In today’s society, we are currently facing a battle between human rights, liberty to choose for yourself, and laws that are constructed by ideologies and based on moral questions that nobody can have a correct answer to. So there is no surprise that people are constantly looking for ways to stand up for themselves and their freedom to choose the life they want to live. This debate seems rather simple in theory but when it comes to unborn children, motherhood, and women’s right to abortions, it always gets messy.

Recently, Georgia joined Kentucky, Mississippi and a few other states that recently outlawed abortion at roughly six weeks calling it a “heartbeat” bill. This law has caused a massive outrage with many celebrities joining in.

Alyssa Milano, an actress who is mostly known for her role in Charmed has recently been very active when it comes to women’s rights

She has taken part in spreading the #metoo movement, she also spoke at the 2018 Women’s March. This year, she took her activism to a new level by encouraging women to participate in a new strike.

She has taken to Twitter to protest the bill outlawing abortions at roughly 6 weeks

One of the biggest factors when it comes to protesting this law is the fact that the majority of women don’t even know they are pregnant at this stage of their pregnancy.

While some women totally agreed with this strike and decided to participate

Others believe this is only a step towards preaching conservative ideas and promoting abstinence over pro-choice

Others were disappointed since this strike only devalues women even more (edited)

I think her point is that legislators need to get the f#*k out of our bedrooms. Gov't can't/shouldnt legislate morality, and when they do, it's often to distract Americans from other BS they are up to. Yeah, in a perfect world, we all wear rubbers.

In a perfect world, we'd have a breeding time of year and there'd be no diseases and for the non fertile times we could just have at it with no consequences. Your idea of perfect is different from mine it seems ;-P

Stupid. The only one they're "hurting" is their partner, who (if they picked them right) should be on board with their agendas. Also it reinforces the idea that women have no joy in sex which is far from the truth.

So her idea is to bribe men for equal rights? Just feeding the old narrative that women are providers of sex and men are consumers.
