Customer Reviews
Roe, Roe, Roe your boat
Listening to you now drag on Roe, having not watched it. Aren’t you two making money talking trash that you don’t need to? I can hear the “act” in your voices and today I find it so painfully safe and easy for you. Whether a person regrets or doesn’t regret getting an abortion shouldn’t be the basis of its legality. Being broke, needing money, and taking some to say whatever is a sign of the challenges many women face - that they shouldn’t have to. Think - I can’t pay for my home and these anti-abortion people can pay it. It’s not like pro-choice supporters were taking care of her as a precious symbol of women’s rights. Dragging her through your filter of high and mighty doesn’t help women’s rights to comprehensive healthcare. Feel free to prove me wrong - get to it. I haven’t watched it either, don’t plan to, I do think it gives a few new points to pro-choice than it had and at a time when it needs it. I promise to up my rating another day but this grates today.
Smart, fun, and healing
This pod has become my sanity in this weird time. I’m so glad I made the hop from other crooked pods. These women bring so much to the table. Smart analysis with an eye on women’s issues. Funny commentary. Healing words from honest whole-hearted voices.
Teleworking at home, sheltered in place with two small kids, I could use an episode a day. This whole pod is my Sanity Corner. Thank you, ladies. 💛💛💛
Excellent
It was painful to hear Holly struggling re: Biden vs Reade. I imagine many women are struggling with that.i've been patiently waiting to let the chips fall where they may. Hysteria had a deadline. The women who contribute to this podcast always deserve to be heard.
