Hi john,
Forgive the typos in this weak’s (oops) abortion news dump, we’ve been POUNDING jager bombs celebrating the off-boarding of Kristi The Clown. Bye Beeyatch. Let the prosecutions begin…
Okay, let’s goooo. Whether you’re a long-time friend of Abortion AF or you recently met us at one of the REM tribute shows (we loved your outfit btw), we’re ready to give you the most important headlines from this week in reproductive rights (and wrongs). Buckle up.
Bad News for Ohio’s Tiny Coffin Market
Storytime! Back in 2020 in the far away land of Ohio, bad people passed a bad bill that required abortion providers to cremate and bury every abortion.
This evil scheme was just another attempt to burden clinics with extra costs, and try to shut them down, and worst of all, criminalize folks for how they dispose of their pregnancy outcomes [[link removed]] . Creepy right? Like, what’s next, y’all? Mass funerals for gym socks? R.I.Precum. Anyhoo, the plot THICKENS.
A meme created from a still of the show Shark Tank. In the still, the entrepreneurs are showing their product to a panel of investors. In the meme, yellow text labels the entrepreneurs as “Ohio trying to push fetus funerals” and the investors as “Ohio voters” who all say “I’m out” – as in, they are not interested in the fetus funerals. [[link removed]]
In 2023, Ohio voters enshrined abortion in their constitution and the process of getting rid of this freakish law began. Cut to this week. Finally, an appellate court blocked most of that heinous bill [[link removed]] , so now, the zealots who forced these funerals into law can shove all those itty, bitty, teenie, tiny urns up their gigantic assholes!
And Speaking Of Gaping Ones, Look Out, Because Iran isn’t The Only War Hegseth Is Waging!
While US troops are bombing girls’ schools in Iran because of oil, Bible borders, and the return of Jeebus, these Pentagon prayer warriors have also escalated their war against abortion access for current service members and veterans.
A near-total abortion ban is now in effect at the Department of Veterans Affairs [[link removed]] , allowing care only if a VA physician certifies it’s necessary to save the pregnant veteran’s life. And TBH, we have zero faith that the sex pest who runs the military (who does Crossfit with the sexpest who runs the health department) is gonna make sure we have righteous physicians looking out for veterans who need abortion care.
America: Where you fight for your country and your country fights against you.
A meme created from a screenshot of a TikTok. In the screenshot, TikTok user “bradeazy,” dressed in a suit in a room lit by purple LED strips, puts his hands together and looks at the camera in a faux-business-like way. In this meme, Donald Trump’s head is superimposed over his. Text reads “TRADE OFFER for United States veterans” with two warning sign emojis. Then, more text reads, “I receive: control of all the oil in the Middle East. You receive: PTSD and no access to abortion.” [[link removed]]
Abort Your Frown Lines!
Facing a $100M shortfall because of cuts to Medicaid in the past year, more than 50 Planned Parenthood clinics have closed nationwide while others have had to get… creative …like offering… Botox? [[link removed]]
A meme created from a still from the TV show Doctor Who. The image is of Lady Cassandra O’Brien, who has gotten so many plastic surgeries that she is now just a single stretched piece of skin on a frame with slight remnants of a face. Overlaid yellow text above and below Cassandra reads “We won’t tell anyone we got our labia botoxed at Planned Parenthood but there will be signs.” [[link removed]]
Planned Parenthood’s botox services are apparently cheaper than local medi spas, plus you get the bonus of protestors screaming, “Life Begins at Injection!” when you walk in the door.
Great New Episode Next Week To Honor Abortion Provider Appreciation Week!
A promotional graphic for the Feminist Buzzkills podcast. At the top, bold yellow text reads, “YOUR BUZZKILLS ARE OFF THIS WEEK!” The background is a dark starry night sky with angled blue stripes. On the left, there are illustrated portraits of the two hosts. Moji Alawode-El is on the left, smiling, with short curly hair and wearing a red top with gold earrings. Lizz Winstead is on the right, with long white hair, glasses, and red lipstick, wearing a teal shirt and navy jacket. Yellow labels beneath each host identify them: “Moji Alawode-El” and “Lizz Winstead.” To the right, the neon-style logo for the “Feminist Buzzkills Podcast” is displayed in blue, red, and yellow glowing text. [[link removed]]
We know you miss them terribly, but Moji and Lizz are still out with AAF staff out on the road with Michael Shannon & Jason Narducy [[link removed]] on their incredible REM celebration tour preaching the gospel of abortion, signing up new volunteers, and visiting our favorite folks… INDIE ABORTION PROVIDERS.

Your Buzzkills are doing a very special episode celebrating with these incredible guests! It is moving, informative and the love letter you want as we celebrate these amazing humans!
A promotional graphic for the upcoming March 13 episode of the Feminist Buzzkills podcast. In the center of the image, the neon-style logo for the podcast is displayed in blue, red, and yellow glowing text. Above it, white text reads, “Honoring and uplifting abortion providers during a dark week in reproductive rights history.” Below the logo, white text reads, “It's abortion provider appreciation week!” To the left and right of this logo are the headshots and names of four special guests: David Gunn Jr. (activist, son of Dr. David Gunn), abortion provider Dr. Chris Creatura (OBGYN, abortion provider, & Assistant Professor, Weill Cornell Medical College), Venny Ala-Siurua (Executive Director of Women on Web), and Dr. Victoria Williams (Co-Founder and Doula of Birthmark Doula Collective).
