Hi john,
Friday is back, and so is Abortion Access Front with all of the latest and predictably ungreatest abortion news in the land! Stick with us, kid, and you’ll always be in the know!
The Ol’ Abortion Legislation Sneakaroo
Fun fact: THE MAJORITY OF AMERICANS ARE PRO-CHOICE! Which is exactly why conservative senators tried to sneak a “backdoor national abortion ban” into the terrible, no good, very bad government spending package [[link removed]] hoping no one noticed. Does the Hyde Amendment already ban federal funding from going towards elective abortions? Yep! But in their quest to not-actually-leave-it-to-the-states, they target the states that actually care for their citizens by subsidizing plans that cover abortion to remove the option entirely.
The good news? They took the backdoor ban out of the current budget bullshit. The bad news (‘cause there’s always gotta be bad news)? They’ve promised to resurrect this rancid old chestnut next year and tie it to the fight to extend the ACA healthcare subsidy negotiations. FUCK YOU! AND ALSO WE’LL BE READY.
Won’t Somebody Think Of The MEN?!
BREAKING NEWS: the anti-abortion stink tank The Heritage Foundation wants you to know that The MenTM are being POISONED by—wait for it— birth control in the drinking water. [[link removed]] They’ve spent decades trying to demonize birth control by claiming it harms women, but who gives af about the ladies, amirite? WE HAVE TO PROTECT THE MEN. Why not dust off the Students for Life “abortion pills are poisoning the groundwater” grift and rebrand with a toxic masculinity spin? Birth control pills are peed into the water, men drink it, and suddenly every guy becomes an estrogen-soaked low-T beta male soy boy who cries at Pixar movies.
twopanel meme style graphic. left panel shows a man sitting in a car wearing a police style uniform with a serious expression. a bright yellow label at the bottom says before drinking out of the hose. right panel shows a person dressed in an over the top pink feathered costume with oversized white sunglasses and a dramatic facial expression. a bright yellow label at the bottom says after. across the top of both panels is bold white text that says conservatives think abortion and birth control in our drinking water is causing mass twinkification. background is patterned with repeating a a f logo tiles. [[link removed]]
As abortion historian Mary Ziegler points out, and as we’ve been screaming from the rooftops for ages (our neighbors are really sick of our lawn signs), the anti-abortion movement once claimed they would never go after birth control. But now with a dude whose kink is medical conspiracy theories running the HHS? It’s just the opening they’ve been waiting for. God forbid the men catch The Gay—its a national emergency!
New Feminist Buzzkills Episode: Drops TODAY!
A promotional graphic for the Feminist Buzzkills podcast. At the top, bold yellow text reads, “YOUR BUZZKILLS ARE OFF THIS WEEK!” The background is a dark starry night sky with angled blue stripes. On the left, there are illustrated portraits of the two hosts. Moji Alawode-El is on the left, smiling, with short curly hair and wearing a red top with gold earrings. Lizz Winstead is on the right, with long white hair, glasses, and red lipstick, wearing a teal shirt and navy jacket. Yellow labels beneath each host identify them: “Moji Alawode-El” and “Lizz Winstead.” To the right, the neon-style logo for the “Feminist Buzzkills Podcast” is displayed in blue, red, and yellow glowing text.
