The 'Joy' star has praised the family planning service and slammed its critics for only seeing it as an abortion clinic.

She told Glamour magazine: "Planned Parenthood is so much more [than an abortion provider]. 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.

"I am a successful woman who has not had a pregnancy ... But seriously. What harm comes from supplying people with birth control, condoms, Pap smears and cancer screenings?"

Meanwhile, the 25-year-old beauty previously revealed she is "picky" when it comes to choose a potential boyfriend.

She said: "I'm picky. I feel a spark very, very rarely. And it's really only about spark for me. Not really anything else. You should see some of the people I find attractive. You'd be shocked ...

"I don't, like, date a lot. I don't meet a lot of guys who I want to go on a date with. I'll find a guy attractive maybe once a year."
