Hi john,

Happy Friday! It’s your weekly Abortion AF email reminding you you’re not alone! We’re gonna hold hands and get through it together, so LFG! 

We’re Pretty Sure This IS The Bad Place

RFK Jr., the actual Kennedy conspiracy theory, is a one-man pandemic – a mandemic, if you will. We are seeing waaay too many, “But he’s gonna ban micro plastics and red dye!” apologists, so here’s your reminder that while that is good, we can’t let it overshadow the damage he is committed to doing! Don’t forget how he feels about the cervical cancer vaccine, Gardasil! Holy vaginal warts, Batman – this dude drops lies like it’s hot!  

Good news is our AAF Fact Checker-In-Chief, Dooks, made this video to SET THE RECORD STRAIGHT!

Fake News: Scotland Season!

Vice Bootlicker JD Vance finished his Piss Off The EU Tour, giving a rousing speech about America’s number one export: bullshit. Vance has his kilt in a wad because Scotland enacted a new safe zone that protects abortion clinics from harassment. In his speech, Vance claimed that Scots who live near abortion clinics in a buffer zone received letters from the government warning them that prayer in their homes may be breaking the law! The Scottish government fired back with, “receipts or it didn’t happen,” and to the surprise of literally no one who has even a single ounce of sense, no receipts were produced because, say it with us – IT DIDN’T HAPPEN!

New Feminist Buzzkills Episode: Drops TODAY!

Buckle up, we’ve got a banger for you! This week on Feminist Buzzkills, Lizz holds it down alone as Moji is off on a birthday vacay, so wish our favorite Pisces all the best! Lizz drills into what the hell is going on with Missouri’s pregnancy registry, and how it’s really just a tax payer funded stalking site.

We Got Guests!

We’ll be chatting with MN State Rep. Leigh Finke, the first trans woman elected to statewide office, about her work making Minnesota a safe haven for bodily autonomy. PLUS veteran journalist and new Executive Director of Rewire News Group, Mallory Johns, joins to explain that we’re in this current abortion crisis because comprehensive media coverage on reproductive care has never existed(!), and how we need to support Rewire and AAF as we fill the gap!
