American actress and #MeToo activist Alyssa Milano struck a chord on social media after she called on women to stop having sex with men until the US state of Georgia rescinds a strict new abortion law.
"Our reproductive rights are being erased," Milano wrote on Twitter on Friday. "Join me by not having sex until we get bodily autonomy back."
Nearly 40,000 people have liked the post since its publication.
A group of film stars led by Milano, including Alec Baldwin, Don Cheadle, Ben Stiller, Mia Farrow and Amy Schumer, had threatened in late March to refuse to work in Georgia if it adopted the new abortion restrictions.
The new law bans abortion as soon as a fetal heartbeat can be detected, which generally occurs in the sixth week of pregnancy.
The state's Republican governor, Brian Kemp, signed the bill into law on Tuesday.
Our reproductive rights are being erased.

Until women have legal control over our own bodies we just cannot risk pregnancy.
