Hi john,
It’s Friday! That means Abortion Access Front is back in your orbit with an appropriate amount of snark about what’s going on in the abortionsphere this week. How much snark, you ask?
All of it.
One Giant Leap for Being Filthy Rich
One day, people will ask where we were the day Feminism finally won. We, of course, will answer that we were watching in awe the day Jeff Bezos dressed his fiancee and five of her friends in Barbie space suits then shot them into space for 11 minutes. Maybe now is a good time to remember that while the Shamazon overlord just spent millions on this lady power cosplay stunt, the woman who divorced his ass spends her millions funding abortions [[link removed]'s%20history.] . That’s the kind of making space we need right now.
12 States and Counting Are Trying to Charge People Who Have Abortions With Murder
The worst trend taking off in our current hell-osphere are self-styled “abortion abolitionist” talking points – charging abortion seekers and providers with murder. [[link removed]] Despite nearly 80% of Americans opposing criminalizing abortion seekers AND all-time high support of abortion access, at least twelve states are proposing homicide charges anyway. Reason 37484659 WE CHOOSE THE BEAR.
A parody of the popular distracted boyfriend meme. A man labeled “ANTI-ABORTION STATES” turns to look admiringly at a passing woman labeled “EXTREMISTS WHO THINK PEOPLE WHO GET OR PROVIDE ABORTIONS SHOULD GO TO JAIL,” while his girlfriend, labeled “THEIR CONSTITUENTS,” looks shocked and offended. Each label is in bold black text on a bright yellow background. In the bottom right corner is a small “Ten Years AF” logo from Abortion Access Front. [[link removed]]
New Feminist Buzzkills Episode: Drops TODAY!
A promotional banner for the Feminist Buzzkills podcast. The background is dark blue with stylized light rays and dots. At the top left, bold yellow text reads: “NEW POD THIS WEEK!” Below it are cartoon illustrations of two podcast hosts. On the left is Moji Alawode-El with dark curly hair and a red top; on the right is Lizz Winstead with long white hair, glasses, and a teal top. Their names are highlighted in yellow text boxes. To the right, the podcast’s neon-style logo says “Feminist Buzzkills Podcast.” [[link removed]]
Your Buzzkills are BACK with a brand new episode! Lizz and Moji bring you this week’s WTF moments of a Catholic hospital system suing because… a fetus isn’t a person!
Plus, they break down the Grand Damn of abortion bills that was proposed in North Carolina. THANKFULLY it got royally flushed, but you know how these things go. They are evil energizer bunnies who never give up.
AND THEIR GUESTS ARE ::CHEFS KISS::
A promotional graphic for an upcoming episode of the Feminist Buzzkills podcast airing Thursday, April 18. The background is dark blue with the podcast’s neon logo at the top center. Text reads: “Special Guests,” with headshots of three guests beneath. On the left is Dr. Carole Joffe, identified as a Professor of Obstetrics-Gynecology at UC San Francisco. In the center is David Cohen, a Law Professor at Drexel University. On the right is actor Candice King, known for her role in “The Vampire Diaries.” The bottom banner promotes Abortion Access Front and includes icons for Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter, along with the handle @AbortionFront.

Considered some of the top researchers and experts in the abortion care, Dr. Carole Joffe and Law Professor David Cohen join to talk about their incredible new book, After Dobbs: How the Supreme Court Ended Roe but Not Abortion . Their research and reporting on the resilience and innovation in our movement post-Dobbs is the inspiring glimmer of hope we can all use right now
And the star of The Vampire Diaries, badass activist Candice King is buzzkilling it as she talks about her activism and the sexist shit storms currently raging in Tennessee. Super creepy preview: They have an AI fetus they’re trying to present in schools to talk about sex ed. DON’T MISS IT!
