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!

Ken Paxton is at it again—arresting a midwife and two colleagues for allegedly providing abortions—so we’re shredding him to filth and exposing the absolute horror show Texas is cooking up with its latest anti-abortion bill. And guess what? NO ONE is talking about it! We’re diving in.

But it’s not all doom! We’ve got Dr. Jamila Taylor, President & CEO of the Institute for Women’s Policy Research, breaking down their latest study on how abortion bans are reshaping the workforce—turns out, 1 in 5 people of reproductive age are relocating and demanding their employers step up on repro care.

PLUS: JOY ALERT! The one and only Jean Grae is here to kiki about their new memoir, In My Remaining Years. Friendship, mortality, creative genius—we get into it all! And we even give you something to celebrate! Colorado and Maryland? They just scored some major abortion access wins and we have all the deets you need to know.

Times are heavy, but knowledge is power, y’all. We gotchu.
