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.

Andrew Kaczynski and Em Steck at CNN:

Former President Donald Trump’s running mate, JD Vance, said two-and-a-half years ago he was open to a national abortion ban, a stark contrast to comments he made this week where the Ohio senator said he adhered to Trump’s view that abortion should be a state issue. Vance argued in 2022 that people seeking abortions would travel from states where abortion is banned to states with liberal abortion laws, necessitating federal action. “I certainly would like abortion to be illegal nationally,” Vance said in January 2022 on a podcast when running for Senate.

[...]

Since the Supreme Court’s 2022 Dobbs decision overturned the constitutional right to abortion, voters have consistently supported abortion rights in state measures, and the 2022 midterm elections saw numerous anti-abortion Republicans defeated.

[...]

Vance once supported a “national minimum standard” for abortion restrictions and signaled support for a 15-week federal abortion ban to CNN before determining there was no appetite for it in the current climate.

Yet in January 2022, Vance argued that while lawmakers couldn’t ban abortion in the current climate, he was sympathetic to the view that a national ban was necessary. Vance proposed a hypothetical scenario where if Roe vs. Wade was overturned and Ohio banned abortion by 2024, liberal mega donor and philanthropist George Soros — a popular bogeyman in conservative circles might then facilitate abortions for “disproportionately black women” by flying them to California. “I’m sympathetic to the view that like, okay, look here, here’s a situation — let’s say Roe vs. Wade is overruled. Ohio bans abortion, in 2022 or let’s say 2024. And then, you know, every day George Soros sends a 747 to Columbus to load up disproportionately black women to get them to go have abortions in California. And of course, the left will celebrate this as a victory for diversity — uh, that’s kind of creepy.” “And, and it’s like, if that happens, do you need some federal response to prevent it from happening?” Vance said, “I’m pretty sympathetic to that actually. So, you know, how hopefully we get to a point where Ohio bans abortion in California and the Soroses of the world respect it.”

CNN’s KFile exposes Trump VP pick and Senator J.D. Vance’s January 2022 call to ban abortion nationwide during an appearance on the Very Fine People podcast on the hypothetical basis that George Soros would fly abortion patients to California or other abortion-permissive states.

The podcast was released several months before the Dobbs decision was handed down that overturned Roe and Casey at SCOTUS.

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.

Maria Caulfield, a Tory MP who supported cutting the abortion time limit and voted against buffer zones outside clinics, has been named as minister for women, prompting criticism from charities and women’s rights groups.

Caulfield, the MP for Lewes, was previously an officer of the all-party parliamentary “pro-life” group and voted against legalising abortion in Northern Ireland.

In 2018, when Caulfield was the Tory vice-chair for women, she called for a debate on reducing the 24-week time limit for women to receive legal abortions, describing the 1967 Abortion Act as “one of the most liberal abortion laws in the world”.

She urged her colleagues in the House of Commons to be “wary of greater liberalisation of the law” surrounding abortions, and said having to receive approval from two doctors before terminating a pregnancy protected vulnerable women.
