I'm from OK but moved away, and i was visiting my family when the news hit. I was fucking dreading being there during that time. I spoke my mind and i thought my mom was gonna have a stroke but now they have zero goddamn question where i stand so that's good at least.
when I was a newly divorced single mother of three, I went on a date with a committed Catholic guy who blithely assured me that he didn't care that "I wasn't pure". Pure! Because the three children presumably weren't born by divine intervention but through the agency of my lawful husband. Even to think that showed me we would have problems in the future. Yikes. The relationship didn't last very long.
You have to give the far right credit for playing the long game and being loud and proud. It's long overdue for progressives to match their tactics and aggression.
Long overdue. I think America has been dealing with terrorists when it comes to the Republican party for a number of decades now, and if not as far back as then, I definitely think in the last 10-14 years, with extra emphasis on the last 8 years.
Not having a living wage, is the crime of humanity. Why does society accept that lower wage earners need several jobs just to pay rent & feed the family. 7:348:379:48
You def have to watch it. The laws are vague enough that free speech for example doesn't protect what it should. But we have people here facing no charges who claim its under threat because of social backlash. Stolen valor. It's supposed to protect whistleblowers more than anything and look at how well that turned out.
States like my home state of Kentucky are loosing doctors because they are handcuffed by anti-abortion laws and can't give proper health care to women. It's insane, the religious nonsense that goes on in states like mine. I will be leaving my home state and moving back to Oregon.
I’m also a Kentuckian, and I don’t blame you for leaving. If I had a working uterus, I would too. The legislature doesn’t consider how many young people may go off to college in another state and never return, how many companies may not locate here, or how much tourism it might lose. They aren’t just morally bankrupt, they’re stupid.
If the father, or the father’s family in the case of minors, were legally responsible for pre-natal care of every expectant mother, I guarantee abortions would be legal in every state.

Some thoughts: - 100% of pregnancies are caused by sperm (unless it’s the immaculate conception). I would love to see legislation on the use of condoms for instance as studies exist that it’s usually men who insist/pressure women to go “bare”. Repeat offenders would face fines and criminal charges if a pregnancy results. Regardless which party insisted on using no condoms. This of course on top of other forms of birth control that obviously would need to be low cost/free. I’d start here and then legislate about special tax increases that men of reproductive-age would need to pay regardless of marital status to support the resulting demographic wave of largely lower-income single moms and their babies.
Thanks for the info and stats you give. I love listening to you ladies. Women are the main gender who raise us from birth to 12 grade. This role should be appreciated much more than it is.
I agree with you pumps We should start with making laws for men. I think you should start something since you have something in the legal field. I will be more than happy to support you on this
No one acknowledges that, while the population grew, the number of abortions in the US had been decreasing since 1990 until around the time of the pandemic. Even with the increase at that time the numbers were lower than at the peak. Guess that just wasn't good enough.
A documentary filmmaker interviewed lawmakers in states that tax feminine hygiene products. Turned out a number of the male lawmakers believed women could withhold and release menstrual blood at will, similar to urine.
Here in Florida when citizens concerned with protecting women's reproductive rights gathered enough signatures to put the issue on the ballot, GQP state lawmakers immediately sued in court to keep the issue off the ballot where ALL Florida's voters could determine the matter for themselves. So much for the GQP claim that states should decide the abortion issue.
Ugh, the ED commercials make me mad. They tout how “discreet” the service is, so men aren’t humiliated. Women are humiliated by so much all the time. Pumps, I’m with you, let’s go after men’s body parts. Let’s pass laws where all males’ DNA is entered in a national database, so they can’t escape responsibility if they impregnate a person. If the red states with abortion bans won’t take care of the mother and the baby after birth, then we need to go after the male’s resources.
Oh the christians (with a small C). My mom mentioned to one of her friends that my husband is dying (totally okay. She will miss him too). Her friend's reply was 'Is he saved?' I was raised going to church. Today's christianity is not how it's supposed to be. My uncle is still a pastor at 80, and he's still a freaking hippy, card carrying 'dem' who is basically a social worker. I think he doesn't retire because he is needed by people who fall through the safety net in Indiana. I no longer follow pastors, but instead try to be kind. I love listening to you! I hope the comment section isn't too gross.
The U.S. Supreme Court reentered the abortion debate Wednesday, agreeing to review a lower court decision that would make mifepristone, the commonly used abortion pill, less accessible. We knew they would keep coming for us. All women should be voting blue this time or at the rate they’re going, they’ll take away more freedoms and our right to vote. I won’t live in the Handmaidens Tale.
I’ve always thought that anyone who can remember new episodes of The Brady Bunch on television shouldn’t make laws for younger generations. The oldies have a skewed perception of what they believe “America” is, and forget that “America” is the whole goddamn Western Hemisphere and not just one country.
Oh my gosh…. Your podcast has so clearly illustrated my feelings about this whole topic. I believe their actions are solely driven by their quest for power. They represent the opposite of what I believe Jesus demonstrated in his life. There were women at the table of the last supper. Until women are at the table, I would never think about joining any of their cults.
A super interesting explanation (well, I found it interesting) of the whole far right capture of the government was presented by Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse. It's turned into a long and convoluted tracking of the Heritage Foundation, SCOTUS and "Dark Money" groups. But the clips are called "The Scheme" and Sen. Whitehouse takes names and brings receipts in the first few episodes about the fifties/sixties
SC rulings like Roe, Obergefeld, and Loving are the federal government and highest court establishing a precedent that citizens can make private decisions about matters that don't affect the broader society. They are social topics, yes, but ultimately lend to the subject of privacy. The defense of those rulings is that... -women should not be denied abortion care, because it may be vital to their health or necessary to preserve their stability, ultimately the reason is irrelevant. - queer persons and couples of mixed race should not be denied the right to marry as laws preventing access to a privilege that the majority of society have would be discriminatory and unconstitutional. The radial conservative approach to these topics ignores the privacy argument because they either don't care about individual rights all that much or recognize that all the people they want to have freedoms already do. The issue is having precedent in the first place for the supreme court or federal government to deny states the authority to control their populations at will. Republicans have already fukked most statehouses across the nation, that's easy for them, but keeping control of the US congress and West Wing has been a battle for the last 80 years. They even say, we don't "need" rulings like Obergefeld and Virginia, "which were wrongfully decided" (in what way? Never a fukking answer), because "no one's really trying to make gay marriage illegal". Just like they say, "we don't need an Equal Rights Act, everyone **already has** equal rights". Except, no they don't! And, yes, people very much are still trying to make gay marriage illegal. We have remain above their bullshifting. When they say, "It's not necessary", call them a fucking liar and list out your state's (trust me, it's all 50) trigger laws, rejected bills/bill amendments, and local theocratic SuperPACs. (They being the candidates/electees/and political activits/pundits, probably don't try to be the liberal prick to all your MAGA neighbors).
I've always felt if we took a vote and everyone who votes no on abortion needs to be put there information down and pay an extra 3 to 6 thousand dollars a year in taxes to pay for these children and every one under the age of 50 needs to be put on the list to adopt the children born with major health problems.
I've always felt if we took a vote and everyone who votes no on maintaining slavery needs to be put there information down and pay an extra 3 to 6 thousand dollars a year in taxes to pay for these black people and every one needs to be put on a list to have black people live in their homes if they cannot afford housing.
Twenty years ago a coworker lied to me that they had come out with a male birth control pill just to see how I’d react. I got very excited and I’m still salty about the whole thing.
I'm back ladies. I love your presentation on this. I tend to go another Direction on this subject. I always like to ask men these questions. Will you ever have a tubal pregnancy. Will you ever have a period every month. I hate to even to mention it but will you have a miscarriage. Will you ever have to make the decision if your baby will be born still or the choice of it you may never get pregnant again that you need to terminate this pregnancy. These are all thoughts and things that happen to women. Why would any woman ever let a man who will never experience any of these things have any kind of decision on what is going to happen with her reproductive Health Care. Not to mention that women should be furious for men trying to tell them how to take care of their bodies. Thanks for your time today ladies you do a great job.
An estimated 64,565 rape-caused pregnancies have occurred in states with abortion bans. I read an article about one of these cases, a thirteen year old girl was raped and had no access to abortion. She’s now a mother at fourteen, navigating that along with eighth grade in an under serviced community. Everyone should have access to abortion, but to even deny it to a raped child is mind-numbingly abhorrent. And of course, once the baby is born the “Pro-Life” community gives zero shits about its wellbeing, not caring if the child must live in poverty, watch their parents overdose, or be shuffled through an abusive foster system. They so adamantly defend life that doesn’t exist (it’s a fucking fetus), but then abandon the living when it means that THEY would actually have to do something. Their hateful ideals suddenly vanish when the price comes out of their pockets or peace of mind
Conservative politics has become so cruel. People aren't voting for them because they think it's in their best interests, they're voting conservative specifically because, even if they aren't better off, someone else will be worse off.
Not the most popular of opinions but Ruth Bader Ginsburg should have stepped down towards the end of her life, while Obama was still in power Then Obama could have decided on someone with similar values and Kavanagh would not be on the SC now… Of course no Democrat thought that Trump would actually get to be president so they didn’t think that far ahead Great episode as always ladies x

They represent the opposite of what I believe Jesus demonstrated in his life. There were women at the table of the last supper. Until women are at the table, I would never think about joining any of their cults.
I’ve been saying that for years . Start making the men gust as responsible watch the tide turn
A super interesting explanation (well, I found it interesting) of the whole far right capture of the government was presented by Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse. It's turned into a long and convoluted tracking of the Heritage Foundation, SCOTUS and "Dark Money" groups. But the clips are called "The Scheme" and Sen. Whitehouse takes names and brings receipts in the first few episodes about the fifties/sixties
I’ve had it!
Cannot understand why anyone think they can decide about any others body.
This should be compulsive viewing for everyone who wants to talk about abortion from either side. Excellent!
💯 agree..Thank you for this important discussion.
👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 I’m with you ladies
Thanks!
Pro-life, but pro- death penalty - my head explodes from the cognitive dissonance 😡
But but but that one guys is a vet, so he definitely knows how human women work 🙄
That furry wall is absolutely GORGEOUS!!!
🤔 I always thought it was slate
New favourite channel!

Thank you , ladies !!!
I've always & always AGREE with everything political & and social, you 2 wonderful smart honest women say!
Cannot wait for an episode with your thoughts on the war in Ukraine. Love you girls! ♥♥
Well said....well done. Thank you!
SC rulings like Roe, Obergefeld, and Loving are the federal government and highest court establishing a precedent that citizens can make private decisions about matters that don't affect the broader society. They are social topics, yes, but ultimately lend to the subject of privacy.
The defense of those rulings is that...
-women should not be denied abortion care, because it may be vital to their health or necessary to preserve their stability, ultimately the reason is irrelevant.
- queer persons and couples of mixed race should not be denied the right to marry as laws preventing access to a privilege that the majority of society have would be discriminatory and unconstitutional.
The radial conservative approach to these topics ignores the privacy argument because they either don't care about individual rights all that much or recognize that all the people they want to have freedoms already do. The issue is having precedent in the first place for the supreme court or federal government to deny states the authority to control their populations at will. Republicans have already fukked most statehouses across the nation, that's easy for them, but keeping control of the US congress and West Wing has been a battle for the last 80 years.
They even say, we don't "need" rulings like Obergefeld and Virginia, "which were wrongfully decided" (in what way? Never a fukking answer), because "no one's really trying to make gay marriage illegal". Just like they say, "we don't need an Equal Rights Act, everyone **already has** equal rights". Except, no they don't! And, yes, people very much are still trying to make gay marriage illegal.
We have remain above their bullshifting. When they say, "It's not necessary", call them a fucking liar and list out your state's (trust me, it's all 50) trigger laws, rejected bills/bill amendments, and local theocratic SuperPACs.
(They being the candidates/electees/and political activits/pundits, probably don't try to be the liberal prick to all your MAGA neighbors).
100000000 percent true could not agree more
I've always felt if we took a vote and everyone who votes no on abortion needs to be put there information down and pay an extra 3 to 6 thousand dollars a year in taxes to pay for these children and every one under the age of 50 needs to be put on the list to adopt the children born with major health problems.
I've always felt if we took a vote and everyone who votes no on maintaining slavery needs to be put there information down and pay an extra 3 to 6 thousand dollars a year in taxes to pay for these black people and every one needs to be put on a list to have black people live in their homes if they cannot afford housing.
My Queens. ❤ Keep fighting the good fight

Twenty years ago a coworker lied to me that they had come out with a male birth control pill just to see how I’d react. I got very excited and I’m still salty about the whole thing.
I'm back ladies. I love your presentation on this. I tend to go another Direction on this subject. I always like to ask men these questions. Will you ever have a tubal pregnancy. Will you ever have a period every month. I hate to even to mention it but will you have a miscarriage. Will you ever have to make the decision if your baby will be born still or the choice of it you may never get pregnant again that you need to terminate this pregnancy. These are all thoughts and things that happen to women. Why would any woman ever let a man who will never experience any of these things have any kind of decision on what is going to happen with her reproductive Health Care. Not to mention that women should be furious for men trying to tell them how to take care of their bodies. Thanks for your time today ladies you do a great job.
8:03 automatic paternal payments to mothers is amazing ! Jennifer and pumps do it again
Love you two ❤❤ - thank you for every word 👏👏👏
An estimated 64,565 rape-caused pregnancies have occurred in states with abortion bans. I read an article about one of these cases, a thirteen year old girl was raped and had no access to abortion. She’s now a mother at fourteen, navigating that along with eighth grade in an under serviced community. Everyone should have access to abortion, but to even deny it to a raped child is mind-numbingly abhorrent. And of course, once the baby is born the “Pro-Life” community gives zero shits about its wellbeing, not caring if the child must live in poverty, watch their parents overdose, or be shuffled through an abusive foster system. They so adamantly defend life that doesn’t exist (it’s a fucking fetus), but then abandon the living when it means that THEY would actually have to do something. Their hateful ideals suddenly vanish when the price comes out of their pockets or peace of mind
If I were a devout Catholic to whom divorce was unavailable and I was married to Ginny I'd look for a constitutional remedy!
Conservative politics has become so cruel. People aren't voting for them because they think it's in their best interests, they're voting conservative specifically because, even if they aren't better off, someone else will be worse off.
No, conservatives simply dont want you to be able to children regardless of whether those children are born or unborn.
Periodddd👏👏👏👏 I love yall🙌🙌🙌🙌
Not the most popular of opinions but Ruth Bader Ginsburg should have stepped down towards the end of her life, while Obama was still in power
Then Obama could have decided on someone with similar values and Kavanagh would not be on the SC now…
Of course no Democrat thought that Trump would actually get to be president so they didn’t think that far ahead
Great episode as always ladies x
I loved Ginsburg but you are absolutely right..a real blind spot on her record
Good one Ladies. I agree with Everything you said. I've had it too!
I'm in a neighboring state, but Oklahoma seems like one of the scariest states in the union to me. Then Texas. Florida also scares me.
I don’t know if you have talked about it already, but please look into Project 2025
Ladies, you have my sympathies; perhaps you should move to another state or even country. Those men should be careful, i read that overuse of viagra can lead to blindness as it forces the blood to the nether regions😅and deprives the brain and eyes of oxygen. No idea how true that is.Men may be becoming less fertile due to hormone additives to the food chain. Hi from Switzerland.
Every single word of this is mana from heaven… to borrow a phrase from the good book. 😂
Love the faithful, hate the faith.
Christian ethic , Love thy neighbors/ do unto others as you would have them do unto you. Other parts are charity, compassion and empathy?
My partner and i will not have kids in the state of Texas because of the way the laws are here. I was born and raised here and i feel wronged that I cant count on my state to protect me when im trying to bring the very thing into this world that they swear theyre trying to protect.
Go off ladies!!! 💓
Right on pumps😂
I want to tell you guys the story of Ohio’s ban last year
this news make me say
“girl please”
I’ve had it with the “context” section put on posts that do not say anything objectionable!
i love y’all
Freedom for your money. Control over your mind and body

Preach Queens! VOTE BLUE OVER Q!
We got here because people failed to take the threat the religious right poses seriously.
It must be horrible to live in a red state or conservative area.
I hope for them. … that a female in their family never has to carry a dead fetus can’t find a Doctor to help
