Knives Out 2 star Dave Bautista is not happy about the Supreme Court overturning Roe v. Wade and he’s encouraging all other men to join women in speaking out against it. In the past, Bautista has been pretty open and outspoken with his beliefs. Those who follow him may already know that he’s a strong pro-choice supporter, having previously posted an image of himself in a T-shirt reading “Her Body Her Choice” and noting that he’s “not open to discussion” on the issue.
Knowing this about Bautista, a reporter approached the actor and former WWE star to get his thoughts on the Roe v. Wade fiasco. Bautista was first asked how people who “look like” him should be reacting to the situation, and to that, Bautista says that his appearance is irrelevant, noting that he wants to see every man getting involved. Per TMZ, here’s what he said:

Bautista was then asked about two other actors he used to work with in WWE, Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson and John Cena. To that, Bautista says he can’t speak for them, though he seems to even knock those two for not speaking out more in situations like this so as to avoid looking bad. But if you’re asking Bautista, he says men need to get louder and join women in fighting for their reproductive rights.
“I don’t think it has anything to do with men who look like me. I think every f***ing man needs to be louder about the rights of women.”
“I can’t speak for them, but obviously, they’re not super outspoken when it comes to things that might make them look bad to certain people. (Men should be) speaking out. Get f***ing loud.”
Celebrities Have Been Speaking Out

There has been a variety of celebrities out there criticizing what happened with Roe v. Wade. This includes men and women of varying ages and levels of celebrity status all lambasting the Supreme Court as well as political leaders for essentially allowing this to happen. Earlier this week, Stranger Things star Maya Hawke couldn’t help but drop a couple of F-bombs on national television because she was so upset about the situation.
“Of course, wealthy people will always be able to get abortions, but so many people, because of this ruling this week, will not only not be able to pursue their dreams, but actually lose their lives and be unsafe,” Hawke told Jimmy Fallon on The Tonight Show. “And I just wanted to say that, like, f*** the Supreme Court…. I can say, ‘F*** the Supreme Court’? Oh, f*** the Supreme Court. Yeah, rock on. But we’re going to keep fighting, and we’re gonna win, like our grandmothers did.”
