WTF Just Happened at the Texas Legislature?

This super-sized season premiere episode is a conversation with Erika Galindo and Mads Clendening about what happened on abortion at the Texas Legislature earlier this year. They’ll update you on the complex (and still-changing landscape) of abortion access in Texas, highlighting the challenges and legislative changes that have brought us to where we are now. We’ll also talk about the importance of reproductive justice, the role of abortion funds, and the need for community engagement and solidarity in the fight for abortion rights.

Wade.  Here is a list of resources, information, and organizations mentioned in the episode:  NeedAbortion.org [http://needabortion.org/] INeedAnA.com [http://ineedana.com/] ProPublica’s reporting on the death of Tierra Walker  [https://www.propublica.org/article/texas-abortion-ban-tierra-walker-preeclampsia] Petition: Investigate Texas’s Maternal Death Crisis Now [https://avowtexas.org/2025/11/19/stop-the-cover-up-investigate-texas-maternal-death-crisis-now/]

Yapping About Abortion on TV

Join us for an episode dedicated to yapping all about abortion on TV. Your hosts Erika and Shae welcome Blanca and Ivania from the Lilith Fund team to share the abortion on TV moments that had the biggest impact on them. We agree that self-care can sometimes look like chilling out and watching TV. But what happens when abortion pops up in the plot?  If you love TV and are also being real about abortion, this episode is for you. We’ll take a close look at the abortions on Degrassi, Sex and the City, Heartbreak High, and Grey’s Anatomy. We also hit on The Ultimatum, Love is Blind, and the film Unpregnant. We want to know about the abortion storylines that made an impact on you, too!

A talk with Amir Talai, Fund-a-Thon Rockstar

Gaslit goes to Hollywood for this very special, celebrity-packed, Fund-a-Thon bonus episode. We are talking with Amir Talai, an actor and abortion activist who also happens to be a certified Fund-a-Thon rockstar! Amir has raised literally tens of thousands of dollars for the Lilith Fund hotline with the support of his creative and funny fans. Join guest hosts Blanca and Cristina from the Lilith Fund team as they talk with Amir about his journey to abortion activism and building community online as a public figure. We’ll even get deep and talk about what redemption requires of us all. For all of the men who listen, Amir has a message about the power, privilege, and strategic importance of your voices in the fight for abortion access.  You’ll hear about  Amir’s plans for Fund-a-Thon that include thirst traps, fistfuls of cilantro, going live on Twitch, and even the promise of a sumo suit! For fans of Hazbin Hotel, where Amir plays the morally questionable Alastor, Blanca is right there with you with questions about how the characters might fit in our own little (abortion access) world. What would a demon think of JD Vance anyway? Let’s find out! There are spoilers for Hazbin Hotel and American Horror Story: Hotel ahead!
