Piers Morgan has criticised model Emily Ratajkowski for posting a naked photograph of herself to protest against the abortion ban in Alabama.On Tuesday, the Senate passed a bill to ban nearly all abortions in nearly all circumstances, including rape and incest in the state. The bill means that those performing abortions would be committing a felony, punishable by 10 to 99 years in prison, although the law will take effect given that abortion is legal in the US.In response, Ratajkowski took to social media platform to discuss the legislation.On Thursday, the 27-year-old posted a naked photograph of herself in which she covers her breasts with her hand and has a flower placed between her legs.“This week, 25 old white men voted to ban abortion in Alabama even in cases of incest and rape,” she captioned the post.“These men in power are imposing their wills onto the bodies of women in order to uphold the patriarchy and perpetuate the industrial prison complex by preventing women of low economic opportunity the right to choose to not reproduce.> View this post on Instagram> > This week, 25 old white men voted to ban abortion in Alabama even in cases of incest and rape.
