    MICRODOSING ABORTIONS With Missy Dabice & JP Pritchett

    It’s the Eve of Halloween and the week was full of creepy crawlies! Like Billy Corgan slithering into our timelines with the white man horror classics. This week’s abobolandia news is putting the “trick” in trick-or-treat: the Assman-In-Chief has ordered all his minions running for office to stand down any plans related to stripping abortion access until after the midterms. Have no fear! Lizz and Moji are gonna fill you in on A BIG ABORTION story that is simmering on the back burner at the EPA! You need to hear this if we are gonna fight back when they come at us with big White Walker energy.   GUEST ROLL CALL:   OH MY RAGE! It’s Missy Dabice from Mannequin P***y! The lead vocalist and guitarist unpacks the lore behind the band’s iconic name and gets real as f**k with the Buzzkills about middle aged rage for the freaks, the emotional toll of turning your fury into art, and being LOUD, proud, and unapologetically pro-abobo. So embrace your inner freak and let that primal scream RIP.    PLUS! What do you get when you mix the most badass trans- and queer-owned, sex-positive adult store with badass, unapologetic mutual aid support? SMITTEN KITTEN, BABY. We’ve got JP Pritchett in the house! The sex educator and founder/owner of Smitten Kitten, AKA Minneapolis’ dopest dildo store fighting fascism on the daily, is gabbing it up with Lizz and Moji about HoleGate (yes, you read that right), vaginal atrophy, embracing your kink, and all of the amazing mutual aid Smitten Kitten has provided for immigrants, queer, and vulnerable folks creating a literal blueprint for how to show up in the world. Y’all, the revolution does indeed come with batteries included.   Times are heavy, but knowledge is power, y’all.

    ENCORE: Courts in Our Shorts: Abortion Pill on Trial

    ENCORE ALERT! If you’ve been anywhere near us lately, you know we’ve been VERY busy yelling about mifepristone. Lizz and Moji have been MIA from the podosphere the last couple of weeks because our badass team at Abortion Access Front just wrapped up the Mife Stories Project in DC, a 24-HOUR mifepristone storytelling marathon, where we joined some incredible leaders in the pro-abobo movement to read aloud the real stories of people who have accessed this medication and wanted to share their truth. Because while the anti-abortion movement keeps doubling down on the same tired lies and misinformation about mifepristone, we’re gonna keep drowning that b******t out with the voices of the people who actually use it. So, since Mife is VERY much on the brain, we’re bringing back our episode breaking down the Louisiana v. FDA hearing from September. Here’s how that hearing went down…   Last month, the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals heard arguments in Louisiana v. FDA, the case that could decide whether mifepristone remains available through telehealth, pharmacies, and the mail. If ya didn’t know, for the last YEAR The Boot State has been obsessing over giving access to the abortion pill mifepristone the boot. So you best believe the Buzzkills dove head, nose, ears, and tatas-first into the f*****y of the oral arguments so you don’t have to! Lizz and Moji break down all the legal jargon, courtroom chaos, the standing question, the “irreparable harm” claims, and what may happen next. Because if anti-abortion extremists are trying to turn one state’s ban into everyone’s problem, you deserve to know exactly how.    PLUS! The amazing folks at ProPublica dropped some tragic knowledge – deaths from ectopic pregnancies have DOUBLED since the Dobbs decision. And we are pissed. Oh, and remember that craycray surrogate case we’ve been tracking and blabbing about? WELL, it just got nuttier. We couldn’t make this shit up even if we tried.    Times are heavy, but knowledge is power, y’all. We gotchu.    OPERATION SAVE ABORTION: You can still join the 10,000+ womb warriors fighting the patriarchy by clicking HERE for past Operation Save Abortion trainings, your toolkit, marching orders, and more.   HOSTS: Lizz Winstead IG: @LizzWinstead Bluesky: @LizzWinstead.bsky.social Moji Alawode-El IG: @Mojilocks Bluesky: @Mojilocks.bsky.social   NEWS DUMP: Surrogate Who Had Baby Against Parents’ Wishes Pulls Supreme Court Into High-Profile Custody Fight McKenna West Sued by the Father of Her Biological Child Alleges She’s Not ‘Mentally Stable’ Ectopic Pregnancy Deaths Have Nearly Doubled.

    Courts in Our Shorts: Abortion Pill on Trial

    Earlier this week, the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals heard arguments in Louisiana v. FDA, the case that could decide whether mifepristone remains available through telehealth, pharmacies, and the mail. If ya didn’t know, for the last YEAR The Boot State has been obsessing over giving access to the abortion pill mifepristone the boot.

    ENCORE: Shenanigans at the 5th Circus Court With RaeShandra Lias & Nikki Sapiro Vinckier

    ENCORE ALERT! The Feminist Buzzkills are off for a much needed end-of-summer break! But, no need to fear! We’re leaving y’all with some extra brain juice to keep you company while we’re offline. One thing about us: we will ALWAYS do THE MOST to protect medication abortion. So, in honor of that, we’re dropping an encore episode from May, when we tried to make sense of the mifepristone case headed to the Fifth Circuit.   If you’re not already familiar with Louisiana v. FDA or need a refresher on WTF is going on, this is the perfect catch-up episode. WHY YOU ASK? Because Sept 9th is the next hearing at the Fifth Circuit on this case, we’ll be dropping a brand-new episode breaking down the oral arguments and what they could mean for the future of medication abortion. Basically: consider this your mifepristone case homework. The episode went a little something like this…   Lizz and Moji have been chugging Imodium the last seven days as they follow the twists and turns of the Fifth Circus Court ruling that created a federal ban and put the mail distribution of the abortion pill mifepristone on the chopping block. Between Sam Alito giving us a week of reprieve to dial back our panic to 23/7 and the FDA assessing the fate of abortion medication using a debunked “study” (really just a forced-birth fever dream scribbled on fishwrap), we were already hanging by a thread. Then Oklahoma decided to do the absolute most by funneling money to FAKE clinics. So yeah, you’re gonna need an emotional support drink, spliff, snack, or whatever survival instincts you have left for this episode.   GUEST ROLL CALL: We had to call in backup for this one! We are joined by Michigan-based OGBYN PA-C, Author, and Creator, Nikki Sapiro Vinckier – the ultimate reproductive health sherpa! Nikki is going to talk about her new book, “We Deserve More,” her latest citizen-led repro win in Michigan, and guide us through EVERYTHING that is happening to access to medication abortion right now. Can we still get pills? How do we get pills? What pills can we still get? Will Sam Alito give me pills? WE NEED ANSWERS, AND NIKKI IS DELIVERING!   PLUS! THE ONE AND ONLY, RaeShanda Lias is here and queeeeer, babay! The absolutely fabulous Digital Creator & Diversity Advocate joins the Buzzkills to fill our joy cups back up by making us laugh, reminding us that Black queer love is indeed thriving, talking to us about clapping back online, her new podcast, and checking the board about RFK Jr. being absolute trash. You’re welcome. Times are heavy, but knowledge is power, y’all. We gotchu.    URGENT ACTION: Share Your Medication Abortion Story Now!

The Feminist Buzzkills are out on a summer break, but we know your earholes need a pro-abobo fix – so we GOTCHU!    GUEST ROLL CALL: Remember the story of the Indiana OB-GYN who, just days after Roe v. Wade was overturned, performed a LIFE-SAVING abortion on a 10-year-old CHILD who was turned away for care by the state of Ohio back in 2022? WELL, your Buzzkills brought in that AMAZING provider who stays fighting the good fight in and around the Hoosier State. Dr. Caitlin Bernard, Indiana-based OB-GYN and Assistant Professor at Indiana University Medical School, joins the Buzzkills to yap about the growing-up-in-a-hippie-commune to becoming-a-doctor pipeline and the devastating impact of USAID cuts. She also gets real about the exodus of OB-GYNs and med students from states with bans and shares what it means to provide abortion care in a state with a near-total abortion ban where anti-abobo cuntservatives are coming for providers. Sometimes hope looks like a doctor who refuses to quit and instead keeps fighting like hell. PLUS!

    Another week, another weekly dose of your fav podcast, and international abortion hellscapes are just where it starts! Your Buzzkills explore the fatberg of s****y reactions to Massachusetts expanding abortion access, plus a short trip to the land of magical anti-abortion thinking, AKA a place where people (mostly white dudes) ask questions no one wanted answered, like: What if we decriminalized rape so people could get fewer abortions, since states only allow abortions in “exceptions” like rape? PLUS! We’ll sprinkle on a sliver of good news, update you on the surrogate story from hell, and unpack questions people ACTUALLY want answered like, “What the actual f**k iz “Operation Pangea?”    GUEST ROLL CALL: What happens when an OB-GYN from the Beaver State gets an RV? Reproductive healthcare hits the road. Portland’s Dr. Mary Fariba Afsari — board-certified OB-GYN and certified badass — is bringing care to rural Oregon and the Pacific Northwest with FemForward Health, her mobile clinic. She joins the Buzzkills to talk Massachusetts ditching its gestational abortion ban, healthcare reform, and her must-read memoir, Labor: One Woman’s Work.   PLUSSSSS! SOUND THE ALARM AND HOLD ONTO YOUR STRAP! The one and only PEACHES is back on the pod!

These hilarious and brilliant experts on all things abortion, break down the weekly news from patriarchy’s evil trilogy of misogyny, white supremacy, and anti-abortion extremism. They make sense of all the madness, by digging in hard with policy experts, leaders in the reproductive health, rights, and justice movements, and the activists working on the ground. Bonus-You’ll get info on what you can do to fight back!!! And because it’s a podcast from The Daily Show co-creator, we have the best comedians and musicians poppin’ in to pop off, plus plenty of scathing commentary and satirical sketches that put all these sexist ass clowns on blast. Let’s do this! Scared? Got Questions about the continued assault on your reproductive rights? THE FBK LINES ARE OPEN! Just call or text (201) 574-7402, leave your questions or concerns, and Lizz and Moji will pick a few to address on the pod!
