Jennifer Lawrence has shown her support for abortion rights.
The Silver Linings Playbook actor attended the Rally for Abortion Justice with comedian Amy Schumer, yesterday in D.C. The rally, organized by the Women’s March movement, was one of hundreds of nationwide protests, where activists protested the recent restrictive bans passed in Texas and proposed in other states.
In a pic shared on Schumer’s Instagram, the two friends posed at the start of the march in Freedom Plaza. The Trainwreck actor was dressed in a blue jumpsuit and cap while she held an “Abortion Is Essential” sign. Lawrence, who is pregnant with her first child, wore a checkered dress and a denim jacket. She held a sign that read, “Women can’t be free if they don’t control their bodies.”
“I don’t have a uterus and she is pregnant but we out here @womensmarch @plannedparenthood #rallyforabortionjustice,” Schumer captioned the pic, referring to the uterine and appendix removal surgery she underwent to treat extensive endometriosis.
