Dave Bautista is so furious over Roe V. Wade being overturned ... he's now begging men to get off their asses and speak up about women's rights, clearly believing it'll help avoid similar situations in the future.
"Every f**ing man needs to be louder about the rights of women," the former WWE champion said.
The "Guardians of the Galaxy" star made the urging at The Henry out in L.A. earlier this week ... just days after the U.S. Supreme Court reversed Roe V. Wade, the 50-year-old precedent that legalized abortion nationwide.
Bautista was very obviously still PO'ed over the decision ... and said flat-out that men should be doing and saying more to make sure women are not marginalized.
"[They should be] speaking out," he said. "Be f***ing loud."

This is not the first time the 53-year-old has taken a strong pro-abortion rights stance ... back in 2021, he said in a tweet if you disagree with him, he's "not open to discussion about" it.
"#HerBodyHerChoice," he wrote alongside a picture of him in a Her Body Her Choice t-shirt. "#WomensRights."

Security at the Capitol was beefed up to address any civil unrest, according to sources within the Capitol Police. The way they see it -- anytime there are crowds of people on opposing sides, it's a recipe for potential violence.

Jeremy Giambi Struck In Head By Baseball 6 Months Before Death ... ME Report Reveals
-
Exclusive
- 820 shares
A serious head injury caused by a freak baseball accident changed Jeremy Giambi's demeanor in the six months leading up to his death, a new medical examiner's report reveals.
According to the documents, obtained by TMZ Sports on Thursday, the ex-MLB player was struck in the head by a baseball while working as a pitching coach in August 2021.
The accident caused a serious injury -- investigators say he suffered a fractured zygomatic bone, and required surgery to fix the issue.
But, according to the report, witnesses told them that in his recovery from the injury, Giambi became "very emotional, very negative and would let the smallest things ruin his day."
Another witness, according to the docs, had described Giambi as "very emotional, depressed, and paranoid" in the months following the surgery. It was noted Giambi "had scans done and saw a neurologist but was not diagnosed with anything."
Giambi -- the brother of ex-MLB star Jason Giambi -- killed himself roughly six months after the injury on Feb. 9 at his parents' home in Claremont, Calif. Officials said he left a suicide note at the scene.
Investigators wrote in the docs that Jeremy had a past history of drug use, but he was not believed to be abusing any drugs in the months prior to his death. Lab results show he had no alcohol or drugs in his system at the time of his passing.
Jeremy -- who played six years in the MLB and gained national fame for his time as an Oakland A -- was just 47 years old.
If you or someone you know is struggling with depression or thoughts of suicide, call the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 1-800-273-8255.

Jeff Bezos could easily buy all of Disneyland for a day, but instead took mercy on us normies, and simply visited the park for a day with his GF Lauren Sanchez ... but still had a VIP experience.
The couple strolled through the Happiest Place on Earth, and its sister park, California Adventure, Wednesday -- with bodyguards in tow, naturally -- and hit up the classic rides, and some new ones too.
They seemed to enjoy themselves on the Jungle Cruise, Incredicoaster and Grizzly River Run -- they didn't shy away from getting soaked either.
Interestingly, Bezos flew solo on the legendary Space Mountain coaster -- riding without Lauren, or anyone else for that matter!
Maybe LS ain't such a fan of roller coasters? Or space?
The multi-billionaire can't have been too impressed, though ... as you know, he's been to actual space aboard his Blue Origin capsule. He went up with 3 other passengers last July.
Lauren hasn't been up yet, but hey ... the guy took her to Disneyland! That's gotta count for something.

As we reported, Justice Jackson was confirmed to serve on the highest court in April ... replacing retiring Justice Stephen Breyer, who was nominated by former President Bill Clinton in 1994.
Senate Republicans Mitt Romney, Susan Collins, and Lisa Murkowski joined every Senate Democrat in voting to confirm. During her speech on the South Lawn, she said, "It took just one generation to go from segregation to the Supreme Court of the United States."
She was certainly put through the wringer while being questioned on Capitol Hill during her confirmation hearing, with jaw-dropping moments coming from Senator Lindsey Graham.
From questions like "On a scale of 1 to 10, how faithful would you say you are?" to getting grilled over alleged leniency in child pornography cases ... she kept her head held high as the days went on.
Justice Jackson got emotional when Sen. Cory Booker lauded her record as a jurist and promised "God has got you" heading into her confirmation vote.
Of course, she's entered at a troublesome time for America -- the entire country is still feeling the effects of SCOTUS' ruling to overturn of Roe V. Wade, doing what many believed was erasing half a century of progress.

Howard Stern Leaks Marvel Role on Hot Mic ... 'I'm F***ing Miserable!!!'
A big-time "oops" for Howard Stern -- or one of his staffers -- has Marvel fans buzzing, because he accidentally let it slip he's shooting a movie ... but he doesn't sound too hyped about it.
Howard spilled the tea during a break on his SiriusXM show, apparently not realizing his microphone was still hot, he chatted with his producer Gary Dell'Abate about possible guests for the show ... and noted they won't be able to talk much in the summer.
Co-host Robin Quivers asked if that meant he was working this summer, and Howard replied, "Well, I'm gonna do 'Doctor Doom.'" He admits he's less than thrilled, though, saying ... "But believe me, I'm f***ing miserable about it."
Howard says he's already hit up MCU-vet Robert Downey Jr. for some acting tips -- he even asks Gary to put him in touch with "Iron Man" director Jon Favreau for more help.
Marvel has yet to announce a 'Doctor Doom' project, and it's unclear if this will be a standalone film or a Disney+ series about the character. The MCU rumor mill suggests Howard won't be playing the role of the "Fantastic Four" villain, but instead a version of himself within the universe.

Ghislaine Maxwell Must Stay Away From Kids ... After Serving Prison Sentence

Exclusive
- 871 shares
Ghislaine Maxwell can't go anywhere near kids after she serves her prison sentence in the Jeffrey Epstein sex trafficking case ... at least for the 5 years she's on supervised release.
According to new legal docs obtained by TMZ, Maxwell's supervised release calls for some pretty serious restrictions once she's out from behind bars in about 20 years, with a heavy emphasis on keeping her away from minors.
Maxwell can't have any deliberate contact with anyone under the age of 18, unless she gets prior approval from the U.S. Probation Office ... and she can't loiter within 100 feet of places regularly frequented by minors, such as schoolyards, playgrounds and arcades.
In addition, Maxwell can't view and/or access any web profile of a user under the age of 18 ... social networking sites, chat rooms, community portals, etc. ... unless she secures prior approval from her probation officer.
The guardrails are in place for a reason ... Maxwell was found guilty by a New York jury on 5 of the 6 counts she faced in her sex trafficking trial, including a conviction on one count of sex trafficking a minor.
Remember ... Maxwell stood accused of soliciting and grooming minors for abuse and sex crimes at the hands of Epstein between 1994 and 2004, with 4 women testifying during her trial Maxwell sometimes even joined in on the abuse.
60-year-old Maxwell was sentenced to 20 years behind bars, plus 5 years of supervised release once she's out ... and she will enter a sex-offender treatment program once she's back in society.
