Finding a soulmate? Whatever. An easy hook-up? Easy enough.

But figuring out which politicians want to deny women basic health rights? Now that’s a challenge.

Fortunately, the new app Hinder is here to help.

Developed by the pro-choice activist group Lady Parts Justice, founded by The Daily Show co-creator Lizz Winstead, the new app is like Tinder, but better. With a single swipe, you can browse through a growing cache of profiles of anti-choice politicians, with a full breakdown of the extent of their anti-woman statements, votes, and legislative initiatives.

“Satirizing a popular platform like Tinder to get people to understand just how many powerful people are working tirelessly to shame women and end abortion is a good way to reach those who may not know just how dire the state of reproductive access is in 2015″ Winstead told Yahoo Health. “Plus it’s super fun to make fun of people who abuse their power.”

And even better than a swipe to find a date, a swipe on Hinder lets users share the message about politicians with a definitely anti-women’s healthcare stance.

While Apple initially rejected the app from the app store, calling it “offensive,” the company has since reversed their stance, making Hinder available to all (you know, like reproductive rights ought to be.)

You don’t need to take our word for it. As comedian and actress Sarah Silverman said in an interview with GIRLS creator and star Lena Dunham in today’s Lenny Letter about the new app, “It’s satirical and informative and brilliant. [Winstead] is an unsung hero of feminism who works tirelessly, and I love her.”
