00:00:00.339 --> 00:00:02.922
(upbeat music)

2
00:00:03.840 --> 00:00:06.100
- I'm Jezebel staff writer, Kylie Cheung.

3
00:00:06.100 --> 00:00:08.010
Welcome to "Uterus Weekly", a roundup

4
00:00:08.010 --> 00:00:10.480
of the reproductive health
news you ought to know about.

5
00:00:10.480 --> 00:00:13.160
Like the flames from a gender
reveal party gone wrong,

6
00:00:13.160 --> 00:00:16.130
the six week abortion ban
passed in Texas is spreading.

7
00:00:16.130 --> 00:00:19.450
Idaho's heartbeat bill
allows family members

8
00:00:19.450 --> 00:00:23.300
of any pre-born child to
sue an abortion provider.

9
00:00:23.300 --> 00:00:26.120
They can then be awarded up to $20,000.

10
00:00:26.120 --> 00:00:28.110
Alexis McGill Johnson, the president

11
00:00:28.110 --> 00:00:29.800
of the Planned Parenthood Action Fund

12
00:00:29.800 --> 00:00:30.787
had the following to say.

13
00:00:30.787 --> 00:00:33.220
"It is appalling that anyone
could look at the chaos

14
00:00:33.220 --> 00:00:35.550
and harm in Texas over the past six months

15
00:00:35.550 --> 00:00:38.340
and think, 'I want that
for people in my state.'"

16
00:00:38.340 --> 00:00:41.430
Meanwhile in Kentucky,
a group of sex educators

17
00:00:41.430 --> 00:00:42.960
have found themselves the target

18
00:00:42.960 --> 00:00:45.310
of a right wing harassment
campaign that has them

19
00:00:45.310 --> 00:00:48.177
fearing for their safety and
sheltering in safe houses.

20
00:00:48.177 --> 00:00:51.630
"Sexy Sex Ed" is a community-led
sex education workshop

21
00:00:51.630 --> 00:00:54.450
that focuses on consent,
anatomy and safety

22
00:00:54.450 --> 00:00:55.810
in rural Appalachia.

23
00:00:55.810 --> 00:00:58.250
Their upcoming all ages Sexy Summer Camp

24
00:00:58.250 --> 00:01:01.200
plans to have sessions
like gender exploration,

25
00:01:01.200 --> 00:01:03.490
self pleasure, pelvic floor health

26
00:01:03.490 --> 00:01:05.400
and self-managed abortions.

27
00:01:05.400 --> 00:01:07.909
But then Christopher
Rufo entered the chat.

28
00:01:07.909 --> 00:01:09.690
(horn blowing)

29
00:01:09.690 --> 00:01:12.300
Rufo, credited as the pioneer behind all

30
00:01:12.300 --> 00:01:14.290
the anti critical race theory bullshit

31
00:01:14.290 --> 00:01:16.260
started tweeting about Sexy Summer Camp

32
00:01:16.260 --> 00:01:18.260
to his legion of conservative followers,

33
00:01:18.260 --> 00:01:21.360
who in turn started sending
death threats to the educators.

34
00:01:21.360 --> 00:01:23.670
Unfortunately, this sort
of coordinated attack

35
00:01:23.670 --> 00:01:26.100
against competent sex education isn't new.

36
00:01:26.100 --> 00:01:27.860
As long as there's someone teaching people

37
00:01:27.860 --> 00:01:30.530
where the clitoris is,
there will always be a man

38
00:01:30.530 --> 00:01:32.510
with a bad haircut upset about it.

39
00:01:32.510 --> 00:01:35.340
And finally, ending on some good news.

40
00:01:35.340 --> 00:01:38.110
- So I stand firmly with my constituents,

41
00:01:38.110 --> 00:01:42.440
men, women, people, gender non-binary,

42
00:01:42.440 --> 00:01:45.370
who stand up and say
that we want health care

43
00:01:45.370 --> 00:01:47.770
to include reproductive freedoms.

44
00:01:47.770 --> 00:01:49.830
- A bill protecting the
absolute right to abortion

45
00:01:49.830 --> 00:01:53.590
at any point in pregnancy
has passed in Colorado.

46
00:01:53.590 --> 00:01:56.070
Colorado, come for the cannabis

47
00:01:56.070 --> 00:01:59.779
and stay for the legal
recognition of bodily autonomy.

48
00:01:59.779 --> 00:02:02.696
(percussive music)
