Jennifer Lawrence spoke candidly about motherhood during a cover story for Vogue, revealing she’s experienced two miscarriages.

The Hunger Games actress, who gave birth to her first child earlier this year, spoke to Vogue about the recent overturning of Roe v Wade and how she had planned to get an abortion in her 20s.

However, before undergoing the procedure, Lawrence says she “had a miscarriage alone in Montreal”.

In 2019, while shooting Don’t Look Up, Lawrence fell pregnant again with husband and art gallerist Cooke Maroney before experiencing her second miscarriage.

Lawrence had to undergo a D&C procedure to surgically remove tissue from her uterus.

She says she can’t bare to imagine pregnant children and 18-year-olds being in a situation without access to support or choices.

“I remember a million times thinking about it while I was pregnant. Thinking about the things that were happening to my body,” Lawrence says.

“I had a great pregnancy. I had a very fortunate pregnancy. But every single second of my life was different. And it would occur to me sometimes: What if I was forced to do this?”

She and Maroney welcomed their first child together this February, a baby boy named Cy.

“I felt like my whole life had started over. Like, now is day one of my life. I just stared. I was just so in love,” Lawrence says.

Lawrence also called for stricter gun control to protect her child and other American children.

“I’m raising a little boy who is going to go to school one day,” Lawrence says.

“Guns are the number-one cause of death for children in the United States. And people are still voting for politicians who receive money from the NRA. It blows my mind. I mean if Sandy Hook didn’t change anything? We as a nation just went, Okay! We are allowing our children to lay down their lives for our right to a Second Amendment that was written over 200 years ago.”
