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.

Times are heavy, but WE GOT YOU.
