Susan Demas is joined by comedian, writer, and Abortion Access Front co-creator Lizz Winstead for a powerful conversation about the escalating attacks on medication abortion, the misinformation campaign around mifepristone, and the return of the 19th-century Comstock Act as a weapon against reproductive freedom.

They also dig into the “trad wife” movement, the assault on birth control, sexism in both parties, why comedy still matters in dark political moments, and what Minneapolis is facing after ICE raids. Liz explains why personal stories are one of the strongest tools against propaganda: “Our stories are our power.”
