Doctors Aren’t Safe and Red States Are Paying the Price: Live From Netroots Nation (PT. 3) With Pamela Merritt

Feminist Buzzkills

Full episode transcript HERE.

There’s an abortion training crisis, Buzzkills, and Lizz and Moji want YOU to be informed. In this week’s episode, we get DEEP into it with the oh-so-marvelous Pamela Merritt, Executive Director of Medical Students for Choice. She’s here to educate your earholes with all the deets on how doctors and med students are fleeing states with shitty abortion bans, why EVERY med professional needs abortion training, and how dangerous this is for OBGYN care across America

Your Buzzkills also expose the latest horror story about fake clinics, which involves a pregnant woman who found out in the WORST way just how dangerous these places are and decided to fight back with a class-action lawsuit.

The awesome episode is the last one of the three we recorded live back in July at the Netroots Nation gathering in Chicago. Netroots is the largest gathering of progressive writers, activists, and organizers in America, and the Buzzkills were front and center every day, dropping our abortion knowledge in front of hundreds of attendees each day!

Hope you enjoy it!
