Even tho there are just a few weeks left in 2020, the orcs on the anti abortion superhighway are trying to fill every moment with oppression! Wisconsin is trying to EXPAND abortion access, Ohio and Gov. Mike DeWine would like your fetus to sit in a freezer for a few months before arriving at a mass grave, because that is #deathwithdignity.

I Don’t Want My Breast Exam at Walgreens Description: We open this episode with the elephant in the room- the fact that racism, sexism and transphobia exist in our movement and we must address it. And it wouldn’t be a proper show without trash comments about abortion coming out of the Vatican and Louisiana. Then we close out with another elephant in the room as Moji, Lizz and Marie do their white (GOP) elephant gift exchange on the pod and also offer some dope suggestions for actual gifts that also support amazing non profits!!!

We are finally hearing more news about 40 Days for Life hired security who pepper sprayed pro-choice supporters in California, but still no justice. And we are rolling into the weekend, (maybe watching Borat’s new flick?!), while we think about how Amy Coney Barrett’s anti-abortion vitriol is only matched by her racism.

We dedicate this podcast to Moji, who is enjoying a few days off. While she’s out, Lizz and Marie discuss breaking news in Michigan, the vice presidential debate (Pence… we know you’re ragingly anti-abortion, you can’t hide that boner) and Amy Coney Barrett’s public stance against abortion. Thankfully the House of Representatives passed a resolution condemning the mass sterilization of imprisoned people at ICE camps; what is despicable is that only seven Republicans took this opportunity and voted yes, to condemn the xenophobia, white supremacy, and horrific medical abuse that occured. We have some upcoming events to look forward to, and action items supporting abortion access in the Midwest! Gathered in the Sleeper Cell Follow us on Twitter!

Let’s all collectively breathe deeply and donate $750 toward abortion access, after the truly terrifying display of fascism and general white man pandering on the presidential debate stage this week. Not only are we more informed on Europe’s “forest cities” (wtf?!?) but we also all saw the historic moment that a sitting US president declined to disavow white supremacy. As our guest Lara Chelian of Northland Family Planning explains, these very same domestic terrorists have shown up throughout her life as a second-generation abortion provider, threatening the life and autonomy of patients and her family.

Evan Hurst of Wonkette joins the Feminist Sleeper Cell in disgust over the Grand Jury’s findings on the murder of Breonna Taylor and our sorrow in the passing of Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg.

Lizz is back, and with her brings the fury of 1000 suns for Immigrations and Customs Enforcement prisoners telling of forced hysterectomies. We are also hopeful that unfettered abortion access will prevail, and Colorado’s 115 will be voted down in November.

Our stint at Netroots Nation 2020 continues, this time with even more bad abortion news. While Arkansas is busy trying to make doctors call the police on pregnant minors (we cannot overemphasize how cruel this is), stop D&E procedures (the standard medical process for a second trimester termination), and allow a patient’s family to meddle in their abortion decision, WE NOW ALSO NEED TO WORRY ABOUT THE POST OFFICE. Plus, joining us is a trio of amazing activists, clinic professionals, and legislative experts to talk about the toxicity of the Hyde and Helms Amendments and how the US must reverse rules like these to truly give folks globally a chance at equitable abortion care.

This week snapped our neck a bit with good and bad news- First the bad- SCOTUS decided that the HR Department at “Oppression R Us” can cite their morality as a reason to not cover birth control in their healthcare plans. Chalk up one more reason why we need the ERA, stat! BUT, in a strange amount of GOOD NEWS, a flurry of judicial smackdowns happened in the lower courts that left anti abortion overreachers sulking back into their sewers. For now anyway. All that plus, will Marie and Moji stump Lizz in this weeks, “Six Degrees of Abortion?” We are back, bay-beeeees!

Hey friends! Smells like quarateen spirit up in here! This week the cellmates are gathered and we are PISSSSSED! Guess it’s not hard enough to wake up and figure out your life during a plague. Nope, the shittiest governors in America have decided to use a pandemic as an excuse to ban abortion. It is really scary and the states that are shutting down clinics are spreading faster than… well...really fast. Joining us on the pod to talk about what it’s like to be helping patients in one of those states, are Derenda Hancock and Kim Gibson founders of the non profit, We Engage and escorts at The Pink House, the last clinic left providing abortion in the state of Mississippi.

This week in the cell Moji , Marie and Lizz breakdown the week in fuckery. We always love when pop culture talks about abortion but man, even when they are trying to good, it doesn’t help when they don’t do research. (Looking at you Shameless) Plus Indiana shames you into thinking you are a bad person if you don’t want to have a funeral for your blood soaked maxi pad. Also, great news that you already knew, research shows 95% of people who have abortions, DO NOT… SAY IT WITH ME... FEEL REGRET!

The unholy trinity of Moji, Jaye and Marie have returned to address THE BULLSHIT. The infamous (alleged) human trafficker of Maricopa County has finally resigned his elected position, to focus on his felony charges full-time! Meanwhile in Missouri Rep. Mike Moon has taken a break from beheading poultry (there’s a video) to lobby for police at abortion clinics; spoiler alert, ABORTION IS STILL LEGAL. Make sure you’re better equipped to support abortion access by reviewing the Center for Reproductive Rights excellent interactive map, detailing which states are hostile and ripe for anti-choice political action should Roe fall.

We hope your 2020 is off to roaring pro-abortion start! Moji and Marie are joined by Jaye today, to rehash the good and the bad of 2019, and look forward to what this new decade has to offer. While we tried to be optimistic the continued trend of white women voters TO ELECT SCUM PEOPLE, SCOTUS’s upcoming hearing on abortion rights, and the confusion that endures on ectopic pregnancies, doesn’t have us holding our breath.
