Alabama’s IVF Problem: Incessant Vaginal Fuckery With Dr. Rebecca Gomperts & Subhah Agarwal

Feminist Buzzkills

Full episode transcript HERE.

Another podisode where we tear the patriarchy apart! Lizz is in vacay mode, but Moji is here with brilliant guest host and AAF Head Writer Alyssa Al-Dookhi, AKA Dooks. This week we decode all of the IVF chaos that’s going down in not-so-sweet Alabama. We drag, expose, and deep dive into Tom Parker, the judicial creeper who just stuck his grubby hands in your IVF freezer. Oh, and spoiler: ballot initiatives aren't the magic wand that will save abortion. We unpack the shit they are pulling in Kansas and Mississippi to make sure nobody can vote for abortion. PLUS A LOT MORE ABOBO NEWS YOU NEED TO KNOW! Oh, our tea spilleth over!

SPECIAL GUEST ROLL CALL: The INCREDIBLE Dr. Rebecca Gomperts of Women on Waves and Aid Access schools us on her work, getting abortions on ships, and the magical miracle pill, mifepristone, and all of the things it is capable of!

PLUS, the hilarious Subhah Agarwal delivers the serotonin boost we need and shoots the shit with us about her new comedy special Airport Pigeon, marrying a clown, and comedians’ role in speaking up against injustice!

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