Episode 78: You Can’t Get Pregnant from a Vibrator

This week snapped our neck a bit with good and bad news- First the bad- SCOTUS decided that the HR Department at “Oppression R Us” can cite their morality as a reason to not cover birth control in their healthcare plans. 

Chalk up one more reason why we need the ERA, stat! 

BUT, in a strange amount of GOOD NEWS, a flurry of judicial smackdowns happened in the lower courts that left anti abortion overreachers sulking back into their sewers. For now anyway. All that  plus, will Marie and Moji stump Lizz in this weeks, “Six Degrees of Abortion?” We are back, bay-beeeees!
