Alyssa Milano, which plays an important role in the movement #MeToo, urged women to refrain from intimate life until then, until the law about the fetal heartbeat will not be cancelled.
The law on fetal heartbeat forbids women to have an abortion after a doctor can hear the baby’s heartbeat in the womb, which usually occurs at 6 weeks pregnant. The actress has criticized the bill on Twitter and urged the women to abstinence until until they get «back their own independence.»
She wrote: «Our rights in reproductive health crossed. As long as women will not have a legal control over their bodies we just can’t risk pregnancy. Join me in abstinence until we get back their own independence.»
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.

Tweet of the actress attracted a lot of attention, having received more than 17 thousand likes and 14 thousand reviews. Although the reaction to her proposal was mixed.
For example, someone wrote: «So it turns out that sex is something women do as a service to men; this also supports the theory that women need to be ashamed for the pleasure in the relationship.» Someone else added: «to Thank the men for equal rights of access to our bodies – this is not how feminism works».
A similar law in Ohio, Mississippi, Kentucky, Iowa and North Dakota.
