'Patriots it's time to donate whatever you can to the @NRA in #MilaKunis name!'

On an episode of Conan last week, actress Mila Kunis, who is an advocate for abortion rights, revealed that she’s been making monthly donations to Planned Parenthood in U.S. Vice-President Mike Pence’s name — who is staunchly pro-life.

“I disagreed with some of the stuff that Pence was doing and was trying to do, and so as a reminder that there are women out there in the world that may or may not agree with his platform, I put him on a list of reoccurring donations that are made in his name to Planned Parenthood,” Kunis said. “Every month to his office, he gets a little letter that says an anonymous donation has been made in your name. I strongly disagree, and this is my little way of showing that. It’s a peaceful protest.”

But, naturally, Pence supporters and other pro-lifers took offence, and have, in turn, decided to boycott Jim Beam, the whiskey brand Kunis is a spokesperson for, while also making donations to pro-life organizations and the NRA — in her name.

One of those organizations is the Susan B. Anthony List, which supporters began actively donating to, alerting Pence himself, who commented, “I’m honoured. Thanks for all @SBAList does for life. I’m in.”

Not that Kunis is surprised at the backlash. While on Conan, Kunis noted, “This is when a lot of hate mail comes my way. I apologize if I’m offending anybody.”
