CALLING ALL WOMB WARRIORS! This week, your Feminist Buzzkills are bringing y’all a very special podisode. Another court is out here trying to destroy abortion access - shocker! The court in question? Oh, just the absolute worst little courthouse in Amarillo, Texas. Surprise: They got Roe v. Wade overturned, and now the religious right and their handpicked judges are coming for your abortion pills. How is one walking human barfbag Texas judge responsible for the NATIONWIDE fate of the beloved abortion pill, mifepristone? WTF does this ruling mean for abortion access exactly? And what can YOU do about it all? As always, WE GOT YOU. Breathe, let out your best primal scream, and tune into our hour-long pod for ALL the answers.

Earlier this week, as part of our Operation Save Abortion series, Abortion Access Front called in backup from the best in the abobo biz. Our stellar panel of experts unpacks all the ins and outs of this huge federal abortion case, dropping all their knowledge about the science of mifepristone (Spoiler alert: IT’S SAFER THAN TYLENOL!), answering all of your legal questions, and delivering marching orders on what YOU can do to fight back, REGARDLESS of what Judge Boy Wonder thinks about it.

So, buckle up, fill your ears with the outraged soundwaves of the Feminist Buzzkills pod, and gear up to get your #OperationSaveAbortion on!
