No Lube, So Rude With Peaches & Dr. Mary Fariba Afsari - Feminist Buzzkills | Lyssna här

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 ACTUALLY want answered like, “What the actual fuck iz “Operation Pangea?”

GUEST ROLL CALL:

What happens when an OB-GYN from the Beaver State gets an RV? Reproductive healthcare hits the road. Portland’s Dr. Mary Fariba Afsari — board-certified OB-GYN and certified badass — is bringing care to rural Oregon and the Pacific Northwest with FemForward Health, her mobile clinic. She joins the Buzzkills to talk Massachusetts ditching its gestational abortion ban, healthcare reform, and her must-read memoir, Labor: One Woman’s Work.

PLUSSSSS! SOUND THE ALARM AND HOLD ONTO YOUR STRAP! The one and only PEACHES is back on the pod! The badass musician and artist returns to blab with the Buzzkills about her No Lube So Rude tour that benefits abortion access, rocking the fuck out of menopause, and taking her rage, joy, voting power, and sex-positive energy on tour at 60!

Times are heavy, but knowledge is power, y’all. We gotchu.
