Hi john,
Thank God it’s Friday, and Abortion Access Front is back (TGIFAAAFIB?) to download the latest in Reproductive Whatthefuckery! So grab a coffee, pop a squat, and LFG.
I Mean, It’s One Baby, America. What Could It Cost – Ten Dollars?
We couldn’t make this up if we tried – not that we would , because what the actual fuck: The White Nationalist Natalists over in Trumpland are hard pitching ways to get YOU to pump out more kids! [[link removed]] How about a trophy? Or $5K “baby bonuses” and spending a metric ton of tax dollaz on fertility programs so you know when your baby maker is ready to get cookin’! So let DOGE scrap reproductive healthcare access, food assistance, and childcare funding so YOU CAN GET A TROPHY and enough money for 15 minutes of expenses that, idk, about covers the cost of a cup of ice chips during your labor. Make it make sense.
Check out our insta [[link removed]] for AAF’s reaction!

Wyoming: Eat Shit, TRAP Laws!
No thanks to Liz Cheney, (our forever statement about most things good) ABORTION IS BACK IN WYOMING! A judge temporarily blocked two anti-abortion laws [[link removed]] , one of which would force patients to undergo transvaginal ultrasounds and the other would require abortion clinics to be licensed as outpatient surgical centers. Hot tip – both laws are completely unnecessary and designed to shut clinics down. This would only be better if we could have watched their faces as the anti-abortion lawmakers realized they don’t understand their own constitution, which actually protects health care. It would have been so cathartic.
A parody image styled like a Wild West standoff. A silhouette labeled “Wyoming Judge” faces off against a cowboy labeled “Total Abortion Ban” in front of an old western town backdrop. A speech bubble from the judge says, “This town ain’t big enough for the both of us.” The logo for Abortion Access Front appears in the bottom right corner, reinforcing the theme of resistance against restrictive abortion laws.

Get ready, folks, your favorite Buzzkills Lizz and Moji are talking about the trend of reclassifying things like abortion meds and birth control, and then outlawing them in the process! You know, the ol’ “make them sound terrible then use it to strip away your rights” trick.

We Got Guests!
Our pod this week is STACKED! We’re chatting with Medicaid and reprocare expert Dr. Cat Duffy about patients using Medicaid for pregnancy care, how people learn, and how not allowing abortion in the Medicaid system is racist as hell.

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.
