Your Buzzkills break down why the anti-abortion playbook is still in full swing. OH, and Missouri voters CLEARLY said yes to abortion rights in 2024, but what’s conservative lawmakers latest stunt in their obsession to undo it? Tune in for the snark, the facts, and the side-eye all of this week’s trash anti-abobo news deserves.

Yes, you heard us right – LABIAHEAD. PLUS! The incredible Dr. Karenne Fru, an Atlanta-based OBGYN and fertility expert, is in the house to talk about the intersections of IVF and abortion care because Reproductive Justice means fighting for ALL reproductive options!

Anti-Abortion Science: The Grift that Keeps on Grifting With Jenny Yang & Susan Rinkunas
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.
Times are heavy, but knowledge is power, y’all. We gotchu.
