Crisis pregnancy centers can provide misinformation about healthcare and perform medical procedures without requiring a licensed doctor. Yes, all of that is legal, thanks to the Supreme Court.

The sort of default rehabilitation of GW’s reputation as president really sucks because he was terrible but it all seems so quaint now after almost a decade of trump.

Conservative Christians are actively driving us towards what appears to be the actual biblical Armageddon while acting like they're the only ones who've ever been trod under the wheel of oppression and it honestly makes me yearn for a nuclear holocaust. I'll buy a Huawei phone with all the "CPC" apps if president Xi promises a pinpoint strike on my location.

Loving that the McCutcheon v. FEC bit started as a joke but now we just have to keep hoping and believing we’ll hear it one day 🤞🏼

Yeah. All Trump's talk about overriding the sovereignty of other countries is really making me start to wonder if our country is an existential threat to the rest of the world 😵‍💫

How can abortion be safe when you are killing an innocent baby?!?!?! Checkmate libs .../s

Alphones Armorman, suitperson

not sure what is wrong, but the episode showed up in my rss feed podcast addict, but there is no audio attached, only the text.

Ano Ano

The episode hasn't shown up on my podcast feed yet. Is there some issue, or is it on my end?

We've been violating sovereignity for decades, if not our entire existence. It was previously couched in pleasant language: battling communism, spreading democracy, etc. Trump and this whole administration is nothing new, they're just no longer mincing words and are now threatening everyone's ability to quietly ignore the reality of a collapsing empire, striking out to maintain its hegemony.

Zack

I saw a tweet at some point (not sure whose) along the lines of "Life under Trump is worse than life under Bush, but Bush did more to get us here." (Of course, that was in reference to Trump's first term, so it might be less true today.)

Same issue as everybody else. RSS feed doesn't have the audio

McKutcheon v. FEC is to 5-4 as Matt Damon is to Jimmy Kimmel Live.

Candice Evers

Really appreciate Peter soft launching my new network of Crisis Orthopedic Centers (COCs). Coming to a strip mall near you.

Sarah

McKutcheon v. FEC is the new Peter's Shelves.

So if the states can’t force CPCs to say “this is a scam, I am lying to you”, can they put up a big sign outside CPCs on public property to that effect?

I had a miscarriage two weeks ago. Or, I found out two weeks ago that the fetus had died and had been dead for a while, but my body hadn't expelled it. So I had to have a procedure that was technically, legally, an abortion. It was one of the worst moments of my life. I live in Virginia. Logistically, the process was a trauma-free and gentle as it could have been. If I had had to look at a sonogram and read propaganda beforehand, I would have been violently furious. I would have wound up in jail.

Laura

Really thought the Elon poking holes joke was about to go in a different direction for a second there…

Emily Spotts

Came to ask the same. Rss via antenna pod doesn't see this one, but does see the public feed 🤔

Bryn Bratton Wall

I think you gotta bring back the "I had an abortion and it was fucking awesome" shirt.

James Talley

When they drop McCutcheon, everyone don't listen for like, a week. In protest to the end of the bit.

Jonny

The same thing happened to me, on Pocket Casts. I had to re-add the feed and then it showed up. The new feed looks a little different, like the cover art is the same as for the free version. But I still have all the subscriber-only episodes.

Daniel Ress

So, on the controversial issue of abortion, states cannot compel speech about whether or not medical service providers are licensed because that is discrimination against anti-abortion activists, but states can compel speech defining fetuses as separate humans, which surely would be discriminatory against many or most abortion providers. Both instances constitute compelled speech on the same controversial issue, but one viewpoint cannot be infringed and the other can be. The court itself is engaged in viewpoint discrimination, which is unconstitutional. The difference is that the court holds its own leash. Another instance of any accusation by the Right actually being an admission.

if anyone’s looking for coalitions/orgs to support, the Yellowhammer fund in AL is doing great boots on the ground work for reproductive healthcare access and education

Arrow

This is unrelated to this episode, but I wanted you guys to know I was assigned a Jay Willis article to read for one of my university classes! And I’m not like a poli sci major so I was excited to see it in the class and I thought of the pod💙

Julia Sikora

Shit's so bad we have to pre-celebrate Anthony Kennedy's death for the sake of morale 😂
