Actress Alyssa Milano has called for sex strike tweeting on Twitter. She asked women to join her in a sex strike to protest strict abortion bans passed by Republican-controlled legislatures.
She tweeted to stop having sex “until we get bodily autonomy back.” Her tweet came days after Georgia became the fourth state in the U.S. this year to ban abortions once a fetal heartbeat is detected, which can be as early as six weeks, before many women know they are pregnant.
She noted that Liberian women used a sex strike in 2003 to demand an end to a long-running civil war.
Former star of “Charmed”, urged women in her tweet to stop having sex.
Our reproductive rights are being erased.
Until women have legal control over our own bodies we just cannot risk pregnancy.
JOIN ME by not having sex until we get bodily autonomy back.
