In this timely episode, Alexa and Maritza dive into “Life's Work: A Moral Argument for Choice” by Dr. Willie Parker—it is both memoir and a call to action. Dr. Parker is an abortion provider and a Christian. He describes the way his upbringing and values inspire him to do the work of providing women with safe and compassionate care. At a moment like this, when so many of us are afraid, angry, and unsure of what to do next, this book is a great place to start. We paired this book with Tank Winery 2021 La Loba, Carbonic White Wine from El Dorado County in California. With this Tank Cares label, they are raising $1 from every bottle sold in support of Women's Rights organizations UN Women, Fos Feminista, and Center for Reproductive Rights.And for this important issue, we launched a new line on our Etsy Shop—Bottles, Novels, & Abortion Rights. A portion of the proceeds will be donated to Planned Parenthood.Below are some of the ways you can help support the fight on reproductive rights:1. For those in a position to do so, donate to: Abortion Funds, Keep Our Clinics, Planned Parenthood, and Indigenous Women Rising. 2. If someone you know needs an abortion, send them to ineedana.com. 3. Get educated on abortion pills. Visit @plancpills. 4. Share your voice with your elected officials. 5. Join a protest or share your story. 6. FUCKING VOTE. Local elections matter.
Over Pride weekend this year, the Supreme Court overturned a 49-year-old precedent established in 1973 in Roe v. Wade, reversing the federal right to abortion access in the US. This by itself is a massive social and legal earthquake, but the aftershocks--as promised by Justice Thomas--could reverse other rights. In today's PrideCast, we cover that decision, the basis for it, what may come next, and dive in deep to the legal and constitutional concepts of Substantive Due Process and the Right to Privacy. Our guest today is Julie Gonen (PhD, JD), the federal policy director for the National Center for Lesbian Rights, an expert on reproductive law and just the person we want to talk to about Dobbs and Roe.A few resources for our listeners (referenced in the podcast):Map of state laws: https://reproductiverights.org/maps/abortion-laws-by-state/See ineedana.com for up to date info on which clinics are operating throughout the countryDonate to Keep Our Clinics to provide direct support to independent clinicsDonate to Abortion Funds: A donation to the National Network of Abortion Funds brings abortion funds closer to a future where all people have access to abortion without shame or stigma.

Gloria is joined by Jessica Arons, senior policy counsel at the ACLU, to talk about the decades-long legal battle by abortion rights opponents to overturn Roe. They discuss how we got here, what's being done to get our rights back, and what the Dobbs decision will mean for our already inadequate child care system. Plus, Jessica tells the personal story of what made her devote her life's work to fighting for reproductive rights.

In 17th Century Paris, Catherine Monvoisin was a famous fortune-teller, poisoner, and practitioner of black magic. She helped Paris high society with their problems. Her poisons and black magic may have had a hand in murdering between 1,000 and 2,500 people. And then she got involved with a woman looking for help killing her lover -- King Louis IVX. That's where things got messy for La Voisin.

**Disclaimer! Hey y'all, just a heads up- we had a helluva time recording this week with several unwarranted technological attacks! So if it sounds like a parts are spliced together, well, it's because it was! We hope it doesn't interrupt your listening enjoyment, since, you know, this episode rocks!** Hey there, Queerdos! How's everyone's week been? Bad? Yeah, ours too. But we're so glad to spend some time with you, swapping tales of the menacing and the macabre. First: Edie's True Crime Story takes us back to the Satanic Panic to discuss the horrific trauma children and community members in Manhattan Beach suffered at the hands of... the criminal legal system. Next: Kevin's Spoopy Tale takes us to 1990 Montreal's behemoth Place Bonaventure building, where a bunch of rooftop pool-goers saw mysterious lights and what appeared to be a 1000ft-long UFO (or NVOI in French) chilling in the sky for 3 hours... Some great organizations that need all of our support: More than 80 local funds are part of the National Network of Abortion Funds. Member funds help people pay for procedures, abortion pills, transportation and lodging, childcare, doula/emotional support, and other needs. Organizations in states under threat of "trigger laws"--Texas, Missouri, Arkansas, Idaho, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, North Dakota, Oklahoma, South Dakota, Utah, and Wyoming--are all asking for necessary financial support. (https://abortionfunds.org/) Keep Our Clinics is a campaign that helps independent clinics that provide abortions stay open. You can donate to the campaign generally or donate to a specific clinic. (https://keepourclinics.org/ and https://abortioncarenetwork.org/abortion-care-providers/) The Repro Legal Defense Fund covers bail and funds strong defenses for people who are investigated, arrested, or prosecuted for self-managed abortion or for helping someone else end their pregnancy.

In December 1978, 6 men wearing black ski masks and driving a stolen van broke into the cargo terminal at JFK Airport in New York. They were there to steal a whole lot of money and carry out what is still the largest cash robbery ever committed on US soil. Today we're talking about the Lufthansa Heist, the New York Mob in the 1970s and 1980s, and everything in between.

Today we're talking about abortion. The topic holds significant relevance right now because of the leaked draft from the Supreme Court, which threatens to overturn Roe v Wade. One in four women will get an abortion over the course of her reproductive life yet it's rarely talked about. The taboo nature of it can make it feel shameful even if our beliefs say otherwise. So today we're layout out statistics, Em's sharing her story & we're sharing perspective that we hope will continue a larger conversation & help other women feel less alone.

The O+G Advocates react to the leaked SCOTUS Opinion, along with Drs. Caitlin Bernard, Luu Ireland, and Tracey Wilkinson. These abortion activists discuss the implication of overturning Roe v. Wade, the landmark 1973 decision that legalized abortion, and talk honestly about how frustrated and angry they are at this juncture. We come together in community, not only to grieve this impact on our patients, but also to support each other and find a way forward. Tune in to this special reaction episode, where we curse, rage, and strategize how to get through this moment in history.

Roe v. Wade was issued just over 49 years ago, and in the months ahead, we're faced with the very real possibility that the Supreme Court could effectively overturn it. Plus, conservative lawmakers in at least 29 states have been racing to pass new anti-abortion restrictions. We're joined by Destiny Lopez, co-president of All* Above All, to discuss what abortion justice organizers are doing to defend the right to choose and how we can support them. The Pentagon announced that 3,000 additional U.S. troops will be deployed to Eastern Europe to support NATO nations amid concerns of a possible Russian invasion into Ukraine. And in headlines: Tonga went into lockdown after reporting five cases of the coronavirus, Brian Flores filed a class-action lawsuit against the NFL and CNN President Jeff Zucker stepped down.

On September 1st, 2021, Texas effectively banned abortion in the state. Amy Hagstrom Miller, founder and CEO of Whole Woman's Health and Whole Woman's Health Alliance, sits down to talk to us about the tremendous stress that Texas's new legislation has already had on patients, abortion providers, clinic staff, and abortion funds. Texas's SB8 outlaws abortion care after six weeks of pregnancy—far before many people even know they are pregnant and before many people can even receive an abortion appointment due to the pre-existing restrictive laws in Texas. Because they are so blatantly unconstitutional, six-week abortion bans have been knocked down in twelve states before Texas. The statute also empowers Texas residents to become pseudo-vigilantes, reporting anyone who “aids and abets” someone in accessing an abortion. The Supreme Court allowed the law to be enforced on September 2nd. For more detailed information on the Texas law, check out our past podcast episode here. This new ruling will force patients to drive out-of-state to receive basic abortion care, putting a burden on the healthcare infrastructure of neighboring states like New Mexico, Oklahoma, and Kansas. The law also puts an enormous emotional weight on the staff of clinics like Whole Woman's Health, who are being forced to tell patients that they cannot receive the abortion care that they need.
