Say it with us - FUCKLAHOMA! Who else’s jaw is still on the ground from all the BS spewed out at uteri this week? The Abortion Access Front Podcast is here to rage & bring you all the information on the latest anti-abortion BS and the invasive misogynistic species trying to get all up in your junk. From Oklahoma’s total abortion ban to the treatment (or shall we say, the aggressive LACK of) of miscarriages in Alabama, the Feminist Buzzkills are spilling all the abortion related tea with the help of three special guest Roe-rriors.

This week, we’ve got Dr. Leah Torres, the director of patient care and programs of West Alabama Women’s Center and author of this frightening article on how doctors are turning miscarriage patients away for fear of persecution. She’s here to answer all our questions on the fucked up lack of treatment for Alabama patients experiencing a miscarriage. Aimee Arrambide, the executive director of Avow Texas is in the house dropping all the knowledge on the scary amount of influence city councils have over abortion access, good and bad. Plus, she fills us in on what it was like to talk about abortion access for six hours in front of Jim Jordan and Matt Gaetz (it ain’t fun) and how Avow is making the post-Roe world a little less scary for folks with uteri.

It’s heavy, friends, but the wickedly hilarious Helen Hong came by to recharge our serotonin levels after this shitstorm of a week. Helen spent the pandemic stealing her dog’s xanax, dating doomsday preppers, getting trapped into becoming her sister's baby daddy, and recording a comedy special that drops May 31st (linked below). She’s getting extra real with us about her own abortion story, all the things going down in her life, and her plan for world domination! Buckle up, this convo is gonna go wherever it wants to go!
