Have no fear! Lizz and Moji are BACK this week and bringing you a big beautiful breakdown of all the ways the Big Bullshit Bill is coming for our abortion rights, even when abortion isn’t explicitly mentioned… because why not be as sneaky as possible, amirite? AND we spill the tea on this week's crop of anti-abortion schemes to ruin our reproductive lives. 

 

GUEST ROLL CALL!

FBK bestie Pamela Merritt, Executive Director of Medical Students for Choice, is in the house to talk about what demonizing DEI and closing rural hospitals means for med students and overall healthcare disparities. Spoiler alert: it ain’t great.

 

PLUS!! Here to lift our pro-abort spirits is none other than Iranian and Muslim political comedian and host of the Fake The Nation pod, Negin Farsad!! She yaps with us on what brings her joy, staying positive, and fighting TF back. You won’t want to miss Negin lay out exactly what’s got her boob sweat boiling these days!
