'Orange Is The New Black' Actress Natasha Lyonne Goes On Rambling Rant About "Death Toll" Under Trump And Abortions For 12 Year-Olds
Natasha Lyonne, who played Nicky Nichols in Netflix’s Orange is the New Black, went on a bizarre and rambling rant about the death “death toll” under President Donald Trump and the lack of 12 year-olds being able to get abortions on the red carpet for Spirit Awards.
Speaking with The Hollywood Reporter, Lyonne commented, “It’s very weird to have a show biz guy in charge. [It’s] surreal because-. Well, I’m actually pretty horrified by how strategic and effective this whole thing has been. And I think there’s a real disconnect in all of the noise around the individuals that are going to be really taking the hits on a human basis in the trans community, gay community, black community, women.”
“I hate violence so much,” she continued. “I just think it’s-. That’s the part of it. This country’s always had, you know, insanity, but to really have a death toll and be willing to do that is really a pill too great for me to swallow like beyond the sort of dialectic around oligarchs and whatever else.”
“Like when I think of the kids or the 12 year-old girl that can’t get an abortion or something that’s what really rips me apart,” she concluded. “‘This is America’ to quote Childish Gambino, Donald Glover. It’s nothing we didn’t know, but always a horror to see upfront. I don’t know.”

Ironically in 2016, Lyonne posted to X that she did not want to speak about Donald Trump anymore.
Nevertheless, she would still post about him in ensuing years. In 2018, she wrote, “In the Trump Administration, Science is Unwelcome. So is Advice. Full title Idiocracy.”
In 2020, she was part of a campaign to try and turn Texas blue noting if that happened “Trump is through.”

I hate to tell the airheaded actress, but 12 year old girls shouldn't be having sex, much less abortions. If a 12 year old is raped, that's covered.
I also hate to tell her, but there is no trans community, since Trans isn't real. All it is men and women with mental illnesses that don't get treated.
Maybe Hollywood falling off into the ocean wouldn't be a bad thing at all.
I just saw a 13 yr getting an ultrasound at an imaging place two days ago. She looked depressed and miserable. I am in a red state. She should have options but doesn’t . If you don’t support abortions don’t get them. This world would be a lot better if people didn’t force their religious beliefs on others and minded their own business.
