Dave Bautista has called on "every f***ing man" to speak out on women’s rights after the Supreme Court voted to overturn Roe v. Wade.

Several celebrities have spoken out against last week's Supreme Court ruling, which means that abortions will no longer be viewed as a constitutional right and that each state can set its own laws on terminating pregnancies.

The Guardians of the Galaxy actor was asked by TMZ Sports about the importance of men who "look like him" being vocal in solidarity against such decisions, to which he said: "I don’t think it has anything to do with men that look like me."

"I think every f***ing man needs to be louder about the rights of women," the 53-year-old former pro-wrestler added. "Be f***ing louder"

The former WWE champion was also asked by the outlet about fellow wrestler-turned-actor stars John Cena and Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson - both of whom have been said to be less vocal about their political views.

"I can’t speak for them, but obviously they’re not super outspoken when it comes to things that might make them look... bad," he commented.

This is not the first time Bautista has taken a strong pro-abortion rights stance. Last year, he shared on social media that he was "pro-choice" and declared in a tweet that if you disagree with him, he's "not open to [discuss]" it.

"#HerBodyHerChoice," he wrote alongside a picture of him in a Her Body Her Choice t-shirt with the hashtag "#WomensRights."

Bautista has also publically championed LGBT+ rights and recently celebrated Pride month by honoring his mother Donna Raye, who is an openly gay woman.

Taking to Instagram, he wrote: "I was always proud of who my mom was because she was always proud of who she was. In your face, f*** you if you don’t like it, unapologetically loud and proud. And her son [paid] attention."

"BE LOUD, BE PROUD, BE YOU. #ProudSonOfALesbian #pride #pridemonth #lgbtq #lgbt (sic)," he concluded with a picture of him in a rainbow t-shirt carrying the slogan "Be You"
