Jamie Kennedy stars as abortion rights advocate Larry Lader in “Roe v. Wade” and says making the movie has taught him to respect women and all they have to go through. “For a woman, [abortion] has to be the most, hardest decision in a woman’s life,” the 50-year-old actor told The Post. “But it should be hard for a man as well. It’s a two-party thing but at the end of the day, the woman has to carry that to fruition.” Shot three years ago in New Orleans, the film was originally titled “1973,” focusing on the 1973 US Supreme Court decision that granted a woman’s right to abortion. Nick Loeb serves as the movie’s co-writer and co-director and also plays the lead role of Dr. Nathanson. Loeb,45, was involved in his own legal proceedings and, until recently, was locked in a heated battle with former fiancée Sofia Vergara over frozen embryos since 2013. The pair had two embryos frozen from IVF treatments but split the following year in 2014. Loeb had sought custody of the embryos to bring them to term but ultimately lost in a final blow earlier this month when Vergara,48, was granted a permanent injunction barring Loeb from bringing the embryos to term without Vergara’s “explicit written consent.
