This week, the Feminist Buzzkills are drawing the terrifying picture of what pregnancy prosecutions look like in the US. Spoiler alert: Pregnancy-related prosecutions have been happening in the US forEVER and are happening NOW. Not in the future. NOW. In the US of A. Let that sink in. Some bright spots? There’s some accountability happening for all the awful sidewalk harassment going down outside of clinics in Kansas, South Carolina & Tennessee! We’re covering it all plus more.

WHO’S OUR SHINING BADASS ABOBO WARRIOR GUEST THIS WEEK? It’s none other than policy guru over at the National Latina Institute for Reproductive Justice, Elizabeth Estrada. She pops in to talk about the recent National Partnership for Women and Families study that exposes the facts of what abortion bans and challenges to access look like for the Latinx community across the country, and to blab about intersectionality, the HEAL act, and more!

Times are heavy, but knowledge is power, y’all. We gotchu.
