Actress Bette Midler Urges All Women to Refuse to Have Sex with Men in Protest of Texas Abortion Law

Left-wing celebrities continue to suffer meltdowns over Texas’ new abortion law.

Texas successfully made abortion illegal if the unborn baby’s heartbeat can be detected, which happens at approximately six weeks.

This decision in Texas has liberals furious. Joe Biden and Nancy Pelosi have condemned Texas’s new abortion law.

In the past, Democrats have argued that abortion should be “safe, legal, and rare.”

Radical Democrats now support late-term abortion and abortion-on-demand, even if the unborn baby has a heartbeat.

Former President Barack Obama is regularly accused of “supporting infanticide” when he opposed Illinois legislation that would have defined any aborted fetus that showed signs of life as a “born alive infant” entitled to legal protection, even if doctors believe he or she could not survive.

Hollywood actress Bette Midler has a new recommendation for women who want to protest the Texas’ law.

Midler tells women to practice abstinence as retaliation.

“I suggest that all women refuse to have sex with men until they are guaranteed the right to choose by Congress,” Midler wrote to social media.

Here’s the tweet:

More from Daily Wire:

Midler apparently reasoned that pro-lifers would be so put out by the sex strike they’d eventually “guarantee” women’s “right” to an abortion…

The pro-life law tweaking Midler effectively bans most abortions after six weeks, when an unborn baby’s heartbeat can be detected on an ultrasound.

The legislation took effect Wednesday morning after both the Supreme Court and a lower federal court of appeals refused to rule on a demand from Texas abortion providers to stay the law pending further litigation, The Daily Wire reported.

Midler is not the first celebrity to tell women to practice abstinence to stick it to pro-lifers. Back in 2019, abortion advocate and actress Alyssa Milano called for a “sex strike” in retaliation for a similar pro-life heartbeat bill in Georgia.

“Our reproductive rights are being erased. Until women have legal control over our own bodies we just cannot risk pregnancy,” Milano tweeted in May 2019. “JOIN ME by not having sex until we get bodily autonomy back. I’m calling for a #SexStrike. Pass it on.”

“Despite widespread mockery for the ironically pro-chastity/anti-‘women’s liberation’ strike, Milano doubled down 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,” The Daily Wire reported at the time.
