Episode 66: If a Republican Falls in the Forest and No One is There, Do They Make an Ultrasound?

Hello Sleeper Cellmates! The theme of today’s pod is, “If at first you don’t succeed at reproductive coercion, try, try again!” Marie and Lizz are steering the ship this week and will break down the week in “Can’t Stop, Won’t Stop” fucking with your rights. 

It’s a boatload of misogyny and we are about to capsize! 

GATHERED IN THE SLEEPER CELL
