POV: It's International Podcast Day and you're trying to find out WTF happened this week in Abortlandia. Lucky for you, the only weekly abortion podcast in existence is here to bring y’all the news, the rage, and the laughs you need. While Lizz is running around being professionally hilarious, Marie and Moji are breaking down the latest in uterus-hating garbage that’s been spewing forth from the anti-abortionist, unrisen white bread loaves who think they run this world. Your Feminist Buzzkills are gabbing it up about International Safe Abortion Day, what’s going down in the reproductive streets of Puerto Rico and Latin America, Arizona abortion bans, and why we can’t stop laughing at Texas AG Ken Paxton. Plus, which states and countries are bringing us some bright spots this week? Hit that play button and find out!

As always, we’ve got a top shelf special guest lineup joining us in popping off about any and all things abobo! We are beyond honored this week to welcome Latina abortion hero and executive director of The Women’s Equality Center, Paula Ávila-Guillen. She’s getting real with us about the ongoing fight for abortion rights in Latin America, the work she and The Women’s Equality Center do, the heartwrenching effects of El Salvador’s total abortion ban, and what folks in the US can do about it. PLUS, here to charge up our serotonin levels is hilarious musician and actor Jen Kwok! Listen to us blab about how she makes music about issues that matter to her (like ABORTION), what music genre she’s about to take over next, and how hyped she is to cover a trash misogynistic song next week at AAF’s Do Re #MeToo (Tickets linked below) alongside her idol, Margaret Cho!

Times are heavy, but we got you.
