Law and order: The SVU star shared a lengthy message with his Instagram followers on Friday, in which he called the Supreme Court counsel's draft opinion "immoral" and "unethical."
Mariska Hargitay spoke about the annulment expected by the US Supreme Court in Rowe v. Wade, a critical case in 1973 that guaranteed abortion rights nationally.
Law and order: The SVU star shared a lengthy message on his Instagram condemning the "majority opinion" allegedly written by Judge Samuel Alito, who ruled Roe v. Wade as "grossly wrong from the start."
Hargitay, 58, wrote that his recently completed job in the Special Victims Unit season 23 kept his mind focused as he moved and felt "angry" at the decisions that might be made.
Hargitay also talked about the plight of those who become pregnant after sexual assault, which she described as "a forced eradication of choice."
Many states, including Louisiana, Missouri, and South Dakota, have enacted laws that would make victims of abortions who terminate their pregnancies criminally responsible if repealed at the federal level.
"First, the perpetrator decides the victim's body, followed by a legislative decision," Harghitai wrote. "Once an attack turns a victim's body into a crime scene, she may immediately be confronted that without access to legal abortion, she will not be able to complete her subsequent pregnancy without turning her body into another crime scene.
Finishing his statement, which he signed under his first name, Harghita urged his followers to join in his speech, saying, "The retrial for our rights must end."
"The offensive, shameful, negative struggle is not over, nor is it our duty to do whatever is necessary to protect those whose wounds in this struggle are deepest," he wrote.
