Abortion Access & Myths with Moji & Marie of @abortionfront & Feminist Buzzkills Pod - Ep. 33

Mindful Minds

CW: Abortion, brief mention of nonconsensual sexual interactions, violence against Black women (specifically in medical care), misogyny, brief mention of abuse/DV, trauma/manipulation regarding crisis pregnancy centers

This week we have the absolutely incredible Moji Alawode-El (she/her) & Marie Khan (she/her) of Feminist Buzzkills Live and Abortion Access Front on to talk about abortion, abortion access, myths, and so much more. This is one of the most educational episodes of the podcast thus far, and I would highly suggest listening all the way through, especially if you are someone with a uterus. Their knowledge is incredibly valuable, especially at this time in our society.

If you want to learn more from Moji & Marie and benefit from all of their wisdom and education, please hop over to @abortionfront to keep up on their podcast/YouTube Show, Feminist Buzzkills Live, hosted with Lizz Winstead, that airs every week! This show breaks down “weekly news from Patriarchy’s evil trilogy of misogny, white supremacy, and anti-abortion extremism.” You can also go to aafront.org to learn more about Abortion Access Front and to support their organization and help support independent abortion clinics across the country!

Marie also works for Midwest Access Coalition which is a practical support abortion fund that helps fund travel expenses (plane/train fares, Ubers, hotel fees, childcare, etc.) for individuals in the midwest who need to travel for abortion care. You can learn more about them and support their fund at midwestaccesscoalition.org.
