director of We Testify, Renee Bracey Sherman, here to blab with us about two of our favorite things: abortion and shitting on the Dems and Biden! She’s dropping her knowledge on who the actual leaders of the abortion rights movement are (hint, it’s people who have had abortions), the power of storytelling, how language around abortion needs to change (“camping,” we’re looking at you), and the dope origins of We Testify and what they’re doing for folks who have abortions.

PLUS! The hilarious, whacktose intolerant comedian and co-host of Betches Sup Podcast, Milly Tamarez, is in the house! How has she been coping with all the shit that stays spewing out of America’s misogynistic henchmen’s mouths? By trolling and bullying these lame clowns, DUH! Listen to us talk shit about Eric Adams and chat up about our most recent hobbies, period-piece binges, urban planning, and more!

ROLL CALL: T-minus NINE days until Operation Save Abortion, don’t forget to sign up. It’s not a march, it’s your training day.

‘Cause you know us, when BS is poppin’, we pop off!

info@aafront.org (Abortion Access Front) — Fri, 1 Jul 2022 21:18:06 +0000

We are one week into the Roepocalypse and even more pissed. A whole lot of bullshit has been spewing out from almost half of the states this week and your Buzzkills are breaking it all down for you. How many clinics are closed? Which state bans are being challenged and reopened? Who is actually showing up as an ally? We cover all of it in this episode, plus we even have some unexpected bright spots for you!

Here to help us get through the BS are two Roe-rriors who are kicking these patriarchal dickpuffins’ asses on the daily! First, we’ve got Mike Bonanza, the executive director of Elevated Access, AKA the dope nonprofit made up of hundreds of volunteer pilots working with organizations like Midwest Access Coalition to fly out folks who need abortion access for FREE! Is this real life? YUP, and Mike is here to explain it all to us.

PLUS! Hilarious, amazing, talented, abortion evangelist Busy Philipps is in the house with part two of our interview! She dropped in to talk all things abortion, how the entertainment industry needs to step their shit up for abortion representation, and so much more. She got so real with us, we broke her interview up into TWO PARTS, baby! Catch part one in last week’s episode.

The world is heavy right now, in between all the raging and fighting against the patriarchy, so show yourself some extra love. You are not alone. We got you!

ROLL CALL: Don’t forget to sign up for Operation Save Abortion. It’s not a march, it’s your training day. Follow @AbortionFront on all socials: we’ll keep you one step ahead of the garbage womb raiders trying to seize your bodily autonomy.

NYC ACTIVISM ALERT: NYC for Abortion Rights is leading a counterprotest tomorrow (7/2) at 8 a.m. at the Basilica of Old St. Patrick’s (Mott & Prince). More details HERE!

SCOTUS IS TRASH: We Have Thoughts and Actions

info@aafront.org (Abortion Access Front) — Fri, 24 Jun 2022 21:49:06 +0000

WELCOME TO THE WORST FUCKING DAY IN OUR LIVES. The Roe-pocalypse has arrived. SCOTUS is trash. This morning, the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade and decimated the right to abortion in the United States. Take a deep breath and hold on tight, because “Feminist Buzzkills Live!,” the official podcast of Abortion Access Front, is here to rage and gear you up for the post-Roe world. We’ve got resources for you, calls to action, community, hope, and, as always, comedy to spike those serotonin levels. Plus, we’re bringing you ALL the OTHER latest anti-abortion BS of the week, as if the death of Roe wasn’t enough. This episode is a space to primal scream, cry, plot, unite, and laugh your ass off. The floor has fallen out — that was Roe —but the Feminist Buzzkills have plans, and you’re a part of them.

Here to help us get through the BS are two womb warriors who have been putting in the work for as long as we’ve known them. First off, we have one of our favorite legal minds, abortion genius and OG AAF podcast host Ashley Gray, senior advisor of state policy advocacy and strategic partnerships at the Center for Reproductive Rights! She’s joining us to fume over Roe’s murder, explain what this post-Roe dystopia will look like in a year, and lay out what we can all do about it.

PLUS! Hilarious amazing abortion evangelist Busy Philipps is in the house and bringing some much needed pro-abortion joy! She dropped in to talk all things abortion, what she’s been up to, raising kids in this hellscape we’re all living in, and so much more. She got so real with us, we broke her interview up into TWO PARTS, baby! Catch part two on our next episode.

The world is heavy right now, in between all the raging and fighting against the patriarchy, so show yourself some extra love. You are not alone. We got you!

Richard Spencer Is on Bumble

info@aafront.org (Abortion Access Front) — Fri, 17 Jun 2022 21:07:04 +0000

Two out of the three Feminist Buzzkills are back this week! While Marie is off being an abortion access supershero and working her ass off for the wombs, Lizz & Moji are holding it down at the rage cave and have a whole platter of BS to pop off about with y’all! “Feminist Buzzkills Live!” the Abortion Access Front Podcast is here to bring you all the information on the latest anti-abortion BS and the invasive misogynistic species trying to get all up in your junk. From white nationalist Richard Spencer catfishing as a “moderate” on Bumble (LOL) to Ted Cruz’s crusty, dildo-hating, punchable face making a special appearance at the latest conference held by PAAU (Progressive Anti-Abortin Uprising, AKA the fetus thieves) where he tries to convince everyone he gives a fuck about anyone… he doesn’t FYI to the 23 states with conservative, shit-flinging, misogynists as governors who aren’t just forced birth fetishists, but forced poverty fetishists too. The Buzzkills are here to expose, drag, and read them all for the hot, reeking filth that they are.

PLUS! This week we’ve got our beloved special guest, the one and only hilarious, badass, AFF stan, Dina Nina! She’s here to get real with us about the toxic masculinity that plagues comedy (and just about everything), to remind us that this is a hot find your joy summer, and share deets on her new drug of choice!

SPECIAL EPISODE: BRO v. WADE

info@aafront.org (Abortion Access Front) — Fri, 3 Jun 2022 22:11:01 +0000

Abortion Access Front finally gave an answer to the question asked by so many men: “How can us dudes support abortion rights?” The answer: RAISE MONEY FOR US, dammit! So, we did exactly that! On May 22nd, at The Bell House in Brooklyn, we threw BRO V. WADE: FUNNY DUDES. RAISING CASH. FOR ABORTION. It was an evening of guys being hilarious and supporting Abortion Access Front, just as God intended. Our very own Feminist Buzzkill, Lizz Winstead, hung out backstage and interviewed six of stand up comedy’s funniest guys and asked them all the things about the current shitstorm clusterfuck dystopia the wombs of America are plotting to obliterate. This is a Feminist Buzzkills Live! special episode you don’t want to miss!

Who are these six fabu, hilarious, abortion-loving bros in arms gabbing it up for the next hour and twenty minutes? This special pod drop features David Cross (I’m From The Future, “Arrested Development”), Dave Hill (The Pride Of Cleveland), Dean Obeidallah (SiriusXM), Jon Glaser (“Parks And Recreation”), John Fugelsang (SiriusXM), and Josh Gondelman (head writer, “Desus & Mero”). The world is heavy as f*ck right now folks, but these laugh your ass off dudes are sprinkling some support and comedy on it all - and Lizz is here to keep them all in line!

I Regret My Abortion Ban

info@aafront.org (Abortion Access Front) — Fri, 27 May 2022 21:25:00 +0000

Say it with us - FUCKLAHOMA! Who else’s jaw is still on the ground from all the BS spewed out at uteri this week? The Abortion Access Front Podcast is here to rage & bring you all the information on the latest anti-abortion BS and the invasive misogynistic species trying to get all up in your junk. From Oklahoma’s total abortion ban to the treatment (or shall we say, the aggressive LACK of) of miscarriages in Alabama, the Feminist Buzzkills are spilling all the abortion related tea with the help of three special guest Roe-rriors.

This week, we’ve got Dr. Leah Torres, the director of patient care and programs of West Alabama Women’s Center and author of this frightening article on how doctors are turning miscarriage patients away for fear of persecution. She’s here to answer all our questions on the fucked up lack of treatment for Alabama patients experiencing a miscarriage. Aimee Arrambide, the executive director of Avow Texas is in the house dropping all the knowledge on the scary amount of influence city councils have over abortion access, good and bad. Plus, she fills us in on what it was like to talk about abortion access for six hours in front of Jim Jordan and Matt Gaetz (it ain’t fun) and how Avow is making the post-Roe world a little less scary for folks with uteri.

It’s heavy, friends, but the wickedly hilarious Helen Hong came by to recharge our serotonin levels after this shitstorm of a week. Helen spent the pandemic stealing her dog’s xanax, dating doomsday preppers, getting trapped into becoming her sister's baby daddy, and recording a comedy special that drops May 31st (linked below). She’s getting extra real with us about her own abortion story, all the things going down in her life, and her plan for world domination! Buckle up, this convo is gonna go wherever it wants to go!

WHAT. A. WEEK!!! We are still drunk from the Madison Cawthorn goodbye party and barely have any vocal chords left from primal screaming with our AAF squad out in these NYC reproductive streets last weekend! “Feminist Buzzkills Live!” The Abortion Access Front Podcast is here to rage & bring you ALL the information on the latest anti-abortion BS and the invasive misogynistic species trying to get all up in your junk. This week, we’ve got y’all with a DOUBLE DROP! This episode is delivering all the good and bad news that spewed out this week along with two very special badass Roe-rriors. In addition to this hour of our pissed off fuming angelic voices, we’ve got an extra minisode dedicated to our very loud feelings and opinions about the sheer batshittery that was a six hour hearing before the U.S. House Judiciary (or shall we say, douche-iciary) on the leak, abortion access, and post-roe America.

Joining us is Poonam Dreyfus-Pai, Deputy Director of All-Options, an organization that provides judgment-free support for pregnant and parenting people who need resources for abortion, adoption, or the children they already have. Poonam assists us in popping off about the shameful AF baby formula shortage, fills us in on the magical safe space that is All-Options, how they are making the world a little less scary for folx with wombs, and how YOU can get involved!

PLUS! Here to sprinkle some comedy on this anti-abortion shit cake is the hilarious AAF stan, Aparna Nancherla, from the Amazon hit shows “Yearly Departed” and “Search Party'.” She’s hopping in to bless us with laughs, talk about what she’s been up to, and to rage out about all the garbage going on in the world!

SPECIAL MINI-SODE: Your Uterus Is a Criminal

info@aafront.org (Abortion Access Front) — Fri, 13 May 2022 21:15:00 +0000

SURPRISE MINI-SODE ALERT! F**k a moment’s rest Amirite? Feminist Buzzkills were gonna take a break this week, but pffft. With all this anti-abortion shit hitting the fan, we whipped up a special pod drop to rage with y’all. There is so much to unpack and mere mortals cannot do it alone so we invited Roe-iier and reproductive legal big brain Stephanie Toti to pop off with us. Stephanie is the senior counsel & project director over at The Lawyering Project- AND BTW She argued AND WON the 2016 landmark Supreme Court abortion case, Whole Woman’s Health v Hellerstedt. She & her team of badass attorneys continue fighting other unconstitutional state laws around the country, including this latest Texas trash bounty hunter six week law. She offers all the guidance we need right now as we try to unpack the legality of the current shitstorm we are all being dragged through.

Roe Is Dead: Here’s What You Can Do About It

info@aafront.org (Abortion Access Front) — Fri, 6 May 2022 21:19:00 +0000

WELCOME TO THE FUCKING WORST WEEK EVER: The Roepocalypse has arrived. “Feminist Buzzkills Live!” The Abortion Access Front Podcast is here to rage & gear you up for the post-Roe world. This is our longest, spiciest, most pissed off pop off yet! As always, we’re bringing you ALL the information on the latest anti-abortion BS and the invasive misogynistic species trying to get all up in your junk. This week brought us the worst uteri news in the last 59 years – SCOTUS leaked their draft to overturn Roe, Oklahoma & Louisiana are acting TF up, minors are basically forced into a twisted version of Wipeout: Abortion Access For Teens Edition, uteri are being assaulted & robbed more than ever & shit all over the country is scary, but WE GOT Y’ALL! This episode is a space to rage, primal scream, cry, plot, unite, and even laugh your ass off. It’s okay for Roe to be the floor, the Feminist Buzzkills have plans.

Here to help us get through the BS are the best in the bizz. Our favorite legal minds and abortion geniuses, Imani Gandy & Jessica Mason Pieklo of Rewire’s Boom! Lawyered Podcast, are here to fume over the SCOTUS draft leak with us, guide us through what comes next, and lay out what YOU need to do about it. Plus Rosann Mariappuram of Jane’s Due Process joins us to break down the repulsive lack of abortion access for teens, what a judicial bypass is, & how we can help make this anti-abortion world less scary for pregnant minors.

If that ain’t enough for y’all, we’ve got the hilarious comedian who you may recognize from their latest film on Hulu, Crush, Jes Tom! They’re hopping in the mix to get real with us & help lighten the mood by cracking us up through this shitstorm of a week. They’ll also chat with us about their solo show “Less Lonely” at the Bell House in Brooklyn on May 14th, ticket link below!

Let’s Start Calling It ‘LAHOMA, ‘Cause They Are Not “OK”

“Feminist Buzzkills Live!”, the Abortion Access Front podcast, is here to deliver! As always, we’re bringing you ALL the information on the latest anti-abortion BS and the invasive misogynistic species trying to get all up in your junk. This week, NOklahoma tried to drown Texas in their never ending pissing contest, and passed a six-week abortion ban that reeks of nonsense and unconstitutional BS. Texas & other anti-abortion states are still being ghoulish, restricting abortion healthcare from medical professionals’ training and education. Soon they wont even know what a vagina looks like.

PLUS, three’s a party! The Buzzkills welcome Cece Caruso and Imani Wilson-Shabazz of Plan C Pills to lay out how exactly Plan C helps guide folks to abortion pill resources, and how you should spread the word about abobo pills. Use this as your friendly reminder to stock up ASAP.

If that ain’t enough for y’all, we’ve also got hilarious comedy queen and AAF board member Joyelle Nicole Johnson! She’s here to assist us in popping off and is dishing the deets on her comedy special on Peacock, Love Joy, AND her album Yell Joy. What can’t this woman do?

Follow @AbortionFront on all socials – we’ll keep you one step ahead of the garbage womb raiders trying to seize your bodily autonomy.

‘Cause you know us, when BS is poppin’, we pop off!

“Feminist Buzzkills Live!” The Abortion Access Front Podcast is here with episode 18 and we’re bringing you ALL the information on the latest anti-abortion BS. This week, the breaking news is coming in hot and at 100. With the help of three special guest abobo warriors, we’re popping off about the good, the bad, & all the BS in between that you & your uterus need to know about!

The misogynistic Texas rep Chuckie doll, aka Briscoe Cain, threatened abortion funds with cease and desist letters and posted them to Twitter. So badass supershero Wendy Davis said f*ck that & filed a lawsuit against TX SB8. One of her lawyers, Tanya Pellegrini, is here to spill the tea! + WTF just went down in Kentucky?! A judge just blocked KY’s shitty total abortion ban. Erin Smith, executive director of Kentucky Health Justice Network, joins us to drop all the knowledge on what this means for the only two providers in the state & pregnant Kentuckians, what YOU can do about it, and what happens next.

PLUS if that ain’t enough for y’all, we’ve also got comedian, actor, writer, & overall abobo badass queer icon D’Lo in the house! We’re chatting with him about his upcoming summer solo show and more!
