In One Quote, Jennifer Lawrence Sums Up Why She'll Never Be a Republican

[joeybee12]

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.

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."

4. She hits the right notes with the right tenor.

She's hitting all the right notes with the right tenor. Sometimes (not very often) youth isn't wasted, but instead used an effective tool.

Yet, some MRA idiot will still continue to pretend that "the widely beloved and respected Julie Bindel" is the only voice, the only definition, and the only form of feminism-- to better soothe their hysterics, confirm their bias, and maintain the lens they dare not remove...

13. Katniss Everdeen in the Hunger Games. If you didn't see the movie, read the book.

The book is amazingly powerful for a book that's kept in the "youth" section of the library.
