Smart Podcast, Trashy Books: 473. We Love Books and Convenience Store Snacks
Amanda and I are arranging marriages between books and convenience store candies (we missed this part of Ellen’s question last week!) and we talk about what romances we’d want to see adapted into limited series, who we’d cast in our dream productions, and what we’ve learned over the years of working with the website.
Feminists Without Mystique: Ep 145: Roe v. Wade overturned in Texas
We are enraged, frustrated, gutted (insert all the negative adjectives) at the new Texas law that went into effect today banning abortions after 6 weeks, WELL before most women even know they’re pregnant. This law is unconstitutional on its face, and yet SCOTUS hasn’t blocked it. We get into the other devastating, insidious aspects of this law, which allows private citizens to act as vigilantes and sue anyone “aiding and abetting” an abortion – from the front desk administartor at a women’s health clinic, to the Uber driver. It’s fucked up on every level, not how the legal system in this country is designed to work, and also just plain unconstitutional. Rage, rage, rage. Feel free to call Susan Collins’s office and ask her how “settled” she thinks Roe precedent is now.
