Mila Kunis Makes Monthly Donations to Planned Parenthood in Mike Pence's Name
Mila Kunis, Bad Moms star and casual hero, is on a one-woman mission to plant a little ire in the mailbox of Vice President Mike Pence.
ICYM2016 (lucky you): Pence, who has a hard pro-life stance, has voted to limit women’s access to birth control, among other things pertaining to reproductive rights. (Don’t even get him started on abortion: As far back as the early 1990s, he was on the board of a far-right Indiana organization that wanted abortion to be criminalized, and his track record as a governor is grim reading for pro-choice women.) He also cast the tie-breaking vote for legislation that would make it easier to strip Planned Parenthood of funding—and let’s just say he didn’t choose the side that would give the health care organization more money. Fun times. But Kunis is doing her part to stand up to Pence and his voting record, while supporting women’s health care: She told Conan O’Brien that she makes a monthly donation to Planned Parenthood in Mike Pence’s name.
“As a reminder that there are women out there in the world who may or may not agree with his platform, I put him on a list of recurring donations that are made in his name to Planned Parenthood,” she told O’Brien on his eponymous show earlier this week. “Every month, his office—he gets a little letter that says ‘an anonymous donation has been made in your name.”

Kunis explained that this is “not so much a prank as much as I disagreed with some of the stuff that Pence was doing.” We appreciate this level of both political and productive trolling. “It’s a peaceful protest,” she said.
As a reminder, you can make donations to Planned Parenthood on behalf of someone else; the organization will then send a note thanking said person for the contribution.
In a totally unrelated note, Pence’s official mailing address is: The White House, Office of the Vice President, 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, N.W., Washington, D.C. 20500.
