Bette Midler is embracing a very old idea to get rid of the oppressive Texas forced birth law.
Lysistrata
Lysistrata is an ancient Greek comedy by Aristophanes, originally performed in classical Athens in 411 BC. It is a comic account of a woman's extraordinary mission to end the Peloponnesian War between Greek city states by denying all the men of the land any sex, which was the only thing they truly and deeply desired. Lysistrata persuades the women of the warring cities to withhold sexual privileges from their husbands and lovers as a means of forcing the men to negotiate peace—a strategy, however, that inflames the battle between the sexes.
I suggest that all women refuse to have sex with men until they are guaranteed the right to choose by Congress.
The cruelty of the #GOP
is endless. We are suffering COVID-19, hurricanes, apocalyptic
flooding, wildfires from hell, joblessness, homelessness, evictions,
racial strife, and they pick this hideous time to pile on yet another
shock to women, by taking away their right to choose.
