This technically makes most forms of birth control illegal as well.

If women want to not have sex, and only continue having sex because otherwise the guy will rape them, aren’t they already having coerced sex?

On Friday, Milano tweeted “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.”

Her proposal is very silly, but not because it negates women who don’t choose to have sex or (God help me) because it will lead to rape. It’s stupid because it’s shallow, performative, seemingly narcissistic claptrap that won’t be adopted and won’t accomplish anything. Women abstaining from sex is not the cause of rape…

I’m going back to good ole Elisabeth Hasslebeck’s meltdown on the View because she didn’t like the morning after pill. She showed her true colors that she just didn’t want women to have options. To some mothers burdened with their own children the only thing they wish for is to see another woman burdened too.

Let’s not discount the potential effect of this idea. If we get 100% buy-in from all of the empowered pro-choice feminists who happen to be the primary sexual partners of anti-abortion lawmakers, we could be talking about threes or even fours of people.

Also, some women like to have sex, a sex strike isn't just a punishment for men. That sex is a bargaining chip for women is a very outdated view. I’m sure it happens, a lot even, but we’re never going to evolve away from that if women keep saying things like this

Ok sex strike may be extreme and counterproductive but if I was a Georgia woman I would triple up on my birth control. No babies until assurance is given that something like a birth defect or an ectopic pregnancy won't be used to prosecute me

Yeaaaaaah... I don’t think this is the way either? I mean, isn’t Milano negating the women and girls that, un-fucking-fortunately, do not “choose” to have sex? If this thing actually picks up momentum, I feel like it is just going to make certain dudes more aggressive and turn to rape, because ultimately, it’s all…

I’m thinking Alyssa Milano’s partner is pretty “woke” as it is, so I’m sure he doesn’t need to be convinced about the importance of abortion rights. And she’s probably not sleeping with those who need to be convinced anyway, so it won’t make much difference to them if she’s on a sex strike. They’re probably married to…

Absolutely. They’re also going to come for IUDs because they prevent fertilized eggs from implanting in the uterus. 

Here’s an important thing to note: if it’s criminal to have an abortion all the way back to the point of conception, then any form of contraception that prevents a fertilized egg from implanting in the uterus immediately becomes illegal as well.

I always thought that when there are exceptions for rape or incest the GOP is tipping its hand and admitting they just want to punish women for having sex. Or rape and incest babies aren’t real babies? At this point I’m surprised they don’t outlaw life-saving abortions. But that’s probably next.

That’s where I am.  Like, would a woman taking a Plan B pill the morning after now count?

Dudes jacking off into a tissue? Women having their regular monthly period?

Birth control.

How can there be an abortion BEFORE conception? I really can't wrap my mind around this.

Jesusfuckingchrist Republicans are fucking garbage. 

A perfectly normal pregnancy is detrimental to the health of the pregnant person . . .

Shit like this makes me glad to be barren. At least I’ll be an unwoman instead of a handmaid.
