Feminist Buzzkills

MINI-SODE ALERT! The Feminist Buzzkills are out on a summer break, but we know your earholes need a pro-abobo fix – so we GOTCHU! GUEST ROLL CALL: Remember the story of the Indiana OB-GYN who, just days after Roe v. Wade was overturned, performed a LIFE-SAVING abortion on a 10-year-old CHILD who was turned away for care by the state of Ohio back in 2022? WELL, your Buzzkills brought in that AMAZING provider who stays fighting the good fight in and around the Hoosier State. Dr. Caitlin Bernard, Indiana-based OB-GYN and Assistant Professor at Indiana University Medical School, joins the Buzzkills to yap about the growing-up-in-a-hippie-commune to becoming-a-doctor pipeline and the devastating impact of USAID cuts. She also gets real about the exodus of OB-GYNs and med students from states with bans and shares what it means to provide abortion care in a state with a near-total abortion ban where anti-abobo cuntservatives are coming for providers. Sometimes hope looks like a doctor who refuses to quit and instead keeps fighting like hell. PLUS! She joins us in one of our fav pastimes — dragging a couple of garbage barnacle Attorney General goons. Times are heavy, but knowledge is power, y’all. We gotchu.

The Buzzkillians are back together again!! Lizz spills the tea to Moji about her travels in Vienna and they yap it up about AOC’s public fertility journey and who’s big MAD about it! ALSO, no one is asking the real head scratchers about the surrogate from Alaska who refused an abortion, so the Buzzkills are blabbing about it with the Abortion AF team! We don’t have many answers, but we DO have more questions about this than we do about THOSE photos of Josh Hawley nose-to-nose with someone who may or may not be Spencer Pratt. GUEST ROLL CALL: Dr. Tiffany Green, Director of the Reproductive Equity Action Lab and Assistant Professor at the University of Wisconsin-Madison joins to talk about collaborating on a MASSIVE 50,000 person study on abortion and contraception access after Dobbs. We talk about her findings, and why who gets included in abortion research matters. We are totally on Team Tiffany, who helped us see: a) surveys are sexy, and b) when Black people win, everybody wins. PLUS!! Get ready to rock out because the lead singer of your fav new band “The Blushes” is HERE! Musician and Activist, Katie Jayne Earl, of The Riot Grrrl/Catholicism cosplay trio yaps with the Buzzkills about pissing off the Manosphere, becoming an artist, how bringing joy to the revolution is just as important as fighting the fight.

Yer Buzzkills break down the facts about Trump’s silent but deadly CDC nominee. Sure, she gleefully promoted surveillance on abortion seekers, but it’s what she DIDN’T say in her confirmation hearings that could be worse than a Jesse Watters stag party at a Taco Bell. All that and a lawsuit win comes out of South Dakota, updates drop on the Texas midwife story we’ve been following, and Josh Hawley throws a tantrum over Plan C Pills’ website. GUEST ROLL CALL: What does it mean to build a world where sex education is rooted in pleasure, consent, and liberation? The dopest sex educator we know is HERE! Author and activist, Ericka Hart, who combines her lived experiences as a Queer, Black, Femme with her expertise as a sex educator for her book Nasty Work. BONUS: Ericka has a great story of some shenanigans that got her booted from the Peace Corps! PLUS! What do clowns, REI, catchy songs, and emotional healing have in common? HEB MURPHY! The comedian and digital creator delivers the serotonin as she joins the Buzzkills to talk about writing jingles that we can all somehow relate hard to, why touching grass is deeply therapeutic, and what Bill Nye and Ken Ham have to do with her going from conservative AF to queer AF by the age of 22. Times are heavy, but knowledge is power, y’all. We gotchu. URGENT ACTION: Share Your Medication Abortion Story Now!

It’s our (least) favorite time of the year – the March for Life, womp womp womp. AKA, the 100,000 person mega anti-abortion circle jerk in Washington, DC, where harassholes spend some of the coldest days of the year outside, yelling misinformation about abortion pill in the drinking water, fetus Ozempic, and pagan skulls all while staying silent as hell about ICE killing people and detaining children. As always, your Feminist Buzzkills are breaking it all down. GUEST ROLL CALL! Since this one’s a doozy, we called in the best infiltrator we know to join us in the fun, AAF’s programs director, Kristin Hady! An expert on anti-abortion extremists, Kristin was on the ground at the National Mall for ALL of the bible-humping chaos. This special FBK episode is a meaty recap of the vibes, the messaging and the scary ass forced birth plans they have in store for us in 2026 and beyond, plus some ways to fight back! Times are heavy, but knowledge is power, y’all. We gotchu.

It’s only January and we’re already pissed. Your Feminist Buzzkills are officially BACK with our first pod of 2026, and we’re ready to fuck some shit up. Lizz and Moji are lacing up their boots and standing elbow-to-elbow with y’all every single day they come for one of us. From the latest escalation of the “there’s abortions in our water” panic to a huge abortion win in Wyoming, a LOT went down while we were busy baking, wrapping, and just trying to survive. GUEST ROLL CALL! It feels like the world is BURNING; with heartbreaking news pouring out of the North Star State, we’re starting the new year with the best person we know to break it all down: Minnesota State House Representative, Leigh Finke. The first openly trans member in the Minnesota State Legislature and chair of the Reproductive Freedom Caucus dives into all of the anti-trans healthcare assaults that the Trump Administration dropped over the holidays, and brings us updates on the tragic ICE shooting of Renee Nicole Good. We know we say this often (and it’s always true ofc), but this is absolutely a pod you won’t want to miss! Times are heavy, but knowledge is power, y’all. We gotchu. OPERATION SAVE ABORTION: Check out our NEW Operation Save Abortion workshop, recorded a live from Netroots Nation 2025 that’ll train you in coming for anti-abobo lawmakers, spotting and fighting against fake clinics, AND gears you up on how to help someone in a banned state access abortion. You can still join the 10,000+ womb warriors fighting the patriarchy by listening to past Operation Save Abortion trainings by clicking HERE for episodes, your toolkit, marching orders, and more.
