The amazing comedy writer, Patrick Baker is donating a portion of the proceeds from his presidential comedy book, The Presidential Dickerbook, to Lady Parts Justice League!!

We're Back! Our vibe is currently "At least it's not 2016 anymore." Lizz and Julie chat with Heather Busby about the recent hearing over fetal burial and guess what? Texas does NOT have their shit together. The new power shift in Kentucky and Missouri puts the states at the hands of completely Republican controlled state governments for the first time in a long time, which is not fairing well so far.

I'm sure we're all feeling a little debate hangover today. In this minisode, we spew out our thoughts immediately following the first presidential debate of 2016. When will they ask about women?

Repro Madness made the rounds at Netroots Nation 2016 and interviewed some incredible reproductive rights and justice warriors from all over the country. Representative Jan Schakowsky from Illinois gives us the inside scoop as a ranking member of the Select Investigative Panel on Infant Lives and what's at stake in the upcoming election. Elana Levin of Make the Road Action, the political arm of NY's largest participatory immigrant organization, dropped some knowledge about art, activism, and culture at our Radio Row booth! Jessica Gonzales-Rojas from the Latina Institute for Reproductive Health taught us our new favorite inclusive, non-binary pronoun: latinx. We also hear from Filmmaker Tracy Dros Tragos and Dr. Erin King. Repro Madness discussed their new HBO film, Abortion: Stories Women Tell, a powerful film portraying real people across the full spectrum of abortion rights and access in our country.

We are joined by Rachel Tardiff, Deputy Outreach Director for Media Matters for America, for a special interview about their new study: How Cable News Talks About Abortion. Ms. Tardiff possesses an incredible wealth of knowledge on the subject and helps us break down the dangerous misinformation that cable news networks spread about abortion over a 14-month period.

The most feminist week ever started with Hillary making herstory and Beyonce concerts but ended with abortion restrictions in South Carolina. Sharron Paul and Ashley Gray also break down the new state legislation trend of banning D&E’s, a common second trimester procedure, the douchiest republican assemblyman in Staten Island, and Oklahoma passing the most ridiculous sex ed program that they can’t even afford to enforce.

Recorded LIVE from NYC PodFest 2016 with special guests author/writer/editor extraordinaire, Joan Walsh, and improv king, Greg Proops! We talk feminism, comedy, the election, state-level abortion restrictions, and Oklahoma. Big thanks to Cake Shop and NYC Podfest for having us!

We are bathing in Beyonce’s #Lemonade over here in Brooklyn, laughing at the Cruz/Fiorina team-up, digging Mary Pat Christie’s side eye, and crying over the f*ckery that’s happening in Oklahoma. Plus, we chat about the Satanic Temple’s newest stunt, a Federal win for trans* people, a lady who saw a crucifix in her ultrasound, and Alabama’s personhood problems.
