Catholic Hospitals Are Cannibalizing Abortion Access! With Aida Rodriguez & Vanessa Arenas
Full episode transcript HERE.
The garbage anti-abobo people of America got real busy this week, but no need to fear, your Feminist Buzzkills are here to sift through all of the hot steaming trash for y’all! Catholic hospitals are doing what they do best and gobbling up small non-religiously-affiliated hospitals. We’re also blabbing about Qatar Airways announcing it will NO LONGER do invasive gynecological exams on passengers. Hold up-- what?! Yeah, it’s a thing, and the details of this story are soooo disgusting you may wanna wear a hazmat suit when you listen. We’re breaking it all down and more including the juicy deets on Texas AG Ken Paxton suing Yelp for identifying fake clinics as…um… fake clinics. We couldn’t make this shit up if we tried.
SPECIAL GUEST ROLL CALL: The Buzzkills welcome stellar researcher and Senior Project Manager at The Society of Family Planning, Vanessa Arenas, to talk about the assault on birth control, their latest extensive study on accessing care post-Dobbs, AKA #WeCount, and why YOU should know all about it.
PLUS, the hilarious and inspirational comedian, actor, author, and Latina badass, Aida Rodriguez, is in the house buzzkilling with us about dragging the patriarchy in comedy and life, her new memoir Legitimate Kid and reminiscing about being on the battleground with AAF. Every exhale is an inspiration.
Times are heavy, but knowledge is power, y’all. We gotchu.
