Description
Full episode transcript HERE.
This week’s Feminist Buzzkills pod is comin’ atcha from the winner’s circle, because all we do is win! Things may still be garbage, but on this week’s podisode, the Buzzkills stop and celebrate the Ohio voters who were asked to vote on abortion (in a really screwy way) and WON! Just like every ballot measure since the Supreme Court destroyed Roe. Newsflash: PEOPLE WANT ABORTION! We’re also freaking the fuck out about the nonsense going down in Idaho, Illinois, and Texas - Oh my!
PLUS, another triple-threat guest lineup! Pennsylvania just cut off sweet, sweet government funding to FAKE CLINICS. So we’ve got Tara Murtha, Director of Strategic Communications at the Women’s Law Project, here to make sure we understand how magnificently monumental this is. The amazing Arizona OBGYN and Reproductive Justice activist Dr. DeShawn Taylor, AKA founder and owner of Desert Star Family Planning in Phoenix, talks her new book, “Undue Burden: A Black, Woman Physician on Being Christian and Pro-abortion in the Reproductive Justice Movement.” And to bring the noise and the funny, it’s TikTok superstar and host of the “What Fresh Hell is This?” podcast, Stanzi Potenza!
Times are heavy, but knowledge is power, y’all. We gotchu.
