This week in Abobo-landia was a DOOZY. But no need to fear – the Feminist Buzzkills are here! Lizz, Moji, and Marie are back for another hour of poppin’ off. This week’s instigators of our rage include, but are not limited to, a couple of attorneys general being absolute misogynistic gremlins, Mississippi offering tax breaks for donations to anti-abortion fake clinics, and three pregnant folks having to cross state lines for abortion after being denied emergency care … And that’s not even all the courses in this dinner party from hell. At least we have a dessert course of comedy and some good news.
And who are our guests at the table this week? Hold on because it’s a DAHLIA LITHWICK ALERT! The iconic legal genius, SLATE senior editor, host of the “Amicus” podcast and author is BACK on the pod, and this time she’s spilling the tea on her new book Lady Justice: Women, the Law, and the Battle to Save America (Penguin Press), why everyone should love Pauli Murray as much as she does, and so much more. PLUS, we have comedian/writer Ophira Eisenberg, whom you may recognize as the host of NPR’s “Ask Me Another,” and who’s here to blab about her NEW hilarious podcast “Parenting Is A Joke,” doing comedy post-quarantine, and other various and sundry things!
Times are heavy, but we got you.
OPERATION SAVE ABORTION: In case you missed out on the training day we’ve been blabbing about nonstop, you can still join the 10,000+ womb warriors fighting the patriarchy by listening to our five-part OpSave pod series clicking HERE for your toolkit, marching orders, and more.
