#MeToo activist and actress Alyssa Milano has called for a female #sexstrike to protest new abortion laws in the American state of Georgia.

Georgia is the fourth US state to ban abortions once a fetal heartbeat is detected, which may be as early as six weeks which is often before many women even know they are pregnant.

Milano took to twitter to urge women to follow in the footsteps of Iroquois and Liberian activists and engage in abstinence, saying women cannot risk pregnancy until they “get bodily autonomy back”.
