Doctors Aren’t Safe and Red States Are Paying the Price: Live From Netroots Nation (PT. 3) With Pamela Merritt

Full episode transcript HERE.There’s an abortion training crisis, Buzzkills, and Lizz and Moji want YOU to be informed. In this week’s episode, we get DEEP into it with the oh-so-marvelous Pamela Merritt, Executive Director of Medical Students for Choice. She’s here to educate your earholes with all the deets on how doctors and med students are fleeing states with shitty abortion bans, why EVERY med professional needs abortion training, and how dangerous this is for OBGYN care across AmericaYour Buzzkills also expose the latest horror story about fake clinics, which involves a pregnant woman who found out in the WORST way just how dangerous these places are and decided to fight back with a class-action lawsuit. The awesome episode is the last one of the three we recorded live back in July at the Netroots Nation gathering in Chicago. Netroots is the largest gathering of progressive writers, activists, and organizers in America, and the Buzzkills were front and center every day, dropping our abortion knowledge in front of hundreds of attendees each day! Hope you enjoy it!  ::Programming note:::We are going on a summer break but will be back with all new episodes on September 8th. Times are heavy, but knowledge is power, y’all. We gotchu.  OPERATION SAVE ABORTION: You can still join the 10,000+ womb warriors fighting the patriarchy by listening to our five-part OpSave pod series and Mifepristone Panel by clicking HERE for episodes, your toolkit, marching orders, and more. HOSTS:Lizz Winstead @LizzWinsteadMoji Alawode-El @MojiLocks SPECIAL GUESTS: Pamela Merritt TW/Bluesky: @SharkFu // Threads: @pamelamerritt_sharkfu IG/FB: @MSFChoice // TW: @MSFC NEWS DUMP:Domestic Abusers Are Using Abortion Bans to Control Their VictimsActivists Sue Idaho Over ‘Abortion Trafficking’ Travel BanAbortion Rights Opponents Across the Country Want to Charge Women With MurderChild Marriage Is Now Banned in MichiganFake Clinic Failed to Spot an Ectopic Pregnancy, Threatening Patient’s Life, Lawsuit Alleges‘It’s a Public Health Risk’: Nurse Decries Infection Control at US Anti-abortion Crisis CenterA Year Later: Med Students Say Strict Abortion Laws Are Deterrent for Training ​GUEST LINKS:Medical Students for Choice WebsiteDONATE: Medical Students for ChoiceSIGN: Petition to Include Abortion Training in Undergraduate Medical Education EPISODE LINKS:Netroots Nation Website IG: @NetrootsNation TW: @Netroots_NationExpose Fake Clinics6 DEGREES: Naomi Osaka Has a BabyREAD ABOUT AAF IN CHICAGO: Fake Abortion Clinics ‘Bigger Than Ever’SIGN OUR PETITION TO KEEP MIFEPRISTONE ON THE MARKETEmail your abobo questions to The Feminist BuzzkillsAAF’s Abortion-Themed Rage Playlist FOLLOW US:Listen to us ~ FBK Podcast Instagram ~ @AbortionFrontTwitter ~ @AbortionFrontTikTok ~ @AbortionFrontFacebook ~ @AbortionFrontYouTube ~ @AbortionAccessFront PATREON HERE!
