What's Left of the South pod Ep: 107 “The Satanic Temple is NOT your friend” w/ Queer Satanic

Our friends at What's Left of the South pod had us back on to talk about how The Satanic Temple is not actually able to help people get around state laws in red states like the South to access abortions, and why TST's owners are garbage.

Moreover, we’re no longer being sued by The Satanic Temple in federal court. But the state course case looks like it's proceeding. So we also talked a lil’ about that.

We'll have to see if, like our last appearance on the pod back in 2022, the Temple has one of their paid contractors listen to the show, partially transcribe it, and submit it to the court record with nonspecific claims of defamation.

Anyway, check out our interview.

Daniel Villarreal at LGBTQ Nation:

Kamala Harris describes her “fury” when the Supreme Court revoked abortion rights in powerful convo on hit podcast Call Me Daddy. To commemorate the 50th anniversary of the recently overturned Roe v. Wade Supreme Court decision that established abortion rights nationwide, Democratic presidential nominee Vice President Kamala Harris spoke this weekend on the women’s empowerment podcast Call Her Daddy with host Alex Cooper. Cooper is the highest-paid female podcaster on the Spotify streaming platform, and her show has an estimated 5 million weekly listeners. “This is a moment for all of us to understand our power as an extension of our rights, and to join together in sisterhood and fellowship among all people, regardless of gender, to speak up,” Harris said after Cooper’s introduction.

Harris then said that when the Republican-led Supreme Court overruled Roe v. Wade in June 2022, she was traveling to meet Rep. Lauren Underwood (D-IL) to work on the issue of “women unnecessarily dying in connection with childbirth,” an issue that disproportionately kills rural, Black, and Native American women. “And the decision came down, and I called my husband [Second Gentleman Doug Emhoff] immediately, because he’s about the only person I could call with the furor that I had in a most unrestrained way with language that stood honor to that fury,” Harris said, “[especially about the] hypocrisy of these people who pretend and put themselves out as caring about the sanctity of life, but have been wholly absent those numbers when it comes to the fact that women are dying every day in America in connection with childbirth.” Harris said that women don’t often share their difficult stories about childbirth because there is an “associated” social judgment that “is designed to make her feel bad or embarrassed or in some way subversive or an outcast” or “as though she did something wrong, and they will therefore silently suffer.”

She then called anti-abortion laws a “violation” of women’s bodily autonomy that sometimes occurs after an initial violation of rape or incest. She noted that doctors in states with abortion bans have withheld lifesaving medical care from pregnant patients for fear of violating Trump abortion bans. “Here’s the bottom line: government should not be telling people what to do about their own bodies,” Harris said calling the issue one of self-determination, freedom and liberty. “One does not have to abandon their faith or deeply held beliefs to agree that the government should not be telling her what to do. Let her make that decision with her pastor or rabbi. Let her make that decision, if she chooses, with her loved ones.” “Individuals should have the right to make decisions about the matters of heart and home,” Harris continued. “So that’s about who you marry. It’s about what you choose to do within the privacy of your home that is not about hurting anyone else, the choices that you rightly should have… the freedom to make, and our homes are our bodies.”

On the Call Her Daddy podcast, Kamala Harris called out the GOP hypocrisy on “sanctity of life.”

Support For Abortion Rights

"Over 80% of Americans don't want any government involvement at all in pregnancy. They do not want abortion to be regulated by the law at all." This week's guest Jessica Valenti on finding hope during a time of relentless attacks on abortion rights.

The Attack on Reproductive Rights & Dangers of Forced Pregnancy

Jon Stewart is joined by NYU law professor and host of Crooked Media’s Strict Scrutiny podcast, Melissa Murray and founder of Abortion, Every Day, Jessica Valenti to discuss the onslaught of attacks on reproductive rights and pose the question: Who is responsible for the death of a person forced to carry a pregnancy to term?

Abortion: Mission Impossible

The media may have you believe that the recent Supreme Court decision on Mifepristone was a win for reproductive rights. In reality, it merely upheld the current status quo – a drastic departure from the standard once set by Roe. And an onslaught of challenges, aimed at making abortion impossible, if not illegal, are on the horizon. Joining us to explore this regression we have Melissa Murray, NYU Law Professor and Co-host of the Strict Scrutiny podcast, and Jessica Valenti, founder of http://AbortionEveryDay.com and author of the forthcoming book, Abortion: Our Bodies, Their Lies, and the Truths We Use to Win. Together, they discuss how our distorted democracy brought us to this moment, unpack the backward slide of abortion rights in America, and offer tips on what we can do to counter this trend.

Two Important Books On American Women’s Lives

Just saw that Olivia Rodrigo has partnered with the National Network of Abortion Funds to share a part of ticket proceeds from her NA tour with them. It doesn’t say how big a share, but I applaud her for doing this and for having been outspoken about abortion rights.

That's fantastic - funding travel for abortion is incredibly important.

I don't know how much I've told this story on here - but in 1977 New Zealand past what was then the most restrictive legislation in OECD, which closed all abortion clinics days before Christmas. Within a week the first organised, supported flights went to Australia - they were called SOS - Sisters Overseas Service. There was massive fundraising and support to ensure as many women as possible were able to access abortion - despite the complete and utter fuckwits in parliament and government. That work was incredibly important and it mattered so much - and I'm in absolute awe of the many different things people did in those years. I'm furious that that work needs to be done in the US now in this way.

Oliver Willis at Daily Kos:

Vice President Kamala Harris mocked Donald Trump for proclaiming himself a “protector” of women, noting that many victims of rape and incest no longer have abortion access since Roe v. Wade was overturned. At a Sept. 23 rally, Trump said that if he is elected president, women will no longer have to worry about issues like abortion and added, “You will be protected, and I will be your protector.” Harris appeared on the popular “Call Her Daddy” podcast on Sunday and was asked about Trump’s comments by host Alexandra Cooper. [Cooper: At a rally in Pennsylvania, former President Trump recently told women, “You will be protected, and I will be your protector.” What do you make of that? Harris: So he who, when he was president, hand-selected three members of the United States Supreme Court with the intention that they would undo the protections of Roe v. Wade, and they did just as he intended, and there are now 20 states with Trump abortion bans, including bans that make no exception for rape or incest, which we just discussed, which means that you're telling a survivor of a crime, of a violation to their body, they don't have a right to make a decision about what happens to their body next? Which is immoral. So, this is the same guy that is now saying that? This is the same guy, who said that women should be “punished” for having abortions? This is the same guy who uses the kind of language he does to describe women? So, yeah, there you go.]

Appearing on the Call Her Daddy podcast hosted by Alexandra Cooper that came out Sunday, Kamala Harris took a sledgehammer to the absurd claim that Donald Trump is a “protector” of women.

Mock Trial Podcast: Should SCOTUS Restrict Access To The Abortion Pill?

On May 9, 1960–64 years ago today - the FDA approved the world's first commercially produced birth-control pill. Timed to that anniversary, nonpartisan public radio show Open to Debate is releasing a mock trial on the question "Should Courts Restrict Access to the Abortion Pill?"

The Open To Debate podcast plays a critical role in our society today.The mission of Open to Debate is to restore critical thinking, facts, reason, and civility to America’s public square. Open to Debate is a platform for intellectually curious and open-minded people to engage with others holding opposing views on complex issues.

The full episode was released on May 9th (look for it here, on NPR stations, or via the Open to Debate podcast). Below are three clips on YouTube:

• Watch: Conscience vs. Complications in Medication Abortion

• Watch: Legal Remedies for Medication Abortion Policies

• Watch: Personal Perspectives on Abortion Rights

In a post-Roe v. Wade world, mifepristone, a medication that 63% of women undergoing an abortion use, is under consideration by the Supreme Court. Mifepristone was approved as a two-drug regimen for use up to seven weeks of pregnancy and initially required in-person clinical visits, but changes by the FDA were made in 2016 and 2021 to expand accessibility via telehealth and the length of its administration. FDA v. Alliance for Hippocratic Medicine seeks to address whether the FDA's approval process was thorough and whether the drug should continue to be available.

Those in favor of restrictions argue that the FDA approved mifepristone without adequate consideration of long-term health impacts, failing to adhere to stringent regulatory standards. They also consider restricting access to abortion pills a moral imperative, forcing some doctors to treat patients for a procedure against their beliefs.

Arguing in favor of restrictions is Catherine Glenn Foster, Senior Fellow in Legal Policy at the Charlotte Lozier Institute. She has worked on topics from euthanasia and assisted suicide to abortion and maternal health, health and safety regulations, conscience protections, and constitutional aspects of the right to life and has authored and testified on numerous domestic, foreign, and international legislation and initiatives, appearing on multiple occasions before the Senate, the House, and other federal and state bodies.

Those against restrictions point out the approval was based on extensive research and clinical trials, which should not be undermined without substantial scientific evidence. They also argue access to mifepristone is essential for women's health, providing a safer alternative to surgical abortion and enabling privacy and autonomy in healthcare decisions.

Arguing against restrictions is Julia Kaye, Senior Staff Attorney at the ACLU Reproductive Freedom Project. She was lead counsel in two lawsuits that led the FDA to allow patients to obtain mifepristone through telehealth and pharmacy dispensing. She has also led or co-counseled litigation in numerous states challenging abortion bans, mandatory abortion delay requirements, laws preventing qualified nurse practitioners and midwives from providing abortion or birthing care, and other political interference with patients’ health and autonomy.
