This is an engaging and enlightening conversation between myself and one of the most successful pro-choice activists in the country. We discuss more than just abortion, including the green party, the catholic church, and the philosophy of politics.

Shownotes by Matt Blender.

Terry gives Madge his best. And a poundcake.

Terryruns the largest political action committee for women’s right to choose.

Anti-choicers tell women horrible and/or untrue propaganda about abortion. Examples include the myth that abortion causes breast cancer and post-traumatic abortion syndrome.

Bogus post-traumatic abortion syndrome claims and C. Everett Koop.

There are states that are processing bills that could allow pharmacists to refuse giving out day-after pills on moral grounds called the “conscience clause.”

Anti-contraception convention in Chicago.

Many people will say they’re anti-abortion but they really don’t want anyone having sex, period.

It amazes Terry that no one thinks about what society would have to do with all the babies that would come out of abortion bans.

Falun gong organ stealing.

Women working outside the home is a threat to conservatives.

Neoconservatism disdains human life.

Denying access to family planning, sex education, and abortion results in the highest unsafe abortion rates and teenage pregnancies.

The US’s global standing in teen pregnancies rates.

Terry’s course-of-action recommendation.

Cynicism is no excuse for not taking action.

How Terry became an activist.

How gay rights and women’s rights factor into activisim on the whole.

How to reconcile your own beliefs with your voting practice: vote strategic.

Judy Baar Topinka.

Rick Santorum.

Cindy Sheehan doesn’t support Nancy Pelosi because Pelosi said impeachment is off the table.

Discussing Nancy Pelosi with Terry.

Hindering the conservative agenda vs. making changes.

McDonald’s and obesity.

Maybe corporate America needs a church.

Terry’s relationship with the Catholic church.

Earthlink ad.

(I’ll be there recording it Thursday night 10.26 if anyone wants to meet up)

Caged Dames Has a LOCK on Camp!

“Dames” has inspired moments of ridiculousness!

David Cerda — the reigning king of Chicago camp.

…as clever and melodic as anything in Urinetown

…offers plenty of spirited yuks for Cerda’s fans —

…Chris Jones, The Chicago Tribune

#1 DON’T MISS Show

With his raunchy, John Waters–inspired camp, Cerda obviously adores delightfully crappy women-in-prison movies; his women are just as much in drag as his men.

sharply witty new musical, every character is vividly drawn and just as vividly performed,

when it’s good, it’s very good; when it’s bad, it’s better.—

…Novid Parsi, TimeOut Chicago
