Alyssa Milano calls for tweets insulting Alabama lawmakers to 'go viral' over recently passed abortion bill
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Actress and activist Alyssa Milano boosted the signal of a Twitter thread that called out 13 Alabama lawmakers that helped pass the recent controversial bill that bans most abortions in the state.
The law will make performing an abortion in Alabama a felony, punishable by up to 99 years or life in prison unless the mother’s health is at risk, with no exceptions for women impregnated by rape or incest.
Actress and author Heather Whaley shared a lengthy Twitter thread in which she personally attacked senators and slammed them for going after women’s rights by way of the ban.
