I'm currently on my way to a preferred women's health center

where women in Charlotte, North Carolina, get abortions. It's a Saturday, so the clinic is probably going to be pretty busy.
Saturday also is probably when a lot of protesters will be here. if there's one episode of Call Her Daddy that people should watch and listen to, it's this one.
50 years worth of women's rights in America overturned Roe's rape and ended a woman's constitutional right to an abortion. Overturning Roe puts every single one of us in danger.
Your members have done nothing wrong to deserve the sex sentence today. It deserves an end in the trash can.
Did you choose life? If you needed, did you choose life? I'm not with the Senate. There's an ultrasound down there.
Just go park there, okay? Go ahead. Go down there to the ultrasound.
Keep driving. You're good.
Keep driving. Inside that building, you are not going to find hope.
You are not going to find help. You're not going to find joy or peace or any of those things inside that building because none of those things can come from the murder of your innocent people.
You don't have to go in there today. Don't follow the path of the wicked that are driving you, that are bringing you into this building, lying to you about the humanity of your child, leading you like sheep into the...
Hi there, I'm a volunteer with the clinic. I'm walking in.
Ma'am, no matter what you're going to say, that baby's heart is beating. That baby is precious in the I'm the executive director of a Preferred Women's Health Center.
And this is my ninth year being here. So your parents started this clinic.

Yes.

In what ways has your clinic been impacted

by the overturn of Roe v. Wade?

This is easily the most desperate I've ever seen patients,

which is very frustrating.

However, like we do focus on the fact

that we are still helping patients live their best lives.

Because like as an outsider just coming in

and seeing the protesters immediately,

I'm like, holy shit, this is hell.

And this is, like, an easy day.

Once you get here and you're driving to the clinic,

you're driving past these folks who are calling themselves pregnancy counselors.

But they're not with the clinic.

And they're specifically trying to stop patients

to explain to them why they shouldn't have an abortion. And they're specifically trying to stop patients,

to explain to them why they shouldn't have an abortion or what they can do instead.

You're seeing these patients and their companions come in and you start hearing people yelling at you and being like,

you're a murderer, you're a slut, mama don't kill your baby.

They're so loud that you can hear it through the doors and through the walls. And it is traumatizing.
One of the worst and most uncomfortable feelings to have is when a patient comes in and is so distraught and so upset. And you ask them what's wrong, and they're like, am I going to die? I'm like, honey, why did you come in if you thought you were going to die? And she was like, well, I can't have this baby.
But the guy outside tells me that like people die here all the time. And I'm like, the fact that you felt like you were submitting yourself to what you thought could be certain death is just so heartbreaking.
Well, now that abortion laws can be determined by each state, conservative America is tightening its grip. So we knew that the United States Supreme Court was going to overturn Roe v.
Wade. Fuck.
And I mean this with all disrespect in my heart, you. 26 states will ban abortion.
You're talking about 36 million women of reproductive age. I'm a 15 year old girl and my rights are being threatened.
And I came here because I'm hoping to not allow these government officials who think they have control over my body to do what they're doing and take us back 50 years of fighting. The day that the ruling came down, I had to immediately call up my staff and tell them to stop seeing patients.
Because in Alabama, we had a law that said that all abortion was illegal and anyone who was involved could be put in jail. I'm Robin Marty.
I am Operations Director for West Alabama Women's Center. And until a few months ago, it provided about half of the abortions in the state of Alabama.
Now it just does reproductive health care. As we sit here today, how many states have made abortion illegal? At this point, we have 14 states where there's no longer legal abortion.
Now that Roe v. Wade has been overturned, all of the states get to decide individually whether or not there will be legal abortion, and they don't have to have it legal in their state at all.

A lot of times people think, okay,

that means I have to go to the next state over

in order to get an abortion.

Where I'm from in the south, in the Gulf Coast,

there's no legal abortion anywhere.

So is that when people are referring

to like an abortion desert?

Yeah, an abortion desert means that you have hundreds

of miles that you have to go through in order

to be able to access a legal clinic. There have been bills in a number of states to ban common forms of birth control, not abortion, birth control.
I think every woman in America needs to know this. Should women be nervous and worried that birth control and Plan B could potentially become illegal? Oh, God, yes.
I'm so terrified of it. Specifically in Alabama, we think the next legislative session that emergency contraception is going to be banned.
And we think this because right after the decision, there was a reporter who went through and asked all of the representatives whether they would consider banning emergency contraception next. And the worst part was most of them responded, I don't really know what that is.
But yeah, that sounds like a good thing to ban. I don't know how it works, but yeah, we should ban it because that's what we're at.

I don't know how it works, but yes, let's get rid of it.

Call Her Daddy is brought to you by Airbnb. Okay, so I went on a trip with all of my girlfriends to Vermont where my best friend was getting married.
And we were all going to figure out like, well, where do we want to stay? And, oh, this place is too far away. And if you stay there, I won't really get ready with you.
And then we decided on an Airbnb and it was the best decision of the weekend because we got this house. All of us stayed there.
Matt came, my friends came, my friend brought her boyfriend and we all were able to feel like we were almost back in college where we were all in one space. We all got to make our coffee together.
We got to eat breakfast together. We got to go on walks together.
We got to have late night conversations after we went to the rehearsal dinner and the weddings. And it was just the best time because I feel like if you don't stay in an Airbnb, you're not going to be as close.
You're not going to have those late night conversations. And we as girls, you know how much goes in to those late night conversations.
We also had a pool table, which was so fun. The guys ended up playing while the girls were having wine in the living room in front of the fire, just talking about all the things about life and dating and relationships.
You know, a wedding makes you emotional. I told Matt in 2025, my goal is to stay in more Airbnbs wherever we go.
If we're exploring a new city, culture, learning a new language, traveling, wherever it be, Airbnb is where it's at. So you can really be fully, fully invested in your time and experience all the things that come with that environment.
Airbnb is the best way to make your trip one to remember because you get to explore not only the new city, but a new space in the city. Staying like a local helps you feel immersed wherever you are, as opposed to feeling like a tourist.
You can grab groceries at a local market, explore the neighborhood bars and restaurants, Daddy Gang. And if you want to go somewhere, but you don't really know where, guest favorites might inspire you and may create a new tradition for you.
So Daddy Gang, as you book your 2025 travel, my number one tip is to check out Airbnb first to find the perfect place to stay because your accommodation can really make or break the trip. Whatever your travel priorities are, they can be taken care of with an Airbnb, want a big kitchen, a gym, somewhere you can bring your dog.
It's my favorite way to travel, hands down. There are so many reasons I love Airbnb.
Stay tuned to hear more about my upcoming trips this year. I am so excited for this spring.
I have a lot of travel coming up, some for vacation, some for work. And I am preparing by trying my hardest to get ahead of planning outfits, of trying to get ahead of making sure I have enough of my makeup products and all the things that I usually need.
And I'm not racing at the last minute. So Call Her Daddy is brought to you by Quince.
Vacation season is nearly upon us. This year, treat yourself to the luxe upgrades you deserve with Quince's high quality travel essentials at fair prices.
Like lightweight European linen styles from $30, washable silk tops and comfy lounge sets. Pair it with premium luggage options and stylish tote bags to carry it all.
And the best part, Daddy Gang, all Quince items are priced 50 to 80 percent less than similar brands because they partner directly with top factories, cutting out the cost of the middleman and passing the savings on to us. Here's the thing.
Everyone always is like, oh, I don't know if I want to buy a new luggage bag. Like it's expensive, but I may need it, but I'm stressed about it because if I'm going to spend money on something, I don't want it to be that.
Right. And there's all these things that these mental gymnastics you play with yourself to financially save when you are going to buy vacation items.
And guess what, daddy gang, you now don't need to worry about that. Quince has got you.
For your next trip, treat yourself to the luxe upgrades you deserve from Quince. Go to quince.com slash daddy for 365 day returns plus free shipping on your order.
That's Q-U-I-N-C-E dot com slash daddy to get free pro-forced birth. Women are not your incubators.
Your religion does not have a place in my doctor's office. Well, we offer my health care decision.
I drove up to the clinic while this protest was going on, and I was shaking. It's fucking terrifying.
There's so much shame. As I was driving, a man just started screaming, murderer, murderer, and a woman shoved her face at my car window and is like, Did you choose life?

Did you choose life? Did you choose life?

There's an ultrasound down there. Just go park there, okay?

The shame that they're trying to inflict on these women,

the confusion also of how they make you feel,

it's so overwhelming.

And I cannot even imagine waking up in the morning to get an abortion

and to have to fucking deal with this bullshit. It is, it's insane.
I am Christy Kelly. My regular job is I'm a corporate accountant.
And I have been volunteering in like some sphere of reproductive justice for off and on 20 odd years. Your job is escort and? Defender.
Okay. So can you describe what those jobs do? Sure.
So escort's job is to, you know, once the patient's in the parking lot, you get them from their vehicle into the clinic door. And the whole point is just to shield them as much as possible, you know, to maintain their privacy and dignity and to try to shield them from, you know, a lot of the rhetoric and really nasty things.
Do the protesters ever provide misinformation to the patients? A better question would be, do they ever not provide misinformation? They try to say things that are not true, like, if you go in there, you will die, an abortion is not safe. An abortion is incredibly safe.
It is safer. Have you ever had a root canal or gotten your wisdom teeth out? You were in way more danger.
It's all scare tactics. Mostly.
Yeah, and shame. Yeah, shame and fear is the easiest thing to learn about, like the anti-choice stuff and all of that.
It's not about babies. It's never, ever, ever about babies.
It's about control. We are having a conference here.
A conference? And I'm trying to enlighten these nice folks of their slavery to sin and their need to repent. Why do you think my soul is in jeopardy? Because you're supporting the murder of children.
You're in rebellion to God because children are being murdered inside of there. What if I don't believe in God? How can I be in rebellion to someone if I don't believe it? I mean, you can stand on an interstate and say, I don't believe in Mack trucks with one coming at you at 70 miles an hour.
So you are equating God with a Mack truck? And you need to bow before me when you address me. Oh, I will never bow before you.
Because I identify as royalty. I've always felt royal ever since I was born.
Well, of course you felt royal. You're a white man.
Do you believe in equality of women and men? I believe in equality of value, yes. I don't believe in equality of function.
Like literally men and women have different functions with their bodies, the way their bodies operate. What is your goal when you show up to this place? My goal is to try to persuade people not to take the innocent lives of their children

and offer them alternatives.

Do you think it's a man's issue?

I do think abortion is a man's issue, yes.

Why is that?

If men didn't take advantage of women and have sex with them outside of marriage,

then this wouldn't be a thing.

Do you think that it would be helpful if men all at a young age got vasectomies

and then when they were ready to financially be able to support a child then they get it reversed. Are you suggesting that the government institute that as a government program? At this point we're regulating the uteruses, we could also regulate the penises, right? I mean...
If we're forced to have the kids... You believe that.
I'm just asking you. do you think that would help? I don't know.
I don't think it would be helpful for society. I'm Shannon.
I am the executive director of Charlotte for Choice, which is a non-profit that helps defend and escort patients coming into the clinic. What do you make of the term pro-life? I don't use it because these folks are pro-life would be taking care of the children they're born, working with houseless population, helping others.
They don't. They also believe that you need help yourself.
We'll give you everything you need up to two years of life. That's what the antis tell the patients.
We will give you a lavish baby shower for everything you need up to two years of life. There's a little bit more involved.
So let's talk about this RV because this is crazy. This is evil and you know, you know in your heart that this is the murder of your child.
What is happening in this RV? What is the purpose of the RV? You can have a free ultrasound and see your precious baby. They allegedly have an ultrasound.
They say they have a nurse that gives you ultrasound. They try to get patients to come on the RV.
Young women, we have real help for you today. Yeah, perhaps they give ultrasounds, but while they're doing that, they're trying to convince them as to why they need to continue the pregnancy.
Please do not do this today. They also use this opportunity to hopefully get the patients to not make their appointment, miss their appointment time.
I can't actually remember a time where an ultrasound from that bus was accurate. I've had folks come in and say, well, they said they couldn't see anything, like I was too early to be seen.
Or you tell them they're too far along to be seen to begin with. Like there's real manipulation here that really works to keep a patient from getting services.
We don't take money for what we do. They don't want you to have any other choices but death, but we have many choices.
Help for housing, food, a big baby shower for your child that covers close to two years of the baby's life. If you're going to tell someone we have resources for you, be honest about what those resources are.
If you take resources from them, they make them sign this really elaborate contract. You have to give them access to going to medical appointments, to posting your image and your potentially future child's image on social media.
They get to use you as a bargaining success story. That's pretty gross.
That's really, really exploitative. And there's a huge element of white saviorism to it too that is extra gross.

It does feel very manipulative.

Right, because they're going to say,

we have resources, we can do this, this, this, this,

and this for you.

They don't.

We've looked at those pamphlets.

They're the number to the local social services.

It's how to apply for Medicaid,

how to apply for food stamps.

Now that we are officially out of winter, it is time to go out and it's time to start planning for summer. And it's time to side hustle your way into financial freedom.
Daddy gang, starting a new business can definitely be scary, but I am a huge advocate for trying out a side hustle and seeing how far it can take you. You never know what a side hustle can turn into.

products, or the next best idea, get on shopify.com slash daddy and make it happen.

That is Shopify.com slash daddy. Inside that building, you are not going to find hope.
We hear the religious right say that it's OK to do those kind of lies because it's for a good cause. It's for God.
God's word says the sixth commandment. God says thou shalt not murder.
And it just terrifies me because when you feel that every person who is for bodily autonomy is evil.

They don't believe the lies and destruction of this world, the wicked people.

Everything's justified.

They believe that they are fighting the spiritual battle and we are the devil.

I don't care how many of y'all come out here.

I don't care how many times you come out here. People are going to get abortions.
Abortion is still legal in North Carolina. We are still free.
You uphold white supremacy. You uphold the legacy of slavery.
Forced childbirth. How does religion play a part in the fight for women to have access to this type of health care? Your power now, God.
Heaven come down. Well, their religion doesn't like women.
When you look at all of the language in the decision that overturned Roe v. Wade, it's all hearkening back to the 15 and 1600s when women were possessions that were traded for cows and used to make alliances, but they weren't people.
They didn't have any control over their lives. And that's what they like.
They like the idea of women as possessions.

They like the idea of women as something that they can move around and bend around and will do whatever it is that they like. They like the idea of women as possessions.
They like the idea of women as

something that they can move around and bend around and will do whatever it is that they want. And what better way to do that than to have her exhausted and constantly pregnant? Being able to control your own body gives you independence.
And that's not something that they enjoy. That's not something they like.
And apparently it's not something that is part of their Christianity. My name is Kristen Smith.

My name is Rana.

My name is Nick.

I'm a non-binary person. My name is Jack.
My pronouns are they, them. My name is Victoria Oregel, and I had an abortion.
I had an abortion. I had an abortion when I was 20 years old.
I found out I was pregnant when I was in my early 20s. And I had an abortion in Texas in 2017.
The condom broke. I went and got a plan B.
That did not help. And when I found myself in that position, you know, the partner I had at the time, we had a really tumultuous and complicated relationship that was not healthy.
I was unemployed. I was just in a period of a lot of instability.
I was living with a bunch of roommates. It was like the worst time to find out I was pregnant.
I got pregnant just after my 40th birthday. Like many people who have abortions, I was already a mom at the time.
I have three kids, and last year in May, I found out that we were pregnant with our fourth. It was unexpected, but we quickly got excited.
We found out it was a boy and we named him Case. Everything was perfect up until my 20-week ultrasound.
I knew from the moment that I saw the positive pregnancy test that I did not want to continue the pregnancy. I felt my heart sink to like the bottom of my stomach and I remember I was just crying, crying because I was afraid.
I knew in my soul that I couldn't watch Case be born to struggle to breathe, to go through any type of pain, to just lay there and watch him die. I just I couldn't imagine it.
So I scheduled, I called the clinic in DC and I scheduled an appointment. For me, it was not a hard decision to have an abortion.
I was already struggling to balance work and being a parent. I felt like my kids deserved 100% of my attention.
I did have to face protesters on that day and it made it really hard. You know, it honestly was just really humiliating to have to listen to people scream about me and, you know, tell me I'm a bad person for making a medical decision that has nothing to do with them.
Having an abortion is probably one of the best things that's ever happened to me. Having that access is one of the best things that has ever happened to me.
It gave me freedom. It gave me a life.
I absolutely would not have been able to carry that to term. There is no way I would have survived that.
I would have made sure I didn't survive that. I do think about that pregnancy and think about what my life would have been like if I had added another child to our family at that point.
And I'm very glad I made that decision. I felt so relieved that I could finally move on with my life.
I could finally heal. I wanted to graduate.
I wanted to study abroad. I wanted to do so many things and because of my abortion I'm now figuring those things out.
And it changed my life for the better. Having the right to an abortion, having my abortion, it saved my life.
It allowed me to become a parent when I was good and ready over a full decade later. It meant that I could grow my family on my own terms according to my own timeline with a PhD degree in hand and pursuing a career I care about deeply.
It meant that I could live my life in the way that I knew was best for me. They know who you are.
Yeah. You're pregnant.
Yes. Like, is that almost to them, like, confusing? Like, oh, the woman that's helping give abortions is pregnant now.
Like, how do they treat you? Some of them, it really does radically fuck with their heads. Last time I was pregnant, I gave birth during COVID.

And after I gave birth, I had complications.

My daughter had complications.

And that information got out somehow.

And that led to a lot of protesters being like, this is punishment.

Your daughter's going to die.

Like, this is going to be punishment for all those babies you killed.

This is your karma.

This is your retribution. I used to take it really personally.
I don't as much anymore, just because of the fact that if you did, if you took it personally, like, it would eat you alive. I feel like that's what they want, though.
They want to eat you alive. They want you to quit.
They want you to just make their lives easier. You have been personally attacked because of the work you do.
Do you mind sharing what happened to you in Raleigh? So when I was still in Raleigh, I had just gotten out of grad school and moved back down. And like most people who are new to an area, you make friends, you go on dates and things like that.

And I unfortunately went on a date with someone who I thought was normal and wasn't.

It turned out to be a protester who knew me and knew my family and knew what I did and had a lot of feelings about it and in turn took that out on me. And I was attacked and assaulted.

She needs a sec. Oh, no.
She's seen me do this way too many times. I...
I'm sad because I don't think people understand. It's very hard.
It's hard to be an open book. It's difficult to live life really publicly.
And it's difficult when you know that there are people that want to cause you harm.

And Calla is so unbelievably brave.

And she just keeps coming back and she does it over and over and over again.

You good?

Mm-hmm.

Obviously, you're still working in this field.

It's very close to you and your family.

But to have something happen to you like that like how did you move on there's a certain level that you don't move on um i will say that it still comes up it catches me off guard when it still comes up but obviously i was caught off guard in this conversation yeah because you it, you just lock it down and you keep moving.

It's like, that is a thing that happened.

And I have to now see patients who were in that exact situation too.

So if I can use that to help them and understand them,

one of the things that I do try to be kind of open about is,

and like I keep, like Robin said,

like I keep coming back and I keep being this open book is because quite honestly, people need that. And they need to know that they can talk about it.
Don't murder an innocent child. You're not going to be able to escape that.
You're murdering a man according to Jesus Christ. God said it is in God today, ma'am.
I grew up in the church. I know the Bible.
I know the true love of Jesus Christ. These people, they don't know love.
They spread hate. They take his name in vain and spread a message of hate and disgust and vile.
Scared little man. Terrified little men.
When women are not free! When women are not free!

No one is free! We are not here because men have decided that they have sovereign power over our bodies, our voices. They're not pro-life, they're pro-hypocrisy, pro-birth, and pro-control.
All they really care about is controlling and suppressing women. We need to let them know that this is our bodies and we do what the fuck we want to do with our bodies.
This is not exclusively a health care issue. It has become, it is political.
And in order to have autonomy over my own body, I need to get out there and vote. It's like, why do I have to vote to have control over my own body? How are we not progressed enough as a society where women have equal rights to men? That's a fabulous question.
How long is your podcast? I mean, everything's about inequality, but also it's not just about women not being equal to men.

It's about white patriarchal men who are terrified of the idea of losing power because when they grew up, they've always been the ones in charge.

They've always been the ones likely to be running the board meetings.

They're the ones that get called on the most in class.

They've always been in charge. So much of it is about control, and that does take you back to the patriarchy.
If you are not assigned male at birth, you have less power in this country. You just do.
At some point, we're going to get to a place where people are going to have to challenge laws, and you challenge laws by breaking them. It's something that, quite frankly, I'm doing at this moment by saying it on a camera because I could get charged with conspiracy in my home state of Alabama.
But everybody should have access to an abortion. Everybody can get access to an abortion and they can do that by accessing pills online.
Every person can do that regardless of their state by going to aidaccess.org, ordering pills and having them. Interesting.
The concept of breaking laws. And let's see, because if every single woman in America, if we all join together and we decide, no, we're actually, we do deserve abortion.
It's my fucking body. I'm going to do whatever the hell I want.
There is this amazing protest where a 100 women got together and took medication abortion out in the middle of the public square. Two of them were actually doing actual pills.
The rest of them were taking Tylenol or something. Nobody knew who was who and what was what.
No one was arrested. That's the kind of shit we need to be doing.
What will happen when the government in Alabama sees this? That's an excellent question, and it's one that I'm ready for. At some point, you have to decide what you're willing to do in order to make change.
I don't think a lot of people understand what's going on, which is essentially a war against women and our bodies. Coming here has opened my eyes and I feel so grateful

because there's never been a greater moment

that Daddy Gang can actually affect

what's going on in the world.

We genuinely can make a difference and change

and I hope this episode shows.

This is us.

We are the women that could potentially

also be going through this one day.

And so if we don't fight for ourselves, who the fuck is going to? What would be your rally cry to people in America that are listening to this in their dorm rooms, at home, in their apartments, wherever they are listening? What would you say to them? First off is fight. When you fight, you start building strength.
When you start getting up, when you start getting momentum, when you start moving, you're getting ready to battle. And that's something that is, I hate to use that terminology, but that's, that's what's going on.
This is a very much a battle. I know it's a broken system and that voting is such a hard thing in this country and so complicated, but it's a broken system we have.
And to ignore it just means downfall faster. The idea of hell has no fury like a woman scorned.
You just scorned a whole fucking nation of women and they are coming for you. Like that is the thing that gets me through every day is the thought of the reckoning.
I call it the reckoning in my head because of course I do. And it's going to be amazing

and I can't wait to watch it.

And your audience is who is going to change everything

because they're the ones

who are going to be the most impacted by this.

They are the first generation

who is going to know what it's like

to grow up without reproductive rights

that is going to have to face the idea

that there are a bunch of men in power

that think that they deserve less

Thank you. going to know what it's like to grow up without reproductive rights, that is going to have to face the idea that there are a bunch of men in power that think that they deserve less, that they don't deserve to have control over their bodies, that they don't deserve

to have sex just for pleasure.

Like, what good is a world without sex for pleasure?
