In One Quote, Jennifer Lawrence Sums Up Why She'll Never Be a Republican
Yahoo News ^ | November 12, 2015 | Liz Rowley

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."

Basically Got her to admits she is a mini-fascist at heart who would force people to do things they don't want to do or else!

IOW, she admitted she aspires to be President Snow.

Republicans support women’s rights from the moment they are conceived. Democrats kill over a half million women a year, in the womb.

The right of government paid birth control does not exist. The right to live to not be murdered is.

My mamma once told me, stupid is what stupid says.

Its universal, and doesn’t need to be applied to any particular political party leaning voter.

Mind you this was the same woman who posted naked selfies in the cloud, not having the slightest clue what that was, and then sat in their office and cried for 90 minutes when the FBI told her they had been hacked.

It’s a shame. We were planning to go see the Mockingjay part II movie, but now we will stay home. When will these silly Hollywood types learn?

First Ronda Rousey, now Jennifer Lawrence. Listen, Jen, I’ll tell you what I told Ronda: I don’t care how cute you are, you’re not getting anywhere with me as long as you’re spouting these stupid liberal views! No, no, don’t come crying back to me! It won’t work. Until you come to your senses, young lady, we are THROUGH!
