Alyssa Milano urges sex strike in protest against Georgia abortion law: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-48242766
“Until women have legal control over our own bodies we just cannot risk pregnancy," she tweeted.
Does anyone else find Alyssa Milano’s “sex strike” to be rather ironic?
“I’m going to abstain from sex because I can’t risk getting pregnant” - that’s the whole point of the pro-life side of the debate, that people who don’t want children ought to avoid pregnancy through abstinence, rather than by terminating a pregnancy after it has already occurred. It’s not a threat, it’s exactly what they want.
It’s not as if policy makers will now think “oh dear we won’t get to have sex with Alyssa Milano anymore, we’d better reverse our decision!” They’ll just say “good for you, we hope more people do this!”
Nobody even knows nor cares whether she’s actually sticking to that pledge or not. I don’t see how it achieves anything.
