Happy Juneteenth john,

Nothing says "land of the free" like kicking off the week off with a hearty helping of World Cup, feat. an extra side of fascism and a flaming white supremacist fight night on America's front lawn.

Freedom Isn’t Free If It Doesn’t Include You, Me, And Where You Pee
The anti-abortion chuds love to say "the most dangerous place for a Black child is in the womb of a Black mother." They'll spew this BS ‘til they’re blue in the face, all while creating policies that make motherhood feel like one of the original episodes of Fear Factor.

All you have to do is look at the stats to see that these Repro Repo Men don’t actually care about Black mothers. The numbers speak for themselves: Black mothers are far more likely to die from pregnancy-related causes, the states with the worst maternal health outcomes are also the ones leading the charge on abortion bans, and 60% of Black women who can get pregnant live in states with abortion bans. Instead, they continue to find newer, more cruel ways to ban abortion all while using Black babies as props and Black women as punchlines shouted from the center ring of misogyny.

And Because American Anti-Abortion Extremism Apparently Isn't Causing Enough Damage At Home, They're Exporting It Abroad
This week, actual NJ Congressman and anthropomorphic dog scrotum, Chris Smith flew all the way to fucking LIBERIA to tell their Senate to reject a reproductive health provision that would expand abortion access. Yep. The same people kicking gold medal goalies out of the country for the color of their skin are literally flying anti-abortion politics across the Atlantic.

That's why this week's episode of Feminist Buzzkills is RIGHT ON TIME!

Taja Lindley gabs with Lizz and Moji about reproductive justice and the work of All-Options, one of the organizations proving that compassionate, patient-centered care is the bare minimum. All-Options is the counter to sketchy anti-abortion fake clinics, which THANK GODDESS, because those places are out of control.

Check out the latest episode wherever you pod!

Fired up now with no plans to give back today? WE GOT U!

If you’ve had a medication abortion, congrats! You are exactly who we need.
Anti-abortion ghouls are out here lying through their busted teeth to ban mifepristone (mife), trying to eliminate access by mail, and even roll back approval entirely of a medication that has been used safely worldwide for DECADES. So no, we’re not letting that slide.

Your medication abortion story is the reality check to the propaganda driving this hard turn into the 1800s! Drop your story at Mifestories.com, and help drag the truth into the light: mifepristone is safe, effective, and basic healthcare. And we all deserve access.

And then fill out our volunteer skill share form for even more ways to get involved!
