Women in Georgia and other anti-choice states must stop having sex with men, in self-defense

Thanks to new laws you won't be allowed to have abortions after six weeks, far too soon for many women to even know they're pregnant. You will, in fact, be penalized and possibly sent to prison for life, even if you try to go to another state to do it. And there are enough lawmakers with either no idea how a woman's body works or a strong desire to control them (or both) to pass laws like this and worse with the intention to push them up to the Supreme Court and overturn Roe vs Wade. It's clear that with the people in control at the moment, abortion will be completely criminalized again, probably soon.

But birth control is not 100%, some women can't use some forms of it at all, and some forms are wrongly considered abortion drugs so they'll be banned soon as well. The people fighting hard to pass these laws want to ensure that any time a woman has sex, there is a very real chance of pregnancy that then must be brought to term. Since many women do not want to have a child right now, there's only one rational response.

Stop having sex. With men, anyway.

Just stop. If you live in a state that passes a law like this, you really have no choice unless you want to risk becoming a brood mare. Just explain to the man that legally, it's not worth the risk. I'm sure they'll understand. No non-reproductive sex, either, too risky things might get out of control.

It won't be easy for many women, but be firm. Especially if you are intimate with any male legislator in one of those states, cut them off completely and immediately.

You'll have a lot of free time and pent-up energy, of course. I suggest using it to organize, rally, campaign and vote.

Because the only other option is to get these dangerous idiots out of office as quickly and completely as possible.
