Two legs of the Feminist Sleeper Cell stool have gathered around the dumpster fire this week, to roast the ongoing bad decisions of the Republican Party. From Ted Cruz’s letter to the FDA asking them to ban the abortion pill (just WUT) to the RNC tossing a soapbox to anti-abortion profiteer and racist Abby Johnson, we are exhausted just staying informed. Moji and Marie are excited to be joined by AAF Tennessee lead volunteer Cara McClane, who’s had the dubious honor of meeting Ms. Johnson and hearing her snake-oil speeches. Make sure to check out our announcement section and reserve your spot at Do Re #MeToo!
