Big Apple abortion demonstrators were in backing of a sex strike Saturday — as “abstinence” began trending on Twitter in the wake of the Supreme Court’s choice to overturn Roe v. Wade.

“If you’re a man who won’t get a vasectomy, even though it’s reversible, and you’re not out in the streets fighting for my rights, you do not deserve to have sex with me,” Brianna Campbell, a 24-year-old EMT, explained to The Post.

Caroline Healey, a 22-year-old event coordinator, further asked why sex was more important than women’s rights.

“I think it’s absolutely valid for us to be withholding the Holy Grail that men seem to think is important,” she said, according to The Post, at an abortion protest in Manhattan’s Union Square.

“Why shouldn’t we withhold it if we’re always worried that they’re not going put a condom on, that they’re going take one off after we ask them to,” she went on.

“If we can’t safely go out and have sex and know that we will have a choice after that, then why should we be expected to?”

In the meantime, Maya Demri, a survivor of rape, insisted that women need to “do everything in their legal power to get our rights back” after the high court struck down the landmark abortion ruling.

“I cannot sit here and imagine what my sisters in red states are going to do if they’re getting pregnant by rape and need to not just carry the tragedy of the worst thing that has happened to them, but also carry them in the body for nine months,” she said to The Post.

“If this world thinks that they can oppress women forever, then we close our legs.”

Calls for a nationwide sex strike were further gathering momentum on social media and, at one point, “abstinence” was trending on Twitter with over 26,900 tweets as of Saturday afternoon.

“Women of America: Take the pledge. Because SCOTUS overturned Roe v. Wade, we cannot take the risk of an unintended pregnancy, therefore, we will not have sex with any man — including our husbands — unless we are trying to become pregnant,” one Twitter user wrote.

“I live in New York and I am DOUBLE FURIOUS with the Supreme Court. I want to find people who are coordinating a mass sex strike. That is our power,” one woman fumed. “Women have the power here. No more sex until abortion rights are federal law.”

Another announced: “Perhaps a #sexstrike (also known as #abstinence) would help the men folk to be all in on this #womensrights issue.”

A number of others were sharing an image online that read: “#SexStrike. If our choices are denied, so are yours.”

The calls for abstinence came as different pro-choice activists took to the streets across the nation for a second day in protest over Friday’s abortion ruling.

Others further intended to demonstrate outside the houses of the six conservative justices.
