Ariel Winter, of Modern Family fame, just went off on Tennessee lawmakers after a bill was introduced that would give rights to a man to petition the court to stop an abortion. She’s not cool with that at all, especially because the man doesn’t need the pregnant woman’s consent first.

Winter, who just turned 23-years-old, jumped on Instagram to call out these men writing a law about what women can do with their bodies. Even worse, the law would give men even more control over women’s bodies!

The bill was sponsored by two Tennessee lawmakers and it makes NO EXCEPTION for rape or incest either. If the man wants to stop an abortion — then he can. Winter is fuming about his.

ARE YOU F*CKING SERIOUS?????? NO EXCEPTIONS????? BANNING ABORTION IS BAD ENOUGH BUT NOW YOU’RE TELLING ME THAT A RAPIST CAN DECIDE WHETHER OR NOT THEIR VICTIM CAN GET AN ABORTION????? WHAT IF AN 11 YEAR OLD CHILD IS RAPED AND GETS PREGNANT? WE’RE GOING TO ALLOW THIS????? WE’RE GOING TO TELL THAT CHILD THAT SHE HAS TO CARRY AND RAISE A RAPIST’S CHILD? WHAT’S NEXT? HE’S GUARANTEED VISITATION/CUSTODY RIGHTS TOO?

She posted the above in an Instagram story as a note over an article about the bill. You can find a screenshot from her Insta below.

This message from Ariel Winter likely won’t hit home in Tennessee, but she definitely got her point across.

Years of experience in writing, journalism, and digging exclusive insider info for Ringside News opened the door for a new opportunity for Jenkins. With a history in finance, he broke into the journalism game by writing on blogs and other freelance websites before branching into sports and entertainment news. Being in tune with pop culture doesn't mean it has to make sense, but he tries. Favorite bands include any group from Seattle who formed between 1991 and 1999. 5 Ozzfests under his belt and 12 Warped Tours, but his last concert was a bluegrass AC/DC cover band that was not 100% terrible.
