Episode 122: Florida Man Has Got Your Pills
August 06, 2021 16:00 - 45 minutes - 42.1 MBLizz is out for the best reason: celebrating the day Minnesota was first blessed with her radiance and joy. Moji and Marie meanwhile have assembled a critical docket of abortion news, starting with a SCOTUS update. In our now-weekly segment addressing “sanctuary cities for the unborn” we are soliciting jingle entries from our listeners. And we have gotta say, the state that had to run a “don’t rape your daughter” billboard campaign doesn’t scream ABORTION HAVEN, but compared to it’s nearest n...
Episode 121: The Debit Card Virginity Test
July 23, 2021 17:20 - 54 minutes - 50.1 MBYour Sleeper Cellmates Lizz, Marie and Moji, have assembled the weeks HOTTEST OF TAKES!! It took a damned documentary to shine the light on eugenics survivors from the California carceral system, Texas abortion patriots in the Rio Grande Valley stood up and shut down shut-down some ‘sanctuary city’ of Edinburg. And a federal judge JUST OWNED the misogynist and transphobic ARKANSAS lawmakers by rulling GTFOH on laws banning abortion and gender-affirming care. WE ARE HERE TO DUNK TO AK GOV A...
Episode 120: Abortion Access Preppers
July 09, 2021 16:00 - 45 minutes - 41.2 MBAs we sweat our way through July, Sleeper cellmates Moji and Marie are calling out some despicable trends. Attorneys General are circle-jerking anything-that-sticks-to-the-abortion-ban as they try to litigate around Roe; clinic attacks are accelerating in violence and frequency and OSA got called out publically for their hatred. But the real (soy) meat and potatoes of this episode is to let you know about the undying dedication of the feminist underground to abortion care for all!! #ABORTIONI...
Episode 119: Furries Are Not A Gender
July 02, 2021 16:00 - 1 hour - 56.2 MBWe really need to start waking up to better news this summer. This last week saw a cop go unpunished for protesting at an abortion clinic, while Ohio’s newly signed budget throttles providers and gives a cool six MILLION to fake clinics!!! Wake us from this nightmare. PLUS we have the amazing Ohio clinic escort Kristin Hady, who joined Lizz and co last week in Phoenix to engage with anti-abortion terrorizors from Operation Save America. She and Lizz give you a play by play of their week deal...
Episode 118: Fetuses Don’t Need Tax Breaks
June 25, 2021 16:00 - 39 minutes - 35.7 MBYou get Moji and Marie again this week!!! Lizz&Co are out exposing the toxic Evangelical masculinity of Operation Save America, which has descended on Arizona this week to preach their misogynistic hate. Our bright spots are the incredible Black folks running for office all over the US to try and enact REAL change (such as teaching Critical Race Theory in the classroom). We are on team #FreeBritney and demand that she be allowed the freedom to make her own reproductive choices and remind our ...
Episode 117: Marie’s definitely coming to the cookout this juneteenth!
June 18, 2021 16:16 - 41 minutes - 37.7 MBDescription: We hope you are ready to enjoy a relaxing Juneteenth weekend while Moji and Marie DROP SOME KNOWLEDGE. North Carolina’s unconstitutional ban was stopped, but we are still nervous (and enraged) about anti abortion measures in Arkansas and Louisiana. We also watched On The Divide, a documentary that captures a snapshot of the lives of a clinic security guard, a clinic escort, and a fake clinic volunteer around a single clinic in Texas. It touched on a host of intense subjects, rang...
Episode 116: The Men’s Warehouse March
June 11, 2021 16:00 - 37 minutes - 51.6 MBWe were hoping this summer heat would force the misogynists indoors- instead Red Rose attackers have been busy terrorizing Ohio clinics, and there’s a march planned by a bunch of lonely incels in suits TO PROTEST A HOSPITAL. And we return yet again to Texas, with a blatantly unconstitutional “sanctuary city” depriving residents of abortion access!!! How many times can we say this- keep your rosaries/homeschools/gun arsenals/forced-birth fingers away from our uteruses. Gathered in the Sleepe...
Episode 115: Mess-issippi
May 21, 2021 16:00 - 40 minutes - 54.9 MBThe Cellmates wanted to rant and rant and rant about Texas’s new bullshit law that lets anyone with half a brain and an axe to grind to sue your uterus. But then the Supreme Court decided to take their super-conservative supermajority and weigh in on an unconstitutional 15-week ban, so this hydra had to switch gears. Luckily we have the litigation director for the Center For Reproductive Rights Julie Rikelman to bring her vast Mississippi lawyer-ly genius and explains why we’re not wrong to ...
Best of the Feminist Sleeper Cell: Did You Get Your Lawyers at Walmart? Original Air Date: March 26, 2021, Episode 109
May 14, 2021 16:00 - 1 hour - 105 MBWe are busy this week and so it’s another “Best of” but we promise next week a piping, hot, fresh pod right out of the oven. Mmmm so delish. The cellmates decided this episode from March was a good ‘en because we had our fingers on the pulse on some of the most fucked up abortion bans from March of this year. You really can’t be reminded enough that Republicans are PROUD of wasting taxpayer money passing laws directly contrary to the constitution, especially now that we have a SCOTUS that ...
Best of the Feminist Sleeper Cell: Conscious UnCop-ling Original Air Date: March 12, 2021, Episode 107
May 07, 2021 16:00 - 1 hour - 86.7 MBYour Cellmates are off this week so it’s “Best of” time. We are reposting Our episode from last March to remind folks of the record of violence and harassment clinics have faced this spring on an ongoing basis. While we can thank the reproductive affirming decision in NYC to protect clinic access, North Carolina and Kentucky providers faced violent threats by anti-abortion terrorizers. We are joined by special guest Melissa Grant, CEO of carfem, who’s Nashville clinic Melissa Grant, CEO of ca...
Episode 114: Props to the Air Police
April 30, 2021 16:00 - 1 hour - 94.1 MBEven though the Feminist Sleeper Cell is operating at two-thirds strength this week, Moji and Marie deliver 1000 percent fury. Apparently, without the Federal Aviation Administration, stalking an abortion provider with a drone would have continued unchecked (land police, again, fuck you). Waiting periods are still en vogue, because why on earth should you be able to get safe and legal medical care on your timeline? And Oklahoma and Idaho are taking turns at cynical so-called heartbeat bans. O...
Episode 113: Mississippi, I do not think “Dignity” means what you think it means
April 29, 2021 22:43 - 55 minutes - 75.6 MBOnce again, we are reminded of conservatives myopic fascination with fetuses, as Xavier Becerra’s HHS finally rolls back restrictions on using fetal tissue in research that the Trump administration stopped. Call us when people actually care about the medical experimentation on Black and brown bodies. Then the cellmates lighten the mood as we unpack the total LACK of dignity in Tennessee’s looming law requiring fetal burial or cremation. And to ice this particular shitty pod cake, we close out...
Episode 112: USPS: Delivering Abortion Pills and Social Security Checks
April 16, 2021 15:54 - 42 minutes - 58.8 MBThis week has seen some HELPFUL news for increased abortion access, with changes in Haiwaii and movement by the FDA to reduce barriers to medication abortions. But these barriers should not exist TO BEGIN WITH, and are useless in states who go out of their way to criminalize pregnancy...like Texas. The shit their legislators are coming up with, trying to penalize ‘aiding and abetting’ abortion, while they simultaneously want a SEVEN WEEK abortion pill cutoff! We get it- you’ve got an obsessi...
Episode 111: Abortion On Demand, And Then Some
April 09, 2021 15:51 - 53 minutes - 74.1 MBThe Arkansas House and Senate hit a new low this week advancing legislation criminalizing EXISTING AND FUTURE gender-affirming healthcare for minors- making their newest abortion restriction look mild. BUT THE PIECE (OF SHITE) DE RESISTANCE is the deep dive we do into the shallow end of the talent pool and review the latest anti-abortion film, “Roe v. Wade.” AAF writer and comedian Molly Gaebe joins as we break down this hyperbolic fact-free-for-all, the brainchild of bloviating zygote fet...
Episode 110: There’s an Intoxication Loophole?!
April 01, 2021 13:36 - 1 hour - 96.2 MBIt’s April, Fools, and Lizz and Marie hold it down in the Sleeper Cell while Moji is home sleeping off her vaccine!! This week we have all the axes to grind! The first abortion case SCOTUS has agreed to take will have the 6-3 (and not in a good way) court decide if the Kentucky AG-ro can bring cases to SCOTUS that lower courts have RULED are trash. Oh the floodgates... PLUS Two southwestern states are in a battle royal for the title “Most Medically Unnecessary and Cruel Legislatures” And we...
Episode 109: Did You Get Your Lawyers at Walmart?
March 26, 2021 16:32 - 1 hour - 105 MBWE ARE BAAAAACK! We start off this episode with a passionate endorsement of *ouid*- because that’s the only way to watch the new ‘Roe’ movie starring Tomi Lahren. Multiple states are competing over who can puff puff pass the most restricting and cruel abortion ban; they range from ‘sideways’ to a ‘direct challenge’ of constitutional law...because you know what really are tax dollars?!?!? We round out this episode with a thoughtful discussion about self managed abortion, joined by Plan C’s Amy...
Episode 108: Abortion Bans Cost Bank
March 19, 2021 22:19 - 55 minutes - 76.6 MBLizz is off having an organ removed but Marie and Moji hold it down in the Sleeper Cell! This week on the pod: “Having a Bad Day” My Ass! Atlanta is yet another reminder that our country has sat idly by as racist Asian tropes have been passed off without being checked, and violence continues to escalate because of it. Spoiler Alert: Cops are just as awful to Asian Folks as Black Folks. PLUS Moji “Get off My Lawn” Alawode-El goes off on states wasting millions on abortion lawsuits while tur...
Episode 107: Conscious UnCop-ling
March 12, 2021 16:52 - 1 hour - 86.7 MBThis episode comes at the heels of Abortion Provider Appreciation Week (but they deserve love 365 days a year!!). Lizz, Marie and Moji tackle a scary week in abortion care friends, as violence at clinics is escalating. We cover a good law enforcement win in New York against harassers, but also do a deep dive into an alarming trend (and by trend we mean every day fuckery) of law enforcement cozying up to the anti abortion protesters. In just one week, there was gun violence at a North Caroli...
Operation Save Abortion: Alabama Special Edition
March 05, 2021 16:52 - 54 minutes - 74.6 MBCheck out our Very special edition of this weeks Pod. Instead of doing a proper Feminist Sleeper Cell show this week, Lizz, Moji and Marie, are bringing you the audio version of another show they do for our sibling org, Abortion Access Front. AA Front are playing around with a video comedy talk show format so we thought we’d pull the audio to give you a taste of what we got cooking so listen and enjoy!

Episode 106: The Gaslighting in Texas is Off the Grid
February 26, 2021 19:06 - 1 hour - 129 MBY’all this is a WEEK. We’ve got South Carolina trying to ban abortion before most folks know they are pregnant; HHS prospect Xavier Beccerra facing a barrage of questions about JUST abortion because THAT’S the health crisis we’re facing...SMDH AND if that isn’t bad enough one of Marie’s pet snails ate another one. PLUS- We are so PSYCHED to be joined by Maysoon Zayid, badass comedian, our favorite soap opera star AND and incredible disability rights advocate. She talks with us about the onsla...
Episode 105: #RestInPiss
February 19, 2021 17:06 - 48 minutes - 66 MBWe open with the sad news that South Carolina passed a so-called ‘heartbeat’ ban- rest assured though, Planned Parenthood and the Center for Reproductive Rights has already filed suit on this attack on abortion care. We bask in Rush Limbaugh’s passing; when you dedicate a standing segment on your radio show to celebrating the deaths of gay men from AIDs, we will toast your death. Montana has been hit with no less than SIX abortion restrictions in the works, and we are watching a Book of Revel...

First off, we forgot to say “HAPPY LUNAR NEW YEAR,” so Happy year of the Ox!!! In this ep we talk about some dope folks already bringing some serious Ox vibes. Powerhouse New York AG Letitia James who is sticking it to some violent clinic harassers, and Virginia is leading the way as the first southern state poised to have insurance coverage providing for aborti...

Episode 102: People with Restraining Orders Don’t Respect Boundaries
January 23, 2021 14:03 - 1 hour - 90.9 MBWe can breathe slightly easier knowing that our nation has a new administration- but we cannot pause in demanding that the racist and classist Hyde Amendment be overturned. And as we shake our heads at the mountains of Trump pardons (so glad that Elliott Broidy can get back to hushing up pregnancies) we are reveling in how ex-legislator Derrick Evans’ clinic harassment is being scrutinized. We are excited for Robin Marty, abobo historian, author, and activist to give us a crash course on Joe ...
Episode 101: Tiger King is Ghetto Siegfried and Roy
January 15, 2021 16:51 - 1 hour - 127 MBWeek two of 2021 has almost come to a close and my god we have aged. From SCOTUS deciding it’s safer to navigate a pandemic than getting your abortion by mail, to watching the number of antis being exposed for participating in terrorism climb faster than the National Debt clock, we are dizzy y’all. We are excited to be joined by Kellie Copeland, honcho at NARAL Prochoice OH to talk about the latest in Ohion fuckery involving burying your abortion because… wait for it… dignity, Live. Laugh....
Episode 100: It’s Like Raiiiiiin, On Your Election Day
January 08, 2021 16:58 - 54 minutes - 74.4 MBThis week is a racist kick in the teeth to start 2021. While we should be celebrating the power of the electoral process in Georgia, accomplished only by the work of Black women, we saw the US Capitol sieged by domestic terrorists. Tune-in as we name the prominent anti-abortion extremists who also showed up, and discuss the connection between antis and domestic terrorism.

December 04, 2020 23:02 - 1 hour - 97.1 MBI Don’t Want My Breast Exam at Walgreens Description: We open this episode with the elephant in the room- the fact that racism, sexism and transphobia exist in our movement and we must address it. And it wouldn’t be a proper show without trash comments about abortion coming out of the Vatican and Louisiana. Then we close out with another elephant in the room as Moji, Lizz and Marie do their white (GOP) elephant gift exchange on the pod and also offer some dope suggestions for actual gifts th...

Episode 92: Breathing Should Be A Constitutional Right
October 23, 2020 21:57 - 56 minutes - 78.1 MBThis week is never ending. On Thursday we watched as domestic terrorists blockaded an abortion facility in Washington, DC. We are finally hearing more news about 40 Days for Life hired security who pepper sprayed pro-choice supporters in California, but still no justice. And we are rolling into the weekend, (maybe watching Borat’s new flick?!), while we think about how Amy Coney Barrett’s anti-abortion vitriol is only matched by her racism.

Episode 91: That Time a Cis White Man Didn’t Center Himself
October 16, 2020 23:39 - 1 hour - 84.7 MBThis is a helluva week, folks. Tennessee was soundly rebuked for its “paternalistic” abortion waiting period by a federal judge; Texas folks can CONTINUE to get D&E procedures in their state; and abortion stories from two very different people broke this week. The big theme of the episode however is the US Supreme Court nomination process of Amy Coney Barrett this week, which we highlight in an interview with activist Kathleen Knost, who protested at the hearings this week. Gathered in the ...
Episode 90: Grab ‘Em By the Pussy and Keep On Going
October 09, 2020 21:56 - 47 minutes - 65.9 MBWe dedicate this podcast to Moji, who is enjoying a few days off. While she’s out, Lizz and Marie discuss breaking news in Michigan, the vice presidential debate (Pence… we know you’re ragingly anti-abortion, you can’t hide that boner) and Amy Coney Barrett’s public stance against abortion. Thankfully the House of Representatives passed a resolution condemning the mass sterilization of imprisoned people at ICE camps; what is despicable is that only seven Republicans took this opportunity and...
Episode 89: Is It That Hard to Condemn White Supremacy?
October 02, 2020 21:31 - 1 hour - 92.3 MBLet’s all collectively breathe deeply and donate $750 toward abortion access, after the truly terrifying display of fascism and general white man pandering on the presidential debate stage this week. Not only are we more informed on Europe’s “forest cities” (wtf?!?) but we also all saw the historic moment that a sitting US president declined to disavow white supremacy. As our guest Lara Chelian of Northland Family Planning explains, these very same domestic terrorists have shown up throughou...

In summary of today’s topics: the abortion pill is SAFE; hell yes for representational abortion story telling; and we cannot forget that COVID is harming reproductive care south of us, too.
