Calling all womb warriors - Get ready to fill your earholes with the raging voices of your favorites, the Feminist Buzzkills! Prince Harry’s new book has dropped, and if you haven’t started calling your younger siblings “Spare” what are you even doing with your life? You know what else dropped? Another weekly dose of abobo-related BULLSHIT - and some good shit! - that you, your uterus, and uterus-allies need to know. 


Last week on the pod, we hit you with some dope news: The FDA ruled that medication abortion can be dispensed at your local pharmacies AND the post office can deliver abortion pills by mail to every single state in these here UUUnited States of Amurica! It was a lot to unpack, so we’re bringing in Meg Sasse Stern, AKA the outreach coordinator over at Just The Pill, so we can learn exactly what all of it means for expanding abortion access and how YOU can spread the word about the beloved, life-saving magical beans that are abobo pills. 


PLUS! What’s it like to be a non-binary Muslim comedian working in the abortion world, you ask? Your Buzzkills have EXACTLY the person to answer that question- hilarious as f*ck comedian & Abortion Access Front head writer, Alyssa Al-Dookhi! They’re sharing their INCREDIBLE latest troll of trash politicians and making us all laugh our nips off. 


BTW - next week is the anti-abortion shit-gobbling weasels’ fetus-fetish-fest, AKA March For Life, so make sure you keep an eye on AAF’s socials to see how we’re clowning them.
