Feminist Buzzkills

It’s the Eve of Halloween and the week was full of creepy crawlies! Like Billy Corgan slithering into our timelines with the white man horror classics. This week’s abobolandia news is putting the “trick” in trick-or-treat: the Assman-In-Chief has ordered all his minions running for office to stand down any plans related to stripping abortion access until after the midterms. Have no fear! Lizz and Moji are gonna fill you in on A BIG ABORTION story that is simmering on the back burner at the EPA! You need to hear this if we are gonna fight back when the...

The anti-abortion goblins are out, and unfortunately, putting a twelve-foot skeleton in your yard will not keep them out of your medical decisions. The Feminist Buzzkills are back to help you defeat the bodily autonomy snatchers this spooky-ass election season. PLUS, what gremlin of a man is all up on the new season of Love Is Blind accusing pregnant 11-year-olds of "just not getting around to" getting their abortions? We're exposing the misogynistic nightmares that haunted reality TV this week!

In this episode, your Feminist Buzzkills bring another installment of the AAF series: Operation Save Abortion! It’s a VIDEO and audio podcast LIVE from the lawn of the Nation’s Capitol where Lizz and Moji were joined by abortion storytellers and all-around badasses to bring you the ultimate Medication Abortion 101.

How do abortion pills work? Why do people choose them? Are they safe? Where can you get them? And why are anti-abortion extremists so DES...

ENCORE ALERT! If you’ve been anywhere near us lately, you know we’ve been VERY busy yelling about mifepristone. Lizz and Moji have been MIA from the podosphere the last couple of weeks because our badass team at Abortion Access Front just wrapped up the Mife Stories Project in DC, a 24-HOUR mifepristone storytelling marathon, where we joined some incredible leaders in the pro-abobo movement to read aloud the real stories of people who have accessed this medication and wanted to share their truth. Because while the anti-abortion movement keeps doubling down on the same tired lies and misi...

Earlier this week, the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals heard arguments in Louisiana v. FDA, the case that could decide whether mifepristone remains available through telehealth, pharmacies, and the mail. If ya didn’t know, for the last YEAR The Boot State has been obsessing over giving access to the abortion pill mifepristone the boot. So you best believe the Buzzkills dove head, nose, ears, and tatas-first into the fuckery of the oral arguments so you don’t have to! Lizz and Moji break down all the legal jargon, courtroom chaos, the standing question, the “irreparable harm” claims, and what may...

ENCORE ALERT! The Feminist Buzzkills are off for a much needed end-of-summer break! But, no need to fear! We’re leaving y’all with some extra brain juice to keep you company while we’re offline. One thing about us: we will ALWAYS do THE MOST to protect medication abortion. So, in honor of that, we’re dropping an encore episode from May, when we tried to make sense of the mifepristone case headed to the Fifth Circuit.

If you’re not already familiar with Louisiana v. FDA or need a refresher on WTF is going on, t...

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 Univ...

Another week, another weekly dose of your fav podcast, and international abortion hellscapes are just where it starts! Your Buzzkills explore the fatberg of shitty reactions to Massachusetts expanding abortion access, plus a short trip to the land of magical anti-abortion thinking, AKA a place where people (mostly white dudes) ask questions no one wanted answered, like: What if we decriminalized rape so people could get fewer abortions, since states only allow abortions in “exceptions” like rape? PLUS! We’ll sprinkle on a sliver of good news, update you on the surrogate story from hell, and unpack questions people ACTUAL...

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. 

 ...

Lizz is off being fabulous at a super cool abortion conference this week so Moji is joined by the brilliant, Legal Analyst Baddie known as Jess Pieklo!! Wooooooooo! Jess and Moj are getting into the dirty deets of Florida's latest attempt to win the gold medal in the Anti-Science Olympics. PLUS! Because cops continue to find new and creative ways to disappoint us, they also cover reports out of Boulder, Colorado, where police officers have been praying alongside anti-abortion protesters outside clinics. ACAB means all cops, even the ones who think they're moonlighting as pastors. BUT HOLD UP, they’re...

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 educatio...

Holy Cyclosporiaaaaaa Batman! This week in Abobolandia was literally a shitstorm. Lizz and Moji have the deets about the confirmation hearings of acting Attorney General Todd Blanche AND your faithful Buzzkills dissect the latest scheme cuntservatives have hatched to try and end mifepristone. Expect Planned Parenthood, E. Jean Carroll, and Lindsey Graham updates, too — this week’s podcast is so juicily whacktastic.

Lizz and Moji are taking out the trash, AKA the HHS’s new “IVF embryos are babies” scheme. Plus, their ginormous cuts to teen pregnancy prevention programs and the new and nefarious ways they wanna spend that cash. HINT: it involves abstinence, trans “derangement,” and a whole slop of other BS.

We had to bring in the heaviest hitter for this week’s Dobbs anniversary podcast. Your Buzzkills have the perfect guest for this horribleversary — journalist and author of Killers of Roe, Amy Littlefield. Amy breaks down for Lizz and Moji the deep cuts and the backroom buffoons who, for 50 years, were plotting and scheming the obliteration of Roe. Killers of Roe is...

All-Options is the counter to sketchy anti-abortion fake clinics, which THANK G...

Lizz and Moji are back with a piping hot batch of podcast just for you! They scoured last weekend’s chunderfest that was the TRAD POINT USA fest (AKA Charlie Kirk’s Angels auditions) so you didn’t have to! Then to go even darker, they go deep into uncovering a chaotic scheme involving two anti-abortion clowns who fully live in Tennessee but have decided to run for congress in New Jersey and… Hawaii? We can’t make this shit up.

It’s not all shitstorms, though! Lizz gives Stephen Colbert his flowers in honor of his last show, Moji brings Betty Boop-related tea to spill, and your Buzzkills dr...

The Supreme Court says abortion pills can still be mailed… FOR NOW! Which means Lizz and Moji have spent the last several days stress sweating through every twist, loophole, and terrifying little breadcrumb in this mifepristone decision. We break down what the ruling actually means, how Clarence Thomas and Sam Alito continue their quest to become the most divorced-from-reality men alive, and why anti-abortion extremists are still doing everything they can to drag abortion access back to the Stone Age using junk science, legal chaos, and the world’s crustiest ideology.

AND because the universe refus...

IT’S BEEN A WEEK!!! Lizz and Moji have been chugging Imodium the last seven days as they follow the twists and turns of the Fifth Circus Court ruling that created a federal ban and put the mail distribution of the abortion pill mifepristone on the chopping block. Between Sam Alito giving us a week of reprieve to dial back our panic to 23/7 and the FDA assessing the fate of abortion medication using a debunked “study” (really just a forced-birth fever dream scribbled on fishwrap), we were already hanging by a thread. Then Oklahoma decided to do the absolute most b...

hearing against the FACE (Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances) Act convened by anti-abortion extremists on the House Judiciary Committee! If you could stomach the question, “What’s your favorite type of abortion?” WE TOOK A ZOFRAN AND BARRELLED THROUGH IT FOR YOU! PLUS, Tennessee’s Attorney General just CANCELED a Very Very Important lawsuit challenging Tennessee’s near-total abortion ban that literally everyone and their mother has been waiting for. Meanwhile, scientists have made sure a male birth control with ZERO side effects exists, AND it may reverse aging, AND other cool perks! Take that, ladies! We hate it here.<...

TW: Topics of SA and r*pe between the timestamps of 14:26-23:00.

Abobolandia is a dumpster fire of sexpest-maxxing this week and Lizz and Moji are diving into it all for you. Plus…. Word on the street is the newly-released abortion DOJ “investigation” mentions AAF – god forbid a girl has hobbies. Plus Unpacking Swalwell is and the CNN R*pe Academy story. This episode is bound to piss you off, so buckle up and raise some rage and awareness with your Feminist Buzzkills.

It’s another edition of “What the actual fuck is going on?” LFG.

Our intrepid Feminist Buzzkills Lizz and Moji are back and bringing good news from Middle Earth — you know, Illinois and Wisconsin. They also go deep laying out how this week's attack on birth control, abortion, military rights, and voting rights are the latest ingredients in the larger toxic stew of oppression being cooked up by our enemies for 2027. COOL.

The Feminist Buzzkills are doing what they do best… raging against whatever patriarchal BS the misogynistic minions spewed out this week! If we have to know about it, so do you! The Sunshine State is doing the most to go full-on FORCED C-Section State, and we’re spilling the latest updates about the Georgia woman charged with MURDER for allegedly trying to self-manage her abortion, and are Viola Davis and James Patterson the pro-abobo duo we’ve been yearning for?!

Our fav Buzzkill babes Lizz and Moji are coming at ya this week with incredible topics and incredible guests! First off- We truly owe them a debt of gratitude — they took one for the feminist team, and watched the Netflix Inside the Manosphere documentary so we don’t have to. Warning: after listening, be prepared for the overwhelming urge to jump in the shower and scrub the misogyny off for the next 12 hours.

We are soooooooo back! It’s our FAVORITE time of the year: ABORTION PROVIDER APPRECIATION WEEK! Abortion Provider Day is on March 10th. It was started in memory of Dr. David Gunn, who was murdered by an anti-abortion extremist in 1993. As always, we choose to both honor the abortion providers who lost their lives and have been harmed by violent extremists, as well as the badass folks who continue to provide abortion care to anyone who needs it. So what better way to celebrate than for Lizz and Moji to remind y’all of ALL the ways YOU can supp...

TW: there is a story about sexual assault of minors around the time stamp 14:10-21. 

Our Feminist Buzzkill Lizz is solo this week, serving you a pod full of horror — but with that super sweet pro-abortion cherry on top! She brings you up to speed on the latest WTAF reports of the government rounding up pregnant migrant teens and shipping them to a Texas prison known for not providing adequate healthcare. Yes, you read that right. Add in increased cases of pregnancy criminalization and the Right’s continued crusade against abortion pills out of Kentucky and Lo...

Your weekly report from Abobolandia is here, it’s hot, and it’s served up fresh with a heavy dollop of snark. 

The attacks on the abortion pill mifepristone continue. HHS just said pharmacies don’t have to stock abortion pills anymore. Cool cool cool. Totally normal functioning democracy stuff.

Meanwhile, manufacturers of the pill are gearing up to fight what could become a national telehealth abortion ban, and for once we're actually rooting for Big Pharma. We won't make it a thing, we promise. 

GUEST ROLL CALL:

Your Feminist Buzzkills are pouring out all the latest abobo-related tea that is bound to curdle your girdle! Nobody is coming to save us, folks—we’re doing the damn thing ourselves.

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.

While Lizz is out spreading the pro-abortion gospel, your Buzzkill bestie Moji is joined by AAF Head Writer Alyssa Al-Dookhi, AKA Dooks, to dish on the latest and unfortunately-almost-always-not-so-greatest goings-on in the abobosphere! As abortion access is attacked on every front, you’ll hear about the scrappy communities coming together to make abortion care attainable for everyone, and how those attacks don’t just stop at abortion… they want to make your IVF and fertility treatments more dangerous, too! But don’t worry— Moji and Dooks are delivering you a refreshing palate cleanser as they look at just how pro-aborti...

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.

*Mariah Carey voice* IT’S TIIIIIIIIME… For our annual year-in-review! HOE-HOE-HOLY shit, Buzzkillianas. 2025 was a hellacious year in Abortlandia, so you already know the Feminist Buzzkills are re-hashing, re-roasting, re-raging, and even re-celebrating over what went down this year in regards to all tings repro-related.

Lizz and Moji took a little sleigh ride down memory lane, made their lists checking them twice, and figured out what stories were the naughtiest, the nicest and the bizarre AF-est! From a certain brainworm host thinking the nation guzzles abortion water, to exposing the hypocrisy of an anti-abobo Bible humpe...

EPISODE TW: Physical assault. 

Satan’s misogynistic minions were hard at work this week… but so were we! The Supreme Court heard not one, but TWO abobo-related cases this week: First Choice Women’s Resource Centers v. Platkin AND a case involving a violent clinic harasser we personally know all too well. SCOTUS is playing with the safety of pregnant people, the future of clinic protections, and the legality of deception as a political strategy. Did you think we’d let you drown in legalese all on your lonesome? HELL NO! Moji is flying solo this week...

ENCORE ALERT! The Feminist Buzzkills are out on a summer break! But, no need to fear – we’re leaving y’all with some extra brain juice to keep you company while we’re offline. We’re dropping an ENCORE POD EPISODE of when we collabed with the iconic “Boom! Lawyered” hosts Imani Gandy and Jess Pieklo IN DC and broke down SCOTUS’ Medina v. Planned Parenthood South Atlantic arguments back in April. It went a little something like this…
