In a new Vogue feature, Academy Award-winning actress Jennifer Lawrence described the reason behind her political affiliation, including why she doesn't support the Republican Party. And the Hunger Games star's logic is simple.
"I was raised a Republican, but I just can't imagine supporting a party that doesn't support women's basic rights," Lawrence told Vogue. Many of the Republican presidential hopefuls have identified as pro-life. Some have advocated for defunding Planned Parenthood, which offers reproductive health services to women.
"It's 2015 and gay people can get married and we think that we've come so far, so, yay! But have we? I don't want to stay quiet about that stuff," Lawrence told Vogue.
In the profile, published Thursday and which will serve as Vogue's December cover story, gives readers a look inside Lawrence's mind. In the feature, penned by Jonathan Van Meter, Lawrence talks shop, dishes about her celebrity peers, ruminates on her meteoric rise from her childhood on Kentucky farms and to topping a Forbes list as the world's highest-paid actress. Lawrence also got candid about her love life — which is currently devoid of romance, she said.
One of the occasions on which Van Meter met with Lawrence happened to coincide with the day Kim Davis was released from jail, on Sept. 8. The notorious Kentucky country clerk was detained after she refused to administer marriage licenses to same-sex couples despite the Supreme Court's June vote that ultimately legalized same-sex marriage across the United States.
Lawrence said Davis was a "lady who makes me embarrassed to be from Kentucky."
"Don't even say her name in this house, all those people holding their crucifixes, which may as well be pitchforks, thinking they're fighting the good fight," Lawrence told Vogue. "I grew up in Kentucky. I know how they are."

She’s got money and lots of it now plus fawning media attention. In her eyes, a reward from a god she now serves.
Its not a matter of being shallow. Its a matter of remaining relevant.
An educated person understands what is going on around them. Dismissing current culture with a wave of the hand is not doing you any favors.
If you wish to communicate with the younger generation, you need to understand them. I can assure you, you do not.
Figures! As dumb as an ox.
The Hunger Games is a trilogy of books made into movies about a dictatorial government in what was once the United States.
So, Jennifer sweetie, you agree that it’s OK for the words “women’s health” to mean, first and foremost, KILL THE BABY?
Maceman, who IS that cutie?
I’m 36, and even I didn’t know who this bimbo is.
Another Whorlywood personality caught up in the “self importance” syndrome.
Maybe you should eat some of that makeup you wear, so you can be pretty from the inside out...

We all need the Gospel, including Ms. Lawrence
No that was Ellen Paige.
Hunger Games trilogy?
OK-What’s that?
I am totally unplugged where popular ‘culture’ is concerned. I tuned it OUT long ago
Yes, I always value and revere the opinion of a person who pretends (acting) to be another person in a movie.
She is far from a bimbo. Even the slightest search would let you know that.
Do I agree with her politics? Nope.
Do I think she is talented and smart? Absolutely. Misguided? Sure.
But, its OK to be ignorant, because it means you do not have to think. Thats OK.
I think of it as a translation.
Ignorant girl.
As if I ever expected my grandparents to know anything about the Rolling Stones when I was a teenager. I didn’t want them to. What’s more pathetic than a 65 year old today who says he listens to Rapcrap. LOL! Trying to relate to the kids that way just makes them laugh and destroys your own credibility.
I’m not ignorant, I just don’t care. I have a life outside of what happens in Hollywood.
According to JLaw, a woman’s most important right is to be able to kill little children who will become other women? And men?
Has anyone ever asked any of these genius movie stars, “Where does the right to kill the unborn come from?” “Why is it a right?”
You clearly are not interested in a discussion.
It’s not a matter of throwing yourself into their world. It is a matter of knowing that just about all of the sheep around you ARE. If you do not understand where they get their information, you can never get your point across.
Dismissing and entire part of the American culture puts you at a disadvantage.
