Hey john, Last Friday, the Forced Birth Coachella March for Life Superspreader Event Rally went on like it always does - without regard for reality. AAF’s new talk show Feminist Buzzkills Live! did special coverage with some of the greatest experts working in repro right now - Monica McLemore, Imani Gandy, Jessica Mason Pieklo, and Robin Marty. Plus we were joined by the very hilarious Danielle Perez! The whole day was as predictable as it could have been (ok, Kirk Cameron making a weird sex joke might not have been on our Bingo card) - right down to the white nationalist group Patriot Front joining the march and being warmly greeted by other participants. |

Just why did this racist organization attend the March For Life? AAF Founder Lizz Winstead and Executive director of We Testify, Renee Bracey Sherman co-authored a piece for NBC.com that brilliantly highlights the intersections of the anti-abortion and white nationalist movements. |

By THIS FUCKING SUMMER, Roe could be history, and we ask - whose agenda is this? For SURE it is the agenda of the March for Life crowd who preach “all lives matter” and “equality begins in the womb.” In fact, to them, the ONLY life that matters is in the womb. But it’s also the agenda of white nationalists and Christian supremacists who have lobbied for abortion bans to suppress the political power of BIPOC communities while trying to forcibly increase white births. |

The closer we get to the Supreme Court handing down a decision in Dobbs v Jackson, the more we will see states start to decide that it’s a good time to start setting up some more restrictions to abortion access. The reality will be more than a dozen states that will look like Texas in terms of abortion access and no one is going to be happier than all the white supremacists. |
