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."

And Hillary Rotten Clinton says “there, there, Jennifer, come closer and I’ll let you lick my ... Margaret Sanger award!”
A good journalist would have asked her to name the “basic women’s rights” that Republicans are so against.
And yet she wasn't embarrassed enough by the 2012 anti-gay marriage Obama to vote against him
I dont think she is very pretty..and like Judge Judy once said, beauty fades but dumb is forever
Well, the media asks these questions because they can put it out to the masses that [insert Hollywood celebrity name] is liberal. Some young people look up to these folks.
Different girl.
More of a paraphrase
Ask me if I care about this woman? What makes what she says important to the political discourse today? Let her go join Alec Baldwin et.al. and threaten to move away if things aren’t to her liking politically.
I can hardly stop yawning...
I can hardly stop yawning... What post garbage?
Ooops.
“This is the Dumb Broad that Ted Cruz absolutely Destroyed in an Interview when she confronted him.”
No, that was Ellen Page.
Not sure that does justice to the deep vacuum between her ears.
never mind the fact she wails about “income inequality” between men and woman- which is front and center in the elitist left wing hollywood community she belongs to...
He did the same thing to another Hollyweirdette, Ellen Page.
Ted must hate women! sarc//
