Biscuits, BBQ, and Bodily Autonomy - guess which one you won’t find in the South? We are in FULL rampage mode over the latest update out of Louisiana. The clown governor just signed into law a horrifying bill that reclassifies FDA APPROVED AND EXTREMELY SAFE abortion medications as "controlled dangerous substances." What does this mean for pregnant Louisianans? We brought in Tyler Barbarin of Louisiana Abortion Fund to unpack it all.

PLUS, Texas hits us where it hurts...TWICE. We drag the Texas Health Department for filth for replacing an actual expert on their Maternal Mortality Committee with ANTI-ABORTION fetus-worshipper, Dr. Ingrid Skop. WAIT - It gets worse! Texas Republicans reaffirmed in their party platform that the penalty for aborting any and all fertilized eggs that colonize your uterus is the DEATH PENALTY.

WE GOT MORE GUESTS!! Slovenia's very own powerhouse activist, Nika Kovač is here! The Founding Director of 8th of March Institute tells us about the My Voice, My Choice abortion access initiative, getting doxxed by the ex-prime minister, and how she's obliterating the patriarchy in Europe. WHERE THE LAUGHS AT? Comedian & Author, Kate Willett, has us laughing our nip hairs off about polyamorous horror stories, her new special "Loopholes," and being loud about abortion in her comedy!

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