Hi john,

It’s our favorite time of the year- Pride!! 
We’ll be spending the month (and every other day of the year) basking in all of the queer love going around, raging and fighting against the increasing hate and violence, and living off the tears of every anti trying to “take the rainbow back.” Spoiler alert- ain’t gonna happen. 

In NYC? You can Kick Off Pride Week in Person with Us! 
We’re doing a LIVE Feminist Buzzkills podcast full of some of our fave queer abortion stans like comedian Jeff Hiller, from Somebody, Somewhere, TikTok icon V Spehar, from Under The Desk News, and absolute badass activists Saffie and Henny from NYC for Abortion Rights! Find your tickets here and join us for a hilarious night of fun!

Pro-Life? More Like No Life!
Y’all may want to sit down for this one. We’re still reeling from the sheer (predictable) audacity of Tennessee legislators who banned abortion in the name of “babies” and “protecting women,” but whose legislation ACTUALLY ended up forcing one Tennessee woman into an UNWANTED HYSTERECTOMY because her doctors didn’t know if they could provide her the abortion care she needed! Unfortunately, we don’t think they’ll care about the awful irony of their policies being directly responsible for removing her ability to have any future children. “Pro-life,” they say? Bet. 

Heritage Foundation: Hate Abortion, Hate The Troops
If there’s one thing you can count on, it is definitely for the garbage Heritage Foundation to back grossly unpopular bullshit, like paying for actual billboards thanking Alabama Senator Tommy Tuberville for blocking HUNDREDS of military appointments. Why, you ask? So he can throw a temper tantrum over travel reimbursements and allowed leave taken for abortion care. How dare the military trust their people to make their own decisions, amirite?

Anyway, if you really don’t want rat king orgs like Heritage getting a say in your healthcare decisions, click that button below and find a way to help!
