Feminist Sleeper Cell
Episode 114: Props to the Air Police
Even 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. Our guest and AAF fake clinic expert Anna Bean lays out how to spot fake clinics, their rampant dangerous medical lies, and the tactics they employ to confuse and shame those seeking legitimate pregnancy options.
