    Every single one of you are such a joy to listen to, even when it feels like we’ve hit bottom and somehow dug deeper. It’s hard to find the words to express the gratitude, but I hope y’all never stop!!

    HILARIOUS. INFORMATIVE. NECESSARY!
    This is my weekly check in with the state of The States legal shenanigans in the world of abortion. Thought provoking, chuckle inducing and inspiring. Thanks Lizz and Moji!

    Fabulous Podcast
    You do an amazing job of braiding factual information with narrative storytelling and humor. And I’m so grateful for the research you do finding the mind blowing stories every episode. Most of this info is not highlighted by mainstream media and I’d never hear all this important information. Thank you for all you do protecting our rights and motivating us to fight.

    Just the BEST podcast
    I’m not sure how I heard about or stumbled across this podcast, but I’m so glad I did. It’s my favorite podcast now!!! All the information on abortion access that you need & what garbage laws are being cooked up in statehouses around the country. The hosts are angry AND hilarious & don’t mince words & they are exactly what we need right now in this dark post Roe world. The guests are fantastic & come from small independent abortion clinics, the entertainment industry, & pro-abortion activist groups. They also tell you what you can do to help the situation. If you care about freedom & whether women & marginalized people get shoved backward; this podcast is a must.

    I was pro choice
    I was pro choice until I had an abortion, this is your sign not to do it 🫀

    Funny, Smart and so much info!
    With all of the crazy happening around abortion, these funny peeps break it all down so I can finally understand. Too many things at once for a normal person to figure it out, so thank you guys. And the guests are so good. I never knew there were so many different people working to help us all with our reproductive health rights and they are so interesting. I don’t hear anyone else talking about this stuff that everyone needs to know! So many really funny guests, too. Love this pod.

    Laughter in dark times
    This podcast is outstanding. Not only do they keep you up to date on all the latest in reproductive news across the country (the good, the bad and the totally f-ed) but they do it with humor that makes you think, “oh thank god, I’m not alone.” Thank god for these ladies.

    Keeping Our Rights In The Front Lines
    I love this pod. It's depressing as heck! But that's why it's so essential. They keep us informed of what is actually happening out there across the country, both at the legal level and the individual level. Thank you so much for keeping up the good fight!
  • GardenMom56
    Very informative
    Great place to hear what is really happening in state houses to further strip away the rights of women over their bodies. Expressed in educational and sometime humorous way, I highly recommend. Even those that are uncomfortable with abortion, you need to pay attention to the reality of what legislators are trying to do.
  • Georgia Levi
    THE PERFECT PODCAST FOR RIGHT NOW!!
    So much misinformation in today’s dark and scary anti-abortion. So grateful for this podcast to hilariously tell me exactly what’s going on in this country, and what I can do about it. 100/100

    Pro life 🤍
    Here’s to the girl out there who feels the need to abort her baby. Don’t. That’s a precious life inside you it’s your baby it’s a part of you. It’s living and breathing. It has no voice to tell you how he/she feels but it needs it’s mommy. Maybe your not in a place right now where you can properly raise a baby, that’s okay there are millions of ppl out there who would love to adopt your beautiful baby! Abortion is murder and you don’t know how awful you will feel if you take that baby’s life. It will cause depression and a deep since of loss. Plz don’t take your baby’s life. Just think, that life that you just ended could have been the cure to cancer. That one life that you decided not to save could have very well saved millions 🤍

    Very Informative
    This podcast provides in-depth news, that mass media doesn’t cover, on what anti-abortion groups and politicians are doing to try to take away the right to health care. Great podcast.
  • StaceyWinUK
    Awesome Abortion Rights Podcast
    Excellent podcast to follow the latest on efforts to save reproductive healthcare in America. I eagerly await each episode to bolster my spirits: the Feminist Buzzkills team shares what is being done to help women retain bodily freedom. Top-rate commentary breaks down the victories such as in Kansas and the most recent DuPont Clinic episode that offer a counterpoint to the doom of a forced birth world. (And help listeners understand lies perpetrated by forced birth zealots such as the astoundingly ignorant Salt Lake City Councilman who said babies have no connection to women’s bodies!!??) Thank you for your work!

    Real time info we need right now
    This podcast is the go-to place for up to date info on the latest abortion rights changes in states across the country. It’s invaluable, and entertaining. This work is paramount and I applaud Lizz for her work in making this accessible.
  • ElieM7777
    Excellent
    This is an excellent podcast - intelligent, funny, and informative. It is helping me get through these tough (horrifying) days following the Supreme Court’s overturning of Roe v. Wade.
  • pianoKT
    My ABSOLUTE FAV podcast
    Thank you so much for AAF, this podcast and all your work! I’m recommending it to all my feminist friends et al. My sweet, progressive, well-informed boyfriend doesn’t understand my rage ( I tell him it’s bc he’s a privileged white male 😁). And I’m so relieved to now have a group of Sheros who are insightful, hilarious while promoting awareness and action. XXOO 👏🏻💜. (ps. I found you through Michael Moore’s Substack blog. )

    Full Stop- On answering questions
    Thought I’d give this podcast a try. Aimee at Avow couldn’t answer a simple question without using a tag line. It’s embarrassing.

    My New Favorite Podcast
    Listen. Just listen to it. If you’re a pro-forced birther, in which case you should just move to Florida or Texas, dig a deep enough trench at the state line bordering the rest of the US that you simple detach from the continent, and float out to sea. Anyway, these hosts say exactly what we are all thinking when another religious, misogynistic politician or bigot opens their mouth. They bring guests on that work in the field of reproductive healthcare (legally, medically, socially, etc.) that explain rising issues in their area of speciality due to the unhinged legislation coming out over every state right now. Lastly, each episode is full of ways that you can help fight for abortion rights. As a lawyer who clerked in Child Protection (I know, I know… I went into that area of law Bc I thought I could change it…) for years and had to hear the stories of minors seeking abortions who had been impregnated by their fathers, brothers, uncles, cousins, I became extremely passionate about protecting and expanding a minors very limited “right” to an abortion. However, the writing has always been on the wall. Now that doomsday is here, it’s nice to know I’m not alone in my anger and grief. I was just going to dig up dirt on these politicians, blackmail them, and destroy their lives but this podcast works as an outlet too. (If the FBI is reading this, it’s a joke. Chill.) Thank you for everything, ladies. The resources you plug are doing great work and I’m more than happy to contribute to their efforts.

    Funny, smart + informative…
    Smart women podcasters who make me laugh, as well as inform me on all matters pertaining to women’s reproductive health. And I was steeped in fighting for our right to choose 50 years ago, having made the film, “Healthcaring” with Women Make Movies. We need to publicize this terrific podcast!
  • Jenniaynlynn
    Funny and Fabulous
    Helps me stay connected, informed, enlightened, and engaged with real life ways to be involved in protecting reproductive rights for all. Thanks to the hosts, staff and guests for all your work and activism.

  • Finav99
    OBSESSED.
    10/10 podcast! The hosts are so hilarious and so incredibly well informed about reproductive rights, abortion, & healthcare. As someone who grew up not being taught medically and scientifically sound information about reproductive rights, it’s been so nice to have this podcast to mentor me through that learning journey!
  • Hawarious
    Real Talk but Funny
    Being able to listen along and both rage and laugh equally is so needed! I love that real people doing the on-the-ground work in abortion are highlighted every episode.
  • Mmmdawg123
    THANK GODDESS FOR THIS PODESS
    The hosts are so funny and informative, they cover the weekly onslaught of anti-abortion laws and manage to make the depressing hilariously enraging.
  • Rejuvenique
    So good!
    Hilarious and informative, what else do you want?!
  • 시ㅝ고양이
    So informative and funny
    Such an important show for reproductive rights - the news they shine a light on is always jaw dropping and love how they use humor to break through it all.
  • clevernickname54321
    These folks know what’s up
    If you think abortion rights aren’t your fight, think again. The buzzkills are extremely knowledgeable and able to contextualize what’s going on in the fight for reproductive rights within the larger scheme of the daily fascist attacks from the religious right against anybody who isn’t exactly like them. Also they’re funny, so that’s a bonus.
  • artemislenore
