Alyssa Milano calls for a sex strike to protest anti-abortion laws, gets slammed on Twitter

Alyssa Milano is calling on her followers to join her in a sex strike to protest anti-abortion laws – and the response has not been great.

The actress and activist, 46, took to Twitter late Friday to share her idea, which comes after one of the most restrictive abortion laws in the nation was signed in Georgia earlier this week. The "heartbeat bill" makes it illegal to have an abortion after a heartbeat has been detected in the womb — about six weeks into a pregnancy.

"Our reproductive rights are being erased. Until women have legal control over our own bodies we just cannot risk pregnancy," she wrote. "JOIN ME by not having sex until we get bodily autonomy back. I’m calling for a #SexStrike. Pass it on."

The tweet has garnered a lot of attention with over 17,000 likes and 14,000 replies, causing the hashtag to trend on the social media platform Saturday.

A new term I discovered not long ago, which is short for “involuntary celebates”.

I noted then (and now) that these are largely adult white males.

So now Liberals are telling us to be abstinent too? Also, women don't "give" men sex - such a harmful idea we should get rid of.
