Jennifer Lawrence had recurring nightmares about Tucker Carlson in the wake of the Supreme Court overturning Roe v. Wade
- Jennifer Lawrence said she has nightmares about Tucker Carlson since Roe v. Wade was overturned.
- She revealed to Vogue that she had two miscarriages before having her son.
Jennifer Lawrence says she had recurring nightmares about Fox News host Tucker Carlson after the Supreme Court reversed its Roe v. Wade decision in June.
Lawrence told Vogue for the outlet's October cover story that she has spoken with her therapist about the dreams and has tried to come to terms with growing up around Republican relatives in Louisville, Kentucky.
"I just worked so hard in the last five years to forgive my dad and my family and try to understand: It's different. The information they are getting is different. Their life is different," she told Vogue. "I've tried to get over it and I really can't. I can't."
Lawrence told Vogue that she had been emotional following the Supreme Court ruling, which overturned the constitutional right to have an abortion.
The reversal came just months after Lawrence had her first child with her husband of three years, Cooke Maroney. She told Vogue she had previously been pregnant — once in her early 20s when she planned to get an abortion but miscarried, and a second time a couple of years ago, when she miscarried again and had to get a dilation and curettage procedure.
She told Vogue that she has been thinking about how difficult it would have been for her had her options been limited.
"I remember a million times thinking about it while I was pregnant. Thinking about the things that were happening to my body. And I had a great pregnancy. I had a very fortunate pregnancy," Lawrence told Vogue."But every single second of my life was different. And it would occur to me sometimes: What if I was forced to do this?"
Kentucky, where Lawrence grew up, is one of 13 states that had "trigger laws" in place to restrict abortion access following the overturning of Roe v. Wade.
In midterm elections in November, Kentuckians will have the chance to vote on a constitutional amendment, which, if passed, would state there is not a constitutional right to abortion in the state, WFPL reported.
She told Vogue that she tries to be forgiving of her Republican relatives.
"I'm sorry I'm just unleashing, but I can't fuck with people who aren't political anymore," she told Vogue. "You live in the United States of America. You have to be political. It's too dire. Politics are killing people."
