eHarmony for Fetuses? Swipe Left With Mallory Johns & Leigh Finke

Full episode transcript HERE.

Buckle up, we’ve got a banger for you! This week on Feminist Buzzkills, Lizz holds it down alone as Moji is off on a birthday vacay, so wish our favorite Pisces all the best! Missouri fucked around and found out, so Lizz drills into what the hell is going on with the “Mother of the West’s” pregnancy registry and how it’s really just a taxpayer-funded stalking site. Plus, JD Vance causes MANARCHY IN THE UK, and IVF gets a boost from the POS POTUS. 

Call us, text us, we wanna help! Got Questions about the continued assault on your reproductive rights? Lizz answers a few on the show this week! But if you are freaking out about something abortion-related, THE FBK LINES ARE OPEN! Just call or text [phone], leave your questions or concerns, and Lizz and Moji will pick a few to address on the pod!

AND LOOK AT THIS WEEK’S GUESTS! We chat with Minnesota State Rep. Leigh Finke, the first trans woman elected to statewide office and author of the Trans Refuge Bill, about her work making Minnesota a safe haven for bodily autonomy, building an intersectional future, and what allies can do for the trans movement. PLUS! Veteran journalist superstar and new Executive Director of Rewire News Group, Mallory Johns, joins to explain that we’re in this current abortion crisis because comprehensive media coverage on reproductive care has never existed(!), self-care tools for navigating toxic information, and how we need to support indie media *cough* i.e. Rewire and AAF *cough* as we fill the gap! 

 

Times are heavy, but knowledge is power, y’all. We gotchu.
