“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!

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

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.

Patriarchy doesn’t take a holiday & neither do your Feminist Buzzkills. @AbortionAcessFront gifting y’all with a juicy one this week! In episode 4, we remember our beloved feminist hero, Bell Hooks, who carved the space for conversations like the ones we share with y’all every week as well as graciously gave & taught us so much. May she rest in power and in our love. Talk shit with us about a certain extremist trend that needs to die already – “sanctuary cities for the unborn,” watch us gift each other the PERFECT gifts *wink wink,* PLUS multi-hyphenated comedian, author, producer, self-proclaimed shiny things lover (she really does it all) @GinaYashere is here to talk to us about racism, sexism, and her memoir Cack-Handed.

We’ll be streaming live on our YouTube every Thursday at 4pm ET & dropping our FBK Pod on all podding platforms every Sunday at 9am ET. When BS is poppin’, we pop off!

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!

The anti-abortion ghouls are ghouling this week and the Feminist Buzzkills are exposing and Buzzkilling! WHERE DO WE BEGIN?!
