Episode 70: Trump Holding Up Covid research because…abortion.
Hello fellow coroniacs! The social distancing continues but that does not stop us intrepid feminists from gathering in our various sleeper cells to bring you all the abobo related news from this week! And man, patriarchy does NOT care about spreading its own special plague in their little game of, “Corona, But Make it Abortion.”
It’s a special edition of The Feminist Sleeper Cell as we spend the pod doing a deep dive into how abortion access and provision is being navigated and made even more challenging during a pandemic.
Joining us is an incredible journalist, Senior Reporter at Huffpo, Melissa Jeltsen
