Fetuses in Space and Kitties in Catios

Full episode transcript HERE.

Another Friday, another new drop of Abortion Access Front’s “Feminist Buzzkills Live!” pod. As always, we are bringing y’all a knockout lineup of guests to hop in our Buzzkill shenanigans. Karishma Oza, director of patient services at the DuPont Clinic in Washington DC, AKA one of the few clinics in the country that provides all-trimester abortion care, chats with us about second- and third- trimester abortion myths and breaks down all the ways you can show someone getting an abortion emotional support.

PLUS, legendary actor, comedian, and cat/dog/plant momma Margaret Cho stops by! Listen to us blab about what her queer ass is up to, why we wish we could be her cats and how everything that’s good is gay. Period. 

And of course we’re running our mouths about the abobo news! From fetuses being accused of floating around in uteri like they’re on a fucking magic carpet, to the best and worst states to have and raise a baby, and some bright spots for you this week too! Pro-abortion wins are being sprinkled all over, from Wyoming to Texas to Montana, California, and Vermont! It’s a heavy show today, but it’s all necessary to break through the abortion stigmas that hang around like farts from your ex.

OPERATION SAVE ABORTION: In case you missed out on the training day we’ve been blabbing about nonstop, you can still join the 10,000+ womb warriors fighting the patriarchy by clicking HERE for your toolkit, marching orders, and more!
