Hi john,

WELCOME TO THE AAF WEEKLY EMAIL!

Roses are red, violets are blue, we’re ready to fuck some shit up – how about you? Nothing says ‘love’ like living through the current soul scorchings and still showing up every day to make a difference. It ain’t easy, but finding moments of joy and community get us through the hard parts! We even made you the sweetest little valentine to pass out to your secret admirer.

So sit back, relax, open that box of chocolates, pour yourself a glass (or three) of champagne, and catch up on this week's Abortion AF Highlights!

JK, we lied. Scarf those bon bons and guzzle that champers -- WE JUST GOT WORD…

Reproductive Freedom is Heading Back To The Supreme Court!
Mark your calendars for April 2nd and join us in DC! SCOTUS will be hearing oral arguments on whether or not South Carolina can cut off Medicaid funding to Planned Parenthood… even though not a single Planned Parenthood offers abortions in that state.

Abortion Access Front will be on the ground for this hearing to annoy the hell out of every last anti-abortion asshole pushing this – sign up here to stay in the know on how to join us!

Idaho: Please Do NOT Be Mine This Year
Sure, Idaho already bans nearly all abortions, but why not add on more bullshit like reclassifying abortion pills as a controlled substance – putting them in the same category as Valium and Xanax.

Because we all know that the euphoria you get from cramping during a medication abortion leads to craving that feeling every day.

Yet another solution in search of a problem.

New Feminist Buzzkills Episode: Drops TODAY!

This week on AAF’s pod, supreme buzzkills Lizz Winstead and Moji Alawode-El are going deep on Indiana leading the way in stripping HIPAA for abortion patients, redefining birth control, and how doctors are fighting back! What does that mean for the rest of us not living there? A whole hell of a lot!

THIS WEEK'S AMAZING GUESTS!
Amy Merril, founder of powerhouse information hub Plan C Pills, joins us to dive into how we navigate this reproductive journey into the unknown, and how we can all protect ourselves and still access abortion care. 

PLUS everyone's fav witchy valentine, Bitch! Legendary musician, writer, and performance artist Bitch sits down with your Buzzkills to talk about her new show, Bitchcraft, and why we all need to add more music and humor into our lives right now!

Historical Feminist Resistance Is Our Kink
Women have been kicking ass and taking names throughout history, but who is documenting it??
