Bette Midler has been met with criticism on social media after tweeting about the “erasure” of women in wake of the US Supreme Court’s decision to overturn Roe v. Wade.On Sunday (July 3), the actress, singer and comedian appeared to reference the new ruling on abortion laws in a tweet that has been described by many as transphobic.Her post read: “WOMEN OF THE WORLD!
