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."

That’s Jennifer Lawrence.
Ho hum. Illiterate junk.
Hmmm. The series of movies that made her a blockbuster star is coming to a close.
Tick tock, Jennifer. Your 15 minutes are quickly running out.
Bottom line, the right to butcher babies is what Jenny wants.
You sure? It doesn’t look like her pictures in IMDB.
A freeper said she was Conservative on another thread where lawrence hinted support of wacko lefties.
Glad I never paid to see a hunger games movie;)
Hey Jennifer if you bend over and hike up your skirt Bill Clinton, a liberal icon, will teach you all about “reproduction”.
A little girl whose claim to fame is shooting an arrow in a movie is going to lecture me, on my political beliefs?????
HAH!
I hope that Freeper reveals why she thought what she did back then on this thread.
She spouts the Hollywood Party Line to a T. No dissent is allowed.
I posted an article about Lawrence and got over 200 posts back. My purpose was to see how long it would take the Hollywood lefties to take a good Ky girl with common sense and a good sense of humor down to their level.
That was a couple of years ago. Her dad is a preacher and her family has a good name in the area. I doubt she believes this stuff she is repeating.
“If you wish to communicate with the younger generation, you need to understand them. I can assure you, you do not.”
How on earth can you say I do not understand the younger generation?
I do not recall meeting you-—ever.

She is better known as Face-Shot Lawrence. Why she thinks her thoughts on anything matter is being me. Maybe her agent is giving her bad advice. Maybe she is simply a slut.
sell her to the arab slavers or something like that....
This Jennifer Lawrence person isn’t worthy to be mentioned in the same sentence as Audrey Hepburn. Ms. Hepburn was beautiful, classy & intelligent. From what I’ve recently learned about Jennifer, she possesses none of those attributes. I didn’t know who she was until recently, wish I still didn’t know.
My bad, even though I was mentioning them as opposites. Audrey Hepburn, as I’m sure you know, was a great human being and humanitarian in addition to her more famous on-screen career. I’m not even sure what her politics were.
I wasn’t criticizing you; I was agreeing with you:) Sorry for the confusion. Good post.
The guy she'd most likely be getting married to is too busy getting sodomized to help her preserve her beauty in posterity. "Yay" indeed.
Can anyone tell me who Jennifer Lawrence is, so I can tell if I should care about her opinion...?
