Alyssa Milano’s Stance on Abortion ‘Reveals Ignorance, Racism,’ NFL Player Benjamin Watson Says

NFL player Benjamin Watson clapped back at Alyssa Milano after she argued that women of color would be hurt by abortion bans and restrictions.

Milano appeared on CNN last week where she talked to Chris Cuomo about her call for a “sex strike.” Milano argued that all women should abstain from sex until such a time that they regain the ‘right’ to have an abortion. The actress pointed to privilege when talking about recent pro-life legislation passed in Georgia, Alabama, Ohio, etc. saying that “women of privilege” will not be affected by the abortion restrictions in the same way as women of color.

6) If Roe is overturned this will be catastrophic for the women most at risk.

Government is never bigger than when it’s in our uteruses.

We must take a stand against the @GOP legislating our bodies. That means you too, men! Fight with us. We need you. #SexStrike

Milano told Cuomo “I feel like any woman of privilege that lives in one of these states — if this goes through — they’re gonna be able to travel to a state to get a safe reproductive health care.”

She continued, “But for the women of color, for the women that are marginalized, for the women that are low-income communities, for the women that are most at-risk, this bill will be catastrophic.”
