Reese Witherspoon starred in the movie “Sweet Home Alabama” back in 2002, so there’s no question her voice should carry hefty political clout there.
We’ve seen a lot of hand-wringing — and not much action — from the big players like Disney, Netflix, and CBS/Showtime who were enjoying the generous tax incentives they were seeing from filming in Georgia, but ever since the heartbeat bill was signed into law — by a woman — the entertainment community has been monolithic and unrepentant in its support for abortion on demand without apology at any stage of pregnancy.
We’re too lazy to check if Witherspoon was one of the 50 or so celebs who signed Alyssa Milano’s letter saying they couldn’t in good conscience work in Georgia, but she wanted women — all women — to know she’d fight for them by donating to Planned Parenthood and the ACLU.
Women of Alabama,
I will fight for you.
Women of Georgia,
I will fight for you.
Women of Ohio, Kentucky , Missouri and Mississippi,
I will fight for you.Donating to @PPact @ACLU and https://t.co/Dw5qCmWXhP to support legal efforts to fight these unconstitutional laws.

Witherspoon does realize there are a lot of pro-life women in those states, right? She really ought to make that clear: “Pro-choice women, I will fight for you.”
I live in Georgia. I HAVE a voice, thanks very much, Ms Witherspoon. Stop trying to take it from me. https://t.co/Y4E9S5TxpL

Naw, we good. We believe in fair fights aka the unborn needs a voice too.

We are good fighting for ourselves and the unborn. I don't know what you are fighting for…. death? Look up statistics on women being able to give birth after abortions or the suicide rate or depression rate. Thanks for letting us know where you stand though.

How about the majority of women in Alabama who disagree with you? Gonna fight for them too?

I don’t need you to fight for me I’m pro-life

Don't fight for me. I'm good over here. Fight for the rights of the unborn women being slaughtered over something that's often an avoidable outcome.

And many many many women support the pro-life movement, and every single law that was passed!

Thank God you didn’t list Arkansas cause we don’t need you either. Love our babies! Also you need to support boys more!

As a woman of Kentucky, please don’t. You don’t speak for me. My vote speaks for me and it went to the candidate who supports pro-life causes, thank you very much. You may not care about the next generation of Kentuckians, but we do, so you can step right back off.

This Kentucky girl is good… thanks though! I’d rather you not.

No thanks, we’re good. ??

No thanks, next.

✔️Doesn't support women choosing which schools they can send their children.
✔️Doesn't support women keeping more of their income.
✔️Doesn't support women being able to choose any health care plan they desire.
You don't fight for women. You fight for abortion.

I am reading between the lines here, but I think you are saying you will fight against women in the womb who are threatened with death by another woman who wants to end their life because one woman is stronger and the women in the womb are weaker. Do I understand you correctly?

We’re pretty sure it’s a simple as the fact that the unborn baby doesn’t “look” human yet, even though every person walking the earth, including themselves, once looked like that.
I think I’ll fight for the babies. Meanwhile you wouldn’t piss in a Alabama woman’s ear if her brain was on fire.
And as for Georgia…how’d that “don’t you know who I am” drunk driving thing work out?
You don’t care for your own life, much less anyone else’s.

I don’t want you to fight for me. I want you to fight for her. She was the perfect candidate for abortion. Her unmarried young mom didn’t even know the father. She was saved and now she has the potential to change the world. pic.twitter.com/b49GWeLlAL

Babies of Alabama,
I will fight for you.
Babies of Georgia,
I will fight for you.
Babies of Ohio, Kentucky , Missouri and Mississippi,
I will fight for you.Donating to the cause of common decency and understanding that a life is a life….PERIOD!
PRICELESS!

When you stand before God will you fight him on this too?
— Maddox (@Maddox8212) June 1, 2019
Thank you for supporting our work! ?

Making sure babies are afforded no civil liberties … GFY.

Gotta pass through that magical birth canal to graduate to a human being with rights.
