Hoosier Hero? With Dr. Caitlin Bernard

MINI-SODE ALERT! The Feminist Buzzkills are out on a summer break, but we know your earholes need a pro-abobo fix – so we GOTCHU!    GUEST ROLL CALL: Remember the story of the Indiana OB-GYN who, just days after Roe v. Wade was overturned, performed a LIFE-SAVING abortion on a 10-year-old CHILD who was turned away for care by the state of Ohio back in 2022? WELL, your Buzzkills brought in that AMAZING provider who stays fighting the good fight in and around the Hoosier State. Dr. Caitlin Bernard, Indiana-based OB-GYN and Assistant Professor at Indiana University Medical School, joins the Buzzkills to yap about the growing-up-in-a-hippie-commune to becoming-a-doctor pipeline and the devastating impact of USAID cuts. She also gets real about the exodus of OB-GYNs and med students from states with bans and shares what it means to provide abortion care in a state with a near-total abortion ban where anti-abobo cuntservatives are coming for providers. Sometimes hope looks like a doctor who refuses to quit and instead keeps fighting like hell. PLUS! She joins us in one of our fav pastimes — dragging a couple of garbage barnacle Attorney General goons.   Times are heavy, but knowledge is power, y’all. We gotchu.    URGENT ACTION: Share Your Medication Abortion Story Now! Telling your story can help protect mifepristone and ensure others have the same opportunity you did to choose their own path.
