I love talking about abortion on television and film and it was so fun to join Lori Adelman and Leila Darabi on Cringewatchers! Wait til you find out which TV sex scene lives rent free in my head! #Cringewatchin #KeepinItPoppin

If you can't say the word "abortion" on the show, you don't get to take a victory lap applauding your own supposed bravery. Glad Steph Herold is out here keeping us honest.

✨ New research ✨ from me, Andréa (Dre) Becker, Rosalyn Schroeder, & Gretchen Sisson: in our sample, exposure to medically accurate TV abortion plotlines was associated with increased abortion knowledge & increased willingness to support someone seeking an abortion rdcu.be/dwwXc

Leila's getting a hysterectomy. Lori's pregnant AF. To discuss motherhood/unmotherhood, we booked two brilliant guests: Dr. Jennifer Nash (@pornoscholar) & Dr. Katherine Fennelly (AKA Leila's mom). apple.co/34ta3VR #cringewatchin #keepinitpoppin

Olympic sex testing, throwing like a girl, the science of gender...we got into all of it with Dr. Anne Anne Fausto-Sterling, author of Sexing the Body, in this early release episode (because we know we all need distracting content this weekend). Enjoy! apple.co/34ta3VR
