'If male politicians could get pregnant, there would be as many Planned Parenthood clinics as there are Post Offices.' Ocasio-Cortez wrote on Twitter.
New York congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez continues to use social media to call out politicians who have voted to enact stricter abortion laws.
Ocasio-Cortez retweeted Streisand, saying,"If male politicians could get pregnant, there would be as many Planned Parenthood clinics as there are Post Offices." In a follow-up tweet, the New York representative said,"Ultimately, this is about women’s power. When women are in control of their sexuality, it threatens a core element underpinning right-wing ideology: patriarchy. It’s a brutal form of oppression to seize control of the one essential thing a person should command: their own body."
"You can’t say we didn’t warn you, @GovernorKayIvey. See you in court," the ACLU tweeted on Wednesday after Ivey signed the bill. Ohio is among the states that have passed laws that are commonly referred to as"heartbeat" bills, so-named as the limit for abortions are often set at six weeks, the time in which a fetus' heartbeat can often be detected by a medical professional. Critics have condemned the bill as some women do not learn they are pregnant until the six week mark of a pregnancy, eliminating their right to choose abortion under the law in some states.
