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! She’s Buzzkillin’ it up with us about her new book “Baking By Feel,” how she uses baking for abortion justice, our mutual love for butter and casseroles, and more!


Times are heavy, but WE GOT YOU.


OPERATION SAVE ABORTION: In case you missed out on the training day we’ve been blabbing about nonstop, you can still join the 10,000+ womb warriors fighting the patriarchy by listening to our five-part OpSave pod series clicking HERE for your toolkit, marching orders, and more.
