Actress Reese Witherspoon has joined with other fellow Hollywood activists in condemning the new legislation outlawing abortion in half-dozen states when a heartbeat is detected.
The actor slammed the new law describing the “new abortion bans” on Twitter as “unconstitutional,” “abhorrent,” and “an attack on women’s fundamental rights.”
"I’m beyond upset about the passing of new abortion bans in Alabama, Kentucky, Mississippi, Georgia, and Ohio."
“This is Unconstitutional and Abhorrent. We can not tolerate this attack on women’s fundamental rights.”

Witherspoon has previously identified herself as a “feminist,” defining feminism as a movement that seeks “equality” between the sexes.
Among Hollywood liberals echoing Witherspoon’s opposition to the new state restrictions on abortion included actor Chris Evans, singer and actress Lady Gaga, film director Ava Duvernay, Hamilton playwright Lin-Manuel Miranda, comedienne Sarah Silverman, and others.
Bette Midler called on Georgia’s women to “stop having sex with men” in protest against the state's “Heartbeat” bill.

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 hope the #womenofGeorgia stop having sex with men until these indignities are overturned."
Actress Alyssa Milano also called for a sex strike" protesting "heartbeat bill."
Despite widespread ridicule, Milano doubled down on her the "sex strike" by co-authoring an op-ed explaining the reason behind the protest movement.
The actress even began tweeting out warnings to women about getting "thrown in prison" because of Republicans.
"Our reproductive rights are being erased. Until women have legal control over our own bodies, we just cannot risk pregnancy.
