Full episode transcript HERE.


This week, the Feminist Buzzkills go deep on a whole lot of sketchy shit spewing out of Texas including an OG anti-abortion law most people don’t know about that requires medical professionals to report ALL KINDS OF THINGS as “abortion complications,” even things that have literally nothing to do with abortion. A North Carolina rep flips on abortion, Louisiana legislature doesn’t give a flying fuckaroo about human decency, Alabama & Missouri are acting up, and so much more. PLUS: Lizz is challenged to link Wu-Tang to abortion! 

You don’t want to miss this.


Helping us wade through all the highs, lows, and in-betweens are two amazing guests! The hilarious and iconic Irene Tu Buzzkills it up with us. She chats about being provocative, Big They Energy, Taylor Swift, and how to deal with the haters! PLUS, it’s Sex Ed for All Month so we brought in the best in the biz. Christine Harley, CEO of SIECUS, to get us up to speed on comprehensive sex ed that is truly inclusive, affirming, and also advances reproductive justice!


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, SIGN IT AND SEND IT TO EVERYONE YOU KNOW WHO CARES ABOUT UTERI. 


Times are heavy, but we got you.
