Lizz is out for the best reason: celebrating the day Minnesota was first blessed with her radiance and joy. Moji and Marie meanwhile have assembled a critical docket of abortion news, starting with a SCOTUS update. In our now-weekly segment addressing “sanctuary cities for the unborn” we are soliciting jingle entries from our listeners. And we have gotta say, the state that had to run a “don't rape your daughter” billboard campaign doesn't scream ABORTION HAVEN, but compared to it's nearest neighbors it's a veritable sanctuary state FOR abortion. Yikes! But what really fuels our anger this week is learning that OTHER areas of medical care critical to communities, PARTICULARLY those affecting Black women, are limited in medication and research because of anti-abortion stigma and good ol' fashioned misogyny.  Gathered in the Sleeper Cell: Moji Alawode-El @mojilocks Marie Khan @mjkhhn Follow us on Twitter! @accessforce WE ARE GETTING EXCITED FOR FBK LIVE Follow Feminist Buzzkills Live!!!!Be Informed on All Our Events!  Quick Hits: Get Off Your Amicus Brief and Do the Work Anti Abortion Organizations Filing SCOTUS Briefs Sanctuary City Trash Trend Continues Odessa, TX Hillsdale, MI  Abortion Access in the South is Fucked Florida = An Abortion Haven?She's Your Daughter, Not Your DateIncreasing Need for Abortion Patients To Travel  Meaty Story Opportunities for the Abortion Pill What Else Could Mifepristone Treat Besides Pregnancy?

As we sweat our way through July, Sleeper cellmates Moji and Marie are calling out some despicable trends. Attorneys General are circle-jerking anything-that-sticks-to-the-abortion-ban as they try to litigate around Roe; clinic attacks are accelerating in violence and frequency and OSA got called out publically for their hatred.

We really need to start waking up to better news this summer. This last week saw a cop go unpunished for protesting at an abortion clinic, while Ohio's newly signed budget throttles providers and gives a cool six MILLION to fake clinics!!! Wake us from this nightmare.  PLUS we have the amazing Ohio clinic escort Kristin Hady, who joined Lizz and co last week in Phoenix to engage with anti-abortion terrorizors from Operation Save America.

You get Moji and Marie again this week!!! Lizz&Co are out exposing the toxic Evangelical masculinity of Operation Save America, which has descended on Arizona this week to preach their misogynistic hate. Our bright spots are the incredible Black folks running for office all over the US to try and enact REAL change (such as teaching Critical Race Theory in the classroom). We are on team #FreeBritney and demand that she be allowed the freedom to make her own reproductive choices and remind our listeners that so many People of Color face the same type of oppression and coercion.

Description: We hope you are ready to enjoy a relaxing Juneteenth weekend while Moji and Marie DROP SOME KNOWLEDGE. North Carolina's unconstitutional ban was stopped, but we are still nervous (and enraged) about anti abortion measures in Arkansas and Louisiana. We also watched On The Divide, a documentary that captures a snapshot of the lives of a clinic security guard, a clinic escort, and a fake clinic volunteer around a single clinic in Texas. It touched on a host of intense subjects, ranging from PTSD to domestic violence; this film was thoughtful and reflective in unexpected ways.

We were hoping this summer heat would force the misogynists indoors- instead Red Rose attackers have been busy terrorizing Ohio clinics, and there's a march planned by a bunch of lonely incels in suits TO PROTEST A HOSPITAL. And we return yet again to Texas, with a blatantly unconstitutional “sanctuary city” depriving residents of abortion access!!!

The Cellmates wanted to rant and rant and rant about Texas's new bullshit law that lets anyone with half a brain and an axe to grind to sue your uterus. But then the Supreme Court decided to take their super-conservative supermajority and weigh in on an unconstitutional 15-week ban, so this hydra had to switch gears. Luckily we have the litigation director for the Center For Reproductive Rights Julie Rikelman to bring her vast Mississippi  lawyer-ly genius and explains why we're not wrong to feel like this is wrong.

 We are busy this week and so it's another “Best of” but we promise next week a piping, hot, fresh pod right out of the oven. Mmmm so delish.  The cellmates decided this episode from March was a good ‘en because we had our fingers on the pulse on some of the most fucked up abortion bans from March of this year. You really can't be reminded enough that Republicans are PROUD of wasting taxpayer money passing laws directly contrary to the constitution, especially now that we have a SCOTUS that has never heard of The Constitution.  Plus, thankfully folks who worked on the “film” Roe V Wade, the diseased cruise ship of movie making, leaked every bad thing about it, so The Cellmates got to laugh and point at hellscape-that-is writer/director Nick Loeb's mind.  And finally, With hopes that telemedicine will continue to enable at least some to access the abortion pill, we re-visit our interview about self-managed abortion with Amy Merrill of Plan C.

We are reposting Our episode from last March to remind folks of the record of violence and harassment clinics have faced this spring on an ongoing basis. While we can thank the reproductive affirming decision in NYC to protect clinic access, North Carolina and Kentucky providers faced violent threats by anti-abortion terrorizers. We are joined by special guest Melissa Grant, CEO of carfem, who's Nashville clinic Melissa Grant, CEO of carfem, a clinic in Nashville had to barricade folks inside as forced-birth trespassers tried to confront staff and patients.

Even though the Feminist Sleeper Cell is operating at two-thirds strength this week, Moji and Marie deliver 1000 percent fury. Apparently, without the Federal Aviation Administration, stalking an abortion provider with a drone would have continued unchecked (land police, again, fuck you). Waiting periods are still en vogue, because why on earth should you be able to get safe and legal medical care on your timeline? And Oklahoma and Idaho are taking turns at cynical so-called heartbeat bans. Our guest and AAF fake clinic expert Anna Bean lays out how to spot fake clinics, their rampant dangerous medical lies, and the tactics they employ to confuse and shame those seeking legitimate pregnancy options.

Once again, we are reminded of conservatives myopic fascination with fetuses, as Xavier Becerra's HHS finally rolls back restrictions on using fetal tissue in research that the Trump administration stopped. Call us when people actually care about the medical experimentation on Black and brown bodies. Then the cellmates lighten the mood as we unpack the total LACK of dignity in Tennessee's looming law requiring fetal burial or cremation. And to ice this particular shitty pod cake, we close out talking about the truly egregious state of healthcare for detained or incarcerated individuals, WHO EVEN HAVE TO SUE on the individual level to access their abortion care, and are still fighting to not be shackled while giving birth.

This week has seen some HELPFUL news for increased abortion access, with changes in Haiwaii and movement by the FDA to reduce barriers to medication abortions. But these barriers should not exist TO BEGIN WITH, and are useless in states who go out of their way to criminalize pregnancy...like Texas.  The shit their legislators are coming up with, trying to penalize ‘aiding and abetting' abortion, while they simultaneously want a SEVEN WEEK abortion pill cutoff!

The Arkansas House and Senate hit a new low this week advancing legislation criminalizing EXISTING AND FUTURE gender-affirming healthcare for minors-  making their newest abortion restriction look mild.

WE ARE BAAAAACK! We start off this episode with a passionate endorsement of *ouid*- because that’s the only way to watch the new ‘Roe’ movie starring Tomi Lahren. Multiple states are competing over who can puff puff pass the most restricting and cruel abortion ban; they range from ‘sideways’ to a ‘direct challenge’ of constitutional law...because you know what really are tax dollars?!?!?

This episode comes at the heels of Abortion Provider Appreciation Week (but they deserve love 365 days a year!!). Lizz, Marie and Moji tackle a scary week in abortion care friends, as violence at clinics is escalating.  We cover a good law enforcement win in New York against harassers, but also do a deep dive into an alarming trend (and by trend we mean every day fuckery) of law enforcement cozying up to the anti abortion protesters. In just one week, there was gun violence at a North Carolina clinic, a patient attack in Kentucky, and we are joined by guest Melissa Grant, CEO of carfem, a clinic in Nashville that was literally invaded by dangerous prayer warriors. She brings a very personal and stark reality about how terrifying it is when clinics are attacked and their local police are on the side of the oppressors.  Really compelling.  Your Sleeper Cellmates are:  Lizz Winstead @lizzwinstead Moji Alawode-El @mojilocks Marie Khan @mkhanj  Follow us on Twitter! @accessforce Quick Hits NY Court Win for Clinic Access https://www.yahoo.com/news/court-rules-against-anti-abortion-175744235.html  Shooting Outside of Raleigh, NC Clinic  https://www.wral.com/staff-at-raleigh-abortion-clinic-slam-police-after-protester-s-shooting/19565363/  Kentucky Clinic Escort Assaulted, A Week After A Cop Protested https://www.wdrb.com/news/surveillance-video-released-by-louisville-abortion-clinic-shows-lmpd-officer-marching-in-protest/article_3d8ade82-7e16-11eb-83f8-db0a258683d6.html https://www.facebook.com/LouSafetyZone/photos/pcb.2791660591096284/2791660141096329  Meaty Story  Melissa Grant joins the Sleeper Cell, CEO of carafem, with clinics central to Atlanta, Chicago, Nashville, and Washington, DC.

Y’all this is a WEEK. We’ve got South Carolina trying to ban abortion before most folks know they are pregnant; HHS prospect Xavier Beccerra facing a barrage of questions about JUST abortion because THAT’S the health crisis we’re facing...SMDH AND if that isn’t bad enough one of Marie’s pet snails ate another one. PLUS- We are so PSYCHED to be joined by Maysoon Zayid, badass comedian, our favorite soap opera star AND and incredible disability rights advocate.

We open with the sad news that South Carolina passed a so-called ‘heartbeat’ ban- rest assured though, Planned Parenthood and the Center for Reproductive Rights has already filed suit on this attack on abortion care. We bask in Rush Limbaugh’s passing; when you dedicate a standing segment on your radio show to celebrating the deaths of gay men from AIDs, we will toast your death. Montana has been hit with no less than SIX abortion restrictions in the works, and we are watching a Book of Revelations-eque piece of Tennessee legislation that would allow the sperm source to block an abortion. (Spoiler alert: no one cares about rape or incest.) But the big news from this week is how the horrific weather that has hit Texas and other areas of the South will create immediate effects on accessing abortion care, once clinics and funds can reopen.  Gathered in the Sleeper Cell Lizz Winstead @lizzwinstead Moji Alawode-El @mojilocks Marie Khan @mkhanj  Follow us on Twitter! @accessforce Breaking News South Carolina “Heartbeat” Ban Passed https://apnews.com/article/sc-governor-signs-abortion-ban-2cd9e039d63fb071427db688d7ef8f05  Quick Hits A Moment of Non-Silence for the Shit People We Lost in 2021 https://www.wonkette.com/god-gives-up-rush-limbaugh-for-lent https://www.lgbtqnation.com/2021/02/rush-limbaugh-used-celebrate-deaths-gay-men-aids-radio-show/  Montana Legislation Pushes Half a Dozen Abortion Restrictions https://www.bozemandailychronicle.com/news/mtleg/montana-legislature-taking-up-broad-slate-of-bills-aimed-at-abortion/article_2dd8cdc0-53fc-5569-b514-bfc44992c91f.htmlhttps://www.mtpr.org/post/republican-lawmakers-attempt-restrict-abortion-access-montana  Tennessee Bullshit https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/us-politics/tennessee-lawmakers-abortion-bill-b1803097.html Meaty Story What Happens When Weather, Politicians, and Systematic Racism Collide https://www.nytimes.com/2021/02/16/opinion/medicaid-abortion-planned-parenthood-texas.html?action=click&module=Opinion&pgtype=Homepage Support the Texas Abortion Community!Lilith Fund, https://www.lilithfund.org/, @lilithfundWhole Women’s Health Alliance, https://www.wholewomanshealthalliance.org/, @WWHAlliance Clinic Access Support Network, https://www.clinicaccess.org/, @casnhtx Frontera Fund, paypal.me/FronteraFund, @LaFronteraFund Texas Equal Access Fund, https://linktr.ee/teafund, @TEAFund   Six Degrees Can Lizz Tie Dwayne Johnson aka The Rock to Abortion?! https://www.vulture.com/article/young-rock-nbc-sitcom-review.html  Announcements Support the Black Maternal Health Momnibus Act! https://actionnetwork.org/forms/sign-the-petition-support-saving-black-lives-support-the-black-maternal-health-momnibus-act?source=2021Momnibus_AAF&referrer=group-abortion-access-front&redirect=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.aafront.org%2F Make your voice heard on the Love Life FB stream and condemn their hatred of reproductive choice: https://www.facebook.com/lovelifeusa/  All the housekeeping Write a review / give us 5 stars - it’s the best way for our podcast to reach more people!Follow us on social @accessforce on Twitter/Instagram/Facebook/tikok and YouTubeEmail us at podcast@aaforce.org! Edited by Brad Pearson, theme song by Cory Eischen, The Purple Xperience DONATE TO Abortion Access Force/Feminist Sleeper Cell pod!!!!

We can breathe slightly easier knowing that our nation has a new administration- but we cannot pause in demanding that the racist and classist Hyde Amendment be overturned. And as we shake our heads at the mountains of Trump pardons (so glad that Elliott Broidy can get back to hushing up pregnancies) we are reveling in how ex-legislator Derrick Evans’ clinic harassment is being scrutinized. We are excited for Robin Marty, abobo historian, author, and activist to give us a crash course on Joe Schiedler, founder of the Prolife Action League. who died this week at age 93. Scheidler was one of the OG abortion extremists, and Robin takes us on a scary trip down Scheidler lane and gives us a reality check about his legacy and the harm it hath wrought.  Gathered in the Sleeper Cell Lizz Winstead @lizzwinstead Moji Alawode-El @mojilocks Marie Khan @mkhanj  Guest Robin Marty @robinmarty Follow us on Twitter! @accessforce Quick Hits What Can Biden-Harris Do Right Now? https://www.npr.org/sections/president-biden-takes-office/2021/01/21/959170860/biden-administration-prepares-to-overturn-trump-abortion-rule  Trump Pardons Two Antis  Representative Rick Renzi  https://abcnews.go.com/Blotter/story?id=4408794&page=1 https://www.12news.com/article/news/politics/former-arizona-congressman-rick-renzi-pardoned-by-president-trump/75-ffc3f0a6-cd26-41c2-98b6-39540435f4c9 Elliott Broidy https://nymag.com/intelligencer/2018/05/more-evidence-that-broidy-was-covering-for-trump-in-affair.html https://www.newsweek.com/elliott-broidy-donald-trump-pardon-gop-fundraiser-1562908 https://www.politico.com/news/2021/01/20/trump-pardons-exits-white-house-460586 We Knew About Derrick Evans  https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/us-politics/capitol-siege-derrick-evans-trump-maga-b1788368.html Meaty Story Joe Scheidler Is Dead- Where’s The Rapture?  https://apnews.com/article/us-news-us-supreme-court-chicago-64f4fe81c88ae96994923634f6182d2bhttps://pressfolios-production.s3.amazonaws.com/uploads/story/story_pdf/185828/1858281456074208.pdfWrath of Angels- https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1999414.Wrath_of_Angels  Six Degrees Can Lizz connect Fruit Roll Ups to Abortion? https://www.cnn.com/2021/01/21/entertainment/chrissy-teigen-inauguration/index.html Events Tell Iowa that HSB 41  https://www.legis.iowa.gov/legislation/BillBook?ga=89&ba=HSB41 https://www.legis.iowa.gov/committees/subcommitteePublicComments?meetingID=32212&action=viewCommitteePublicComments&fbclid=IwAR1Gd5KzveRDui3Fu9WRiMHdhWZX_D_BEVmuAsjjZD0tYYu94IVK0NMQ8hY  All the housekeeping Write a review / give us 5 stars - it’s the best way for our podcast to reach more people!Follow us on social @accessforce on Twitter/Instagram/Facebook/tikok and YouTubeEmail us at podcast@aaforce.org! Edited by Brad Pearson, theme song by Cory Eischen, The Purple Xperience DONATE TO Abortion Access Force/Feminist Sleeper Cell pod!!!!
