Full episode transcript HERE.


The Feminist Buzzkills are having déjà vu all over again this week, as it’s yet another Friday and we’re waiting to see what Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito is going to do to our abortion rights. 


Now raise your hand if you’ve been losing your marbles over this Mifepristone abortion pill circle jerk. No need to fear, we’ve got Senior Counsel of The Lawyering Project, Tanya Pellegrini, with us to hold our hands through it. She lays out ALL the things we need to know, what comes next, and what YOU can do about it! 


We’re also serving y’all the biggest and freshest abobo tea from this week. Expect a couple of bright spots, like some knowledge on an OG abortion tool known as manual uterine aspiration (cue the oooh’s and ahhh’s) and even some good news out of Nebraska!


PLUS, the funniest bitch we know, Marcella Arguello, is in the house! The FAB comic, writer, and actor supplies the laughs and the serotonin boost you need, talks about her HBO Max comedy special “Bitch, Grow Up!,” discovering her wokeness, what’s bringing her joy amongst the chaos, and why we should all stan Aida Rodriguez. 


And when you’re done filling your earholes with the angelic, rage-filled voices of the Feminist Buzzkills, get your booty on over to our virtual AAF petition asking the FDA to protect mifepristone, SIGN IT AND SEND IT TO EVERYONE YOU KNOW WHO CARES ABOUT UTERI. 


Times are heavy, but we got you.
