Satan’s misogynistic minions were hard at work this week… but so were we!
Fake clinics and a notorious clinic harasser both landed at the Supreme Court this week, and the legal chaos is absolutely next-level. The court heard First Choice Women’s Resource Centers v. Platkin, a case that could give fake clinics the green light to lie to pregnant people without consequences. And on top of that, the justices also heard a case involving a clinic harasser we personally know all too well: a man with a long history of stalking, threats, and violent behavior at clinics across the country.
Did you think we’d let you drown in legalese all on your lonesome? Not a chance! We’ve got the breakdown in normal peoplespeak on this week’s Feminist Buzzkills pod.

Stick with your intrepid Buzzkill Moji Alawode-El as she flies solo this week while Lizz is out of town, to get some answers from the smartest people we know.
