A Sex Strike to Nowhere
Lysistrata, the character from the Aristophanes play of the same name, declared a sex strike to try to stop a devastating war in ancient Greece. Alyssa Milano, the actress and political activist, declared a sex strike to try to stop Georgia from protecting unborn children in the womb.
Alyssa Milano’s Not-So-Lucky Strike
The former star of “Who’s the Boss?” wants to make it clear who *isn’t* the boss of women’s bodies. But Alyssa Milano’s idea for protesting Georgia’s new pro-life law has only proven one thing: Just because Hollywood takes a side doesn’t mean they understand the issue.

The Children Demand ‘Medicare for All ‘
Scratch the surface of any of us and not far down is the child. It’s not a bad thing for certain parts of adult life.

Unfortunately, that child in all of us also seeps through into places of the adult world he does not belong.
