Alyssa Milano urges for a sex strike in protest against Georgia's abortion law

Alyssa Milano has proposed that women should participate in a sex strike to protest restrictive anti-abortion laws. The actress and women’s rights activist took to their Twitter on Friday calling for women to not have sex until “we get bodily autonomy back.”

On Tuesday, Republican Gov. Brian Kemp signed one of the restrictive anti-abortion laws.The ‘heartbeat bill’ bans abortions after a fetal heartbeat are detected, which is about six weeks from conception, and before many women know they’re pregnant.
Milano tweeted, “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.”
Responding to Milana tweet, one Twitter user wrote,“If they want to control our bodies reproductive organs, [then] we should deny sex to cis men,”


“Join us in helping is men feel the physical consequences of our reproductive rights being systematically eliminated!” mentioned Kate Kelly, a human rights attorney.
“Living under patriarchy has already robbed me of safety, autonomy, opportunities, and trust in our institutions. Now I’m supposed to give up sex, too, and play into the fiction that it’s just a bargaining chip/transaction for women? Love you, but nope”, author Kristi Coulter asserted.


On Saturday, Milano appeared to respond to the backlash. She tweeted, “We can LOVE sex and fight for our bodily autonomy. There are lots of alternatives to cis men.”
