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. 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. 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.

New Feminist Buzzkills Episode: Drops TODAY!

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::

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!
