The Abortionfluencer Podcast

Why feminism keeps getting sidelined — even by our male allies on the Left.

In this episode of "The Abortionfluencer Podcast," host Colleen Luckett explores a frustrating truth many feminists know deep in their bones: Even well-meaning, left-leaning men often diminish feminist analysis — especially when it comes to reproductive justice, bodily autonomy rights, and power.

When the Boulder Abortion Clinic suddenly closed earlier this year, its staff faced the deepest heartbreak (and let's face it: the rest of us were right there with them!).

But within a mere 5 1/2 months, they built something new from the ashes: RISE Collective, a patient-centered abortion clinic carrying forward Dr. Warren Hern’s legacy of compassionate abortion care later in pregnancy in Colorado.

In this episode, Carlos and...

Sophia Kilmer — civil rights lawyer, founder of Defend Trans Rights, and host of her own podcast, Sophie Talks — and I decided to collaborate on the intersection between trans rights and abortion rights for this episode! She’s actually the one who had the great idea to blend our platforms, because as we both know, the right-wing uses the same tired playbook to attack both trans and reproductive rights — cont...

If you haven’t listened to Part 1 yet, go back and start there! In the first half of my conversation with longtime abortion rights activist and former nurse Joanie (@joaniephotos42 on Instagram), we talked about the devastating personal experience that ignited her love of Planned Parenthood and abortion rights activism, her early days doing clinic defense, and how the reproductive rights movement has evolved over the decades.

We talk about her early experience with Planned Parenthood, her work as a clinic escort in the '90s, her career as an RN, and how the same forces she resisted decades ago — misogyny, disinformation, and Christian nationalism — are fueling today’s attacks on bodily autonomy. ...

Trump wants to make Canada our 51st state. But when you hear about Canada's overwhelmingly strong support for reproductive rights, you may wish it were the other way around. (I sure do!)

In this episode, Sabrina Baldini, founder, After Sex Ed, joins me to unpack what’s happening on both sides of the border: from sneaky anti-choice “private member bills” creeping through Canadian Parliament, to the U.S. exporting C...

In Part 2 of this powerful conversation, abortion justice activists Amber Smith-Stewart and Annarella “Rivers” Rivera share what it was like serving time in federal prison after they were targeted by Biden's DOJ for spray-painting slogans on fake pregnancy clinics during the Summer of Rage after the fall of Roe v. Wade.

They talk about who they were locked up with (you won’t believe it!), how they got through it, ...

The Summer of Rage. Two abortion justice activists. A system determined to silence dissent.

In my debut episode, Amber Smith-Stewart and Annarella “Rivers” Rivera share their story, from protesting Christian fake pregnancy clinics to facing federal charges under the FACE Act — bipartisan legislation from 1994 that was meant to dissuade anti-abortion violence. 

In Part 1 of a two-part interview, we talk graffi...
