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!

Times are heavy, but we got you.
