Jessica Chastain took to Twitter to celebrate Independence Day on the 4th of July. And in the post, she shared a photo of herself flicking off the camera. And it was captioned, “Happy ‘Independence’ Day from me and my reproductive rights.”

This was in opposition to the decision of the US supreme court to ban abortion.

Jessica Chastain was backed by Vincent D’Onofrio, who tweeted, “I can take Jessica’s back on this.”

The actress has also shared how she feels about the decision in another recent Twitter post. In that tweet, she shared a video of her speech which advocated the need for planned parenthood. The tweet said, “Planned Parenthood is an incredible organization that provides women with the opportunity — the equal opportunity of that of her male counterparts of having jurisdiction over her life, her body, and her health. And the knowledge to make necessary personal choices.”

In another interview held after the overturning of Roe v. Wade, she also said,

“I think we need to remind each other what history used to look like for women because it does feel like that has been forgotten. In some sense, we’ve taken for granted this idea, [of] being able to live a life free of violence and someone else making decisions about your welfare, your safety… This idea of reminding us what it is like when one group loses their rights – it’s a trickle-down effect. It affects everyone, and so I think the stories I start looking at will have to deal with that.”
