Sex Education Is Improving, Causing Right Wing to Panic

On this episode of Reality Cast, I discuss how sex education in some states has improved, and the right wing's response to those changes. In another segment, I chat with Stephanie Zvan, associate president of Minnesota Atheists, about the fight to end sexual harassment in the atheist/skeptic movement.

Obamacare Myths, and More Unfair Attacks on Single Mothers

On this episode of Reality Cast, Tara Culp-Ressler explains some of the myths about the Affordable Care Act and why you shouldn’t believe them. Meanwhile, Fox News is trying to argue that gender ratings in insurance are good, and conservatives are on the rampage against single mothers again.

Planned Parenthood Non-Scandal, and GOP’s Failed Fishing Expedition

On this episode of Reality Cast, Sharona Coutts explains how a fishing expedition to prove legal abortion is dangerous proved the opposite.

Fetal Pain, Obamacare, and Ohio’s Anti-Abortion Attacks

On this episode of Reality Cast, I talk to journalist Katie McDonough about why claims that fetuses feel pain don’t hold up. I also discuss how conservative attacks on health-care reform are ramping up as the exchanges are due to open soon, and Ohio is starting to shut down abortion clinics for not adhering to impossible to follow laws.

North Carolina’s Shady Anti-Choice Law, and Selective Panic Over Childfree Women

On this episode of Reality Cast, an experienced domestic violence prosecutor explains her ideas for improving the justice system. I have another segment covering how North Carolina’s governor uses shady tactics to restrict abortion access, and the discourse over who gets to be a mother—and who doesn’t—is very telling in this country.

Feminist Judges, Oral Sex Bans, and Why TRAP Laws Are Increasing in Frequency

On this episode of Reality Cast, I’ll be talking to Ian Millhiser about a potential new circuit judge and the anti-choicers trying to derail her confirmation. I have another segment covering how seriously dishonest anti-choice claims to be all about health care are, and Ken Cuccinelli really wants to ban oral sex.

New Texas Abortion Law and Fighting Rogue Doctors

On this episode of Reality Cast, I’ll be doing more coverage of, you guessed it, Texas. Also, the weird right-wing reactions are piling up. In addition, Rewire’s own Sharona Coutts will be on to talk about her investigation into a rogue doctor that legitimate doctors fruitlessly tried for years to shut down.

The Many, Many States Attacking Abortion Rights

On this episode of Reality Cast, I’ll be covering all the other states besides Texas that are dialing up the restrictions on abortion. Well, and Texas, just not as much. A policy analyst from Guttmacher will be on to help!
