It’s Vaginal Dryness Awareness Week With Shonali & Dr. Cat Duffy

Scared? Got Questions about the continued assault on your reproductive rights? 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!

 

Your fav Buzzkills 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’ve also got lots to say about the Catholic Papi's passing and what he DIDN'T do for abortion, shenanigans that are popping up out of Louisiana and which other states are hopping on the bandwagon, PLUS all of the other abobo-related news your earholes need to hear this week. 

 

WHO ARE OUR GUESTS THIS WEEK? WE’RE STACKED.

We’re yapping with Medicaid and repro care expert, Dr. Cat Duffy of the National Health Law Program (NHeLP), about the harsh realities of what the proposed trash Medicaid cuts could mean for reproductive rights, how YOU can fight back, and how not allowing abortion in the Medicaid system is racist as hell. 

 

PLUS, musician and comedian Shonali joins the pod to remind us that reproductive rights and abortion are PUNK AS FUCK, and gabs with us on art and disco as revolution, the power in being yourself, how she’s channeling her rage, on being detained at the border, and her incredible new album, One Machine at a Time. 

 

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