"Time to ban viagra": Bette Midler gets fired up
Bette Midler has responded to the US Supreme Court's ruling to overturn Roe v Wade in an equally hilarious and furious reaction.
The 76-year-old actress took aim at the justices whose decision allowed individual states to decide whether to make abortion illegal.
In a fiery post to social media, she said, "Time to ban Viagra. Because if pregnancy is 'God's will', then so is your limp d**k."
The post racked up nearly 250,000 likes amid the huge wave of opposition to the controversial SCOTUS ruling.
Midler has been vocal with her criticism of the decision since last week, calling Justice Clarence Thomas an "a**hole" and branding Justice Samuel Alito a "villain".
In her first reaction to the news, she wrote, "They did it. THEY DID IT TO US! #SCOTUS has overturned #RoevWade, enshrined in the Constitution as settled law for over 50 years."
"How dare they? This #SCOTUS is absolutely tone-deaf to the will and even the actual needs of the American people. #WakeUpAmerica."
Bette Midler is far from the only celebrity to weigh in on the devastating decision.
Many high-profile women, including former First Lady Michelle Obama, have made moving and poignant statements about the controversial ruling which have garnered international attention.
In a post on Instagram, Michelle Obama said, "I am heartbroken that we may now be destined to learn the painful lessons of a time before Roe was made law of the land - a time when women risked their lives getting illegal abortions."
"That is what our mothers and grandmothers and great-grandmothers lived through, and now we are here again."
