Maya Hawke Says She ‘Wouldn’t Exist’ If Not for Her Mom Uma Thurman’s Decision to Get an Abortion

Maya Hawke is speaking out about abortion rights.

During an appearance on The Tonight Show on Tuesday night (June 28), the Stranger Things actress shared her thoughts on the Supreme Court’s decision to overturn Roe v. Wade and noted that she “wouldn’t exist” if not for her mom Uma Thurman’s decision to have an abortion.

Maya began by bringing up the “beautiful essay” her mother wrote in September 2021, in which she discussed the abortion she’d had in her late teens.

She noted that she wouldn’t exist if Uma had made a decision to keep the baby, adding: “Both of my parents’ lives would’ve been totally derailed if she hadn’t had access to safe and legal health care — fundamental health care.”

The 23-year-old actress went on to say that “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.”

“And I just wanted to say that, like, f–k the Supreme Court,” she concluded as the audience cheered.

Host Jimmy Fallon gave her permission to curse out the Supreme Court, at which point Maya replied, “I can say, ‘F–k the Supreme Court’? Oh, f–k the Supreme Court. Yeah, rock on.”
