(CNN) Actress Alyssa Milano called for a sex strike in response to restrictive abortion laws, and many women were quick to call her out.

"Until women have legal control over our own bodies we just cannot risk pregnancy," Milano said on Twitter Friday. "JOIN ME by not having sex until we get bodily autonomy back."

Our reproductive rights are being erased.
