Bette Midler is speaking out against the highly restrictive anti-abortion law that went into effect this week in Texas.

The following day, Bette continued to speak out against the anti-choice law.
“This isn’t about guns, speech, money or war. It’s about women, their lives, their bodies, and their autonomy,” Bette wrote.
“That’s what allowed the court to do shoddy work, with careless disregard, because who’s going to stop it? They only did the thing in the dead of night, without care or effort, because they believe women are so used to being gaslit that of course, they’ll just tolerate it,” she added. “They did the thing in the dead of night without care or effort because they genuinely believe that they’re only women, and they deserve what they get.”
