Ep 15Expose Fake Clinics!

E

Abortion Access Front’s Feminist Buzzkills Pod is droppin’ BS like it’s hot! Though states run by conservatives are obsessively copy-catting Texas’s anti-abortion laws, this episode somehow has more good news than all previous 14 episodes combined. AND we’re exposing all these fake ass clinics coming for your uterus! Spoiler alert: there are about 750 reproductive health centers in America that actually offer abortions. Meanwhile, there are about 3,000 fake clinics trying to swipe your bodily autonomy. Tara Murtha of The Women’s Law Project hops in to share her research on these fake clinics (a.k.a. Crisis Pregnancy Centers a.k.a. CPCs) and expose the weird ways anti-abortion fools use them to track people. She breaks down the terrifying truths of the “Dystopian Frontier of Surveillance” for people with uteri and explains why you should never trust someone who calls themselves a “care agent.”Plus, hilarious multi-hyphenate queen, comedian, author, podcaster, and cat mom Leighann Lord, is here to talk about her nerd status, her Showtime special (Even More Funny Women of a Certain Age) and how she exposes the trifecta of racism, sexism, and ageism in her comedy sets. ‘Cause you know us: when BS is poppin’, we pop off!Follow @AbortionFront on all socials – we’ll keep you one step ahead of the garbage womb raiders trying to get all up in your junHOSTS:Lizz Winstead @LizzWinsteadMoji Alawode-El @MojiLocksMarie Khan @MjKhanSPECIAL GUESTS:Leighann Lord @LeighannLordTara Murtha @TaraMurtha (Twitter)SPECIAL GUEST LINKS:Tara Murtha’s WebsiteTara Murtha’s CPC StudyWomen’s Law ProjectLeighann Lord’s WebsiteLeighann Lord on Showtime’s Even More Funny Women of a Certain AgeLeighann Lord’s podcast: People With ParentsFOLLOW US:Listen to us ~ FBK PodcastInstagram ~ @AbortionFront Twitter ~ @AbortionFront TikTok ~ AbortionAF Facebook ~ @AbortionFront YouTube ~ @AbortionAccessFrontDONATE HERE!VOLUNTEER WITH US HERE!ADOPT-A-CLINIC + WISHLIST HERE!HYPOCRITES UNMASKED HERE!EXPOSE FAKE CLINICS HERE!See you next week!FBK Live on YouTube ~ Thursdays at 4PM ETFBK Pod ~ Sundays at 9AM ETWhen BS is poppin’, we pop off!

This week’s Abortion Access Front’s Feminist Buzzkills Pod’s spotlight is on abobo supershero, Amy Hagstrom Miller. The CEO & founder of Whole Woman’s Health Alliance is here to drop her knowledge on all things Texas, including what this hellish 6-week ban dystopia has been looking like for pregnant folx & providers during the 6 months it has been in effect, + she updates the Buzzkills on her lawsuit against Texas’ grotesque abortion bounty hunter law. To top all that off, she shares some exciting news for people with uteri in the Twin Cities of Minneapolis & St. Paul! Then, in “honor” of Women’s History Month, the Buzzkills will host an “author” who’s written a book on women in history who achieved great things all while on their periods. We have questions…And of course, they’ll cover the latest news from the well-traveled intersections of reproductive rights and misogyny.
