Over the past few weeks, three states — Georgia, Alabama and Tennessee — passed laws restricting or banning abortions. But it was the ban signed into law by Alabama Gov. Kay Ivey, considered the nation's most restrictive law, that sent the nation, and notably the social media site Twitter, into a tailspin.
A week before the Alabama ban was made law, actress and activist Alyssa Milano's now infamous sex strikeled the news cycle as she called women to "join (her) by not having sex until (women) get bodily autonomy back."
Many expressed disapproval of Milano's strike, noting that the idea of weaponizing women's bodies to prove a point only further objectifies us, a point I wholeheartedly agree with.
Another Hollywood star, Jim Carrey, took to Twitter this weekend to share artwork depicting Ivey as a baby in the womb being aborted by suction, a portion of her skull caved in by the device. The gruesome picture was accompanied by equally disturbing words: "I think If you're going to terminate a pregnancy, it should be done sometime before the fetus becomes Governor of Alabama," Carrey wrote.
