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."

A movie actress who has won an Oscar for Silver Linings Playbook and is the lead in the Hunger Games movie series. Her IMDB listings begins in 2006 and shows 5 upcoming movies. Because of her Oscar win Hollywood considers her a A list star. Her opinions now follow the Hollywood party line.
I’d cut whoever said that a bit of slack.
Lawrence seems like a repeat of Katy Perry, who came from an evangelical family and was a Christian singer before breaking into pop. Lawrence herself says that she was raised as a Republican.
Also reminds me of Rebecca deMournay (sp?), who went hard Left after making it big in Hollywood. I’d say Angelina Jolie too, but I’ve never seen any evidence that she was Conservative (like her dad, Jon Voight) to begin with.
This is blowing up on Breitbart right now and will likely explode as the word gets out. Looks like Jen may have sabotaged her big opening next week as alienating Christians will have a material effect on Hunger Games earnings.
Too bad, I was looking forward to seeing this one in the theater.
OK so she’s anti-religious and supports killing babies in the womb - she fits right in wth the Godless Left-Wing extremists.
I suspect that's code for abortion and, perhaps, free birth control with these female liberals.
DANG!
Ms.Lawrence, STFU and try something besides movies/acting.
