Before giving birth to her son, Jennifer Lawrence experienced two miscarriages, as she told Vogue in a recent cover story. The Oscar winner claimed that before she could have her scheduled abortion, she became pregnant in her early 20s and “had a miscarriage alone in Montreal.” While Adam McKay’s Netflix comedy “Don’t Look Up” was being filmed, Lawrence became pregnant once again and miscarried twice. After that, she needed to have her uterus tissue removed by surgery.
When describing her rage at the Supreme Court overturning Roe v. Wade, Lawrence mentioned the miscarriages. Following the decision, Lawrence’s native Kentucky outlawed abortions, escalating a divide in his Republican family that had begun when Donald Trump was elected president. Because of medical treatment, Lawrence was able to become pregnant, and she voiced fury that young girls in America now have few alternatives.
I remember thinking about it a million times while I was pregnant, said Lawrence. And my pregnancy was wonderful. My pregnancy was fortunate. But every moment of my life was unique. Additionally, I would periodically think to myself, “What if I was forced to do this?”
After delivering birth, the actor had been attempting to mend the family’s differences, but things became more problematic when the Supreme Court verdict became public. Lawrence used counseling to work through her familial issues, and while there, she also spoke up to her counselor about a reoccurring nightmare she was having about Fox News personality Tucker Carlson.
I’ve worked very hard over the past five years to try to comprehend the changes and forgive my dad and my family. They are getting various pieces of information. Their way of life has changed. stated Lawrence. I’ve tried to get over it, but I’m simply not able to. I apologize for just having a good time, but I’ve given up on having sex with non-political people. You live there and are an American citizen. You need to hold political opinions. It’s terrible. Politics is killing people, unfortunately.
“Lawrence said, “I don’t want to minimize my family, but I know that many people have similar problems with their families. How could you bring up a girl from day one and think she doesn’t merit equality? How?”
Lawrence has had to deal with inequality in Hollywood as well, where she frequently receives lower pay than her male co-stars. She earned far less than her male co-stars in “American Hustle,” according to the Sony breach, and in “Don’t Look Up,” according to rumors from 2021, she made $5 million less than Leonardo DiCaprio despite having top billing with him.
All performers, according to Lawrence, are frequently overpaid, but it doesn’t make the salary discrepancy any less aggravating. It doesn’t matter how much I do, she continued. I still won’t get paid as much as that other guy because of my vagina, right?
