    ENCORE: Boom! Buzzkilled: Microdosing the Roepocalypse With Imani Gandy & Jess

    Follow along with slideshow visuals HERE.   ENCORE ALERT! The Feminist Buzzkills are out on a 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. We’re dropping an ENCORE POD EPISODE of when we collabed with the iconic “Boom! Lawyered” hosts Imani Gandy and Jess Pieklo IN DC and broke down SCOTUS’ Medina v. Planned Parenthood South Atlantic arguments back in April. It went a little something like this…   ATTENTION BUZZKILLAHSSSSS! WE DID A LIVE THING – in DC! Yep. Your “Feminist Buzzkills” joined forces with the “Boom! Lawyered” pod for an epic live show!   After getting word that SCOTUS was hearing a case that could result in eliminating any healthcare provider from Medicaid payments if they provide abortion, we geared up for battle for one super-sized show with the amazing “Boom! Lawyered” hosts Imani Gandy (Rewire Editor-at-Large) and Jess Pieklo (Rewire Senior Vice President, Executive Editor.) We break down what this case means, and fill you in on all the outrageous tricks clown lawmakers across the country are playing trying to destroy access to reproductive care. It was a packed show full of rage and shenanigans and the DC crowd LOVED IT!    This episode unpacks the arguments in Medina v Planned Parenthood South Atlantic, a case that could upend Medicaid beneficiaries ability to enforce their rights under the public benefit program all because conservatives hate abortion. We get into the history of efforts to kick Planned Parenthood out of the Medicaid program, the bad faith arguments made by conservatives to the Court as they try to do so again, and how a bad decision in the case could impact way more than access to abortion.   Recorded LIVE at the Black Cat in DC, we gotta give a huge shout out and special thanks to the Black Cat crew for making the space for our loud asses AND for everyone who showed up! Tune in for the legal brilliance, the laughs, the knowledge, and some actions you can take to be the change you wanna see in this world.    Times are heavy, but knowledge is power, y’all. We gotchu.    Scared? Got Questions about the continued assault on your reproductive rights? THE FBK LINES ARE OPEN!

About

Welcome to Feminist Buzzkills! - The weekly podcast from Abortion Access Front. Hosted by Lizz Winstead (The Daily Show co-creator, comedian, and founder of Abortion Access Front ) and Moji Alawode-El (writer, activist, marketing guru Abortion Access Front). 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!
