This week on The Feral Mamas Club Podcast, we channel righteous rage into focused fire. We start with Adriana Smith, a Black nurse and mother who was declared brain dead after being denied care for headaches, only to be kept on life support against her family’s wishes because she was nine weeks pregnant. Her case is everything that’s wrong with how we treat Black women and bodily autonomy in America.

Missouri lawmakers’ underhanded attempt to undo a pro-choice voter win, and the huge legislative sneak attack that happened while most of us were sleeping: the GOP’s Billionaire Tax Cut Bill and how it’ll impact Planned Parenthood (even though it'll cost us $300 million).

Rage isn’t the end point—it’s the beginning. Let’s use it.
