J.Law on what Planned Parenthood means to her, Prince George attends his first day of school and more of today’s news.
Jennifer Lawrence Is A Staunch Supporter Of Planned Parenthood
For her February cover issue, the actress tells Glamour what Planned Parenthood has meant to her:
"Planned Parenthood is so much more [than abortion]. My mom was really religious with me when I was young. She’s not so much anymore. And I wouldn’t have been able to get birth control if it weren’t for Planned P. I wouldn't have been able to get condoms and birth control and all these things I needed as a normal teenager who was growing up in a Jesus house." She further vocalized her support for the organization, saying "But seriously. What harm comes from supplying people with birth control, condoms, Pap smears, and cancer screenings?"

You (don't) got it, dude: As news has surfaced that Ashley and Mary-Kate Olsen will not be returning for the reprise Fuller House , Uncle Jesse seemed to have a logical workaround for Michelle Tanner's character.
