Alyssa Milano Doubles Down On Sex Strike, Tells Women They’ll Be ‘Thrown In Prison,’ Sparks More Mockery

John Bickley

On Friday, feminist activist actress Alyssa Milano called for a “sex strike” to protest the State of Georgia’s new “heartbeat bill,” which bans abortion after a heartbeat is detectable, which can be as early as six weeks. Despite widespread mockery for the ironically pro-chastity/anti-“women’s liberation” strike, Milano doubled down on Monday by co-authoring an op-ed explaining the rationale behind her latest ill-received protest movement and tweeting out warnings to women about getting “thrown in prison” because of Republicans.

Milano’s “sex strike” started on Friday, when she tweeted out her call for women to get their “bodily autonomy back” by turning sex into a political bargaining chip: “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. I’m calling for a #SexStrike. Pass it on.”
