We should be talking about the white supremacist origins of the political “pro-life” movement more. The rise of these anti-choice laws during the time of rising white supremacist violence is not a coincidence. This is where an intersectional analysis is sorely needed.

Folks having feelings about the wave of super shitty reproductive violence based bills? Have you joined
@AbortionFunds yet? Have you found your local abortion fund to support? What are the reproductive justice challenges locally?

1. Erasing LGBTQIA folks from the discussion of abortion and centering solutions (if you can call this a solution) around cis/heterosexual sex is counterproductive.https://twitter.com/alyssa_milano/status/1127040792281767936 …

Our bodies aren’t “sex stores” that we should close up shop for men. And not all women sleep with men anyway. And the idea that we can withhold sex from men as a means of gaining equality is such a limiting understanding of how we exist in the world. I just don’t like it!pic.twitter.com/kiBAjT9C66

And i am always open to changing my mind, but these are my first impressions. I have no skin in the game bc I am very much not having any sex. But it’s a head scratcher and first impressions matter, too.

6/ I’m not above media stunts (i lit old college stuff on Facebook Live to raise awareness about campus sexual assault of Black women), but there needs to be a purpose. Right now it seems like just an advertising tool for Milano to raise her profile while confusing most of us

5/ Different tactics work in different circumstances. I don’t see how this will work—is this just for cis women? Is it just for participants who support repro rights? What is the theory of change here? But seriously...how is this strategic and planned to be effective?

4/ is this an attempt to “shock” media into coverage? I am starting to hate this twitter-first flavor of activism. It gets you a lot of media hits and attention, but does it further the cause?

3/ this seems to be in response to the Georgia law. Is this something people on the ground—the Black women and repro advocates want? It’s important to have activism led by the people closest to the issue

2a/ a tactic like this sucks because it still leaves the power for patriarchal men in power to choose whether to play along. This is the sort of power struggle they love.

2/ withholding sex to get what you want is a manipulative move. It’s a warning sign for toxic relationships. I don’t think we should normalize passive-aggressive behavior as a solution to men’s outsized political power

1/ it feels like that top-down activism that is very out of touch with what people want to do on the ground. A celebrity announcing this without explain how/where it comes from is a turn off.

Please stop feeding the narrative that women are providers and men are consumers of sex. Bribing men for equal rights with access to our bodies is not how feminism works.

The first time racism is mentioned in this piece is: “Today it's becoming more clear that disparities have more to do with racism than race, says Neel Shah, an OB-GYN and a professor at Harvard Medical School.” Thank you!https://n.pr/2vOn7nz
