Normally on F*ck, Marry, Kill, we talk about how everything is Reproductive Justice. But this week, we're doing things a little differently and talking about something that is absolutely NOT Reproductive Justice: the Anti-Abortion Movement. Simran is joined by Negar Esfandiari, a researcher from Reproaction whose focus is on digging into the rhetoric and tactics that the far-right anti-abortion activists are using to bring people in, and how that rhetoric has its roots in white supremacist ideology.
This just in: Sex and the City OUT, BDSM IN! Killing Sex and the City is suchhhhh a Miranda move. New episodes of F*ck, Marry, Kill are dropping in just a couple of weeks. Keep an eye out for our next full episode on the connection between the Anti-Abortion Movement and White Supremacy. This is your friendly reminder that abortion bans are RACIST!
Does abs(tin)ence really make the heart grow fonder? Find out in this episode featuring sex educator, professor, and overall badass, Dr. Tanya Bass.

We are halfway through our very first season of F*ck, Marry, Kill! On this episode, Simran is joined by Malia Becker from the Center for Biological Diversity to talk about all things Environmental Justice and how environmental racism is impacting our communities and families. Did y'all know that the idea of a carbon footprint was created by the fossil fuel industry so they could avoid being blamed for murdering the Earth?? Well, Simran sure didn't, and now she can't stop telling people about it and it's made her a real drag at parties.
Whether it was Halle Berry's Catwoman, the blue lady from Avatar, or Santana from Glee who made you gay, we all ended up in the same place.
