Your Feminist Buzzkills are BACK, BABY!! And we’ve got marching orders for the year ahead. Look, no one needs a crystal ball to know that 2025 is going to SUCK ASS. With the inauguration of the Queef-in-Chief, the confirmation of the cabinet of blunders, and the March For Life, this inauspicious start to the year bears grim tidings. As always, your Buzzkills GOTCHU on what to keep your ears and eyes peeled not just for the next 300+ days, but also the abobo tea from this week! From updates on the trash act for “abortion survivors” to which state government has proved to hate abortion the MOST. Plus, Moji unpacks just how intense the approval for medication abortion was, which should shut down the anti-abortion ass clowns–but it won’t. So we live to podcast another day.  

GUEST ROLL CALL! Joining us to lay out how sham, FAKE clinics will quickly become the epicenters of evil is researcher, comms, and data guru at the Women’s Law Project Tara Murtha. PLUS, what do REM’s “Fables of the Reconstruction” and abortion have in common? Rock legend Jason Narducy hops in the mix and chats with us about his tour with Michael Shannon and how Abortion AF is a part of it all! Yes, a bunch of white guys are actually doing something cool to support abortion access!

It’s a whopper of a way to start a new year, but we’ll be here with a dose of hope and a box of abortion pills through it all.

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