Happy birthday, Mike Pence! 2500 people donate to Planned Parenthood in the VP’s honor – Shareblue Media

It is likely safe to say that Mike Pence has never donated a dime to Planned Parenthood.

But a raft of recent gifts to the reproductive health organization still bear the vice presidents name.

Politico reports that over 2,500 people donated to Planned Parenthood in honor of Pences 58th birthday, in just the latest way individuals are making their voice heard, according to the group.

The call had gone out on Twitter, and supporters of reproductive freedom stepped up:

Pence has played a major role in the Trump administrations crusade against abortion rights in general, and Planned Parenthood in particular something he pointedly patted himself on the back for, basking in the applause it brought him from anti-choice religious conservatives.

In fact, one of the most dangerous things Pence brought to the Donald Trump campaign, and now to the White House, was his intense hostility to reproductive freedom and bodily autonomy.

But reproductive justice advocates and activists are not about to let Pence and the GOP destroy these basic human rights without a fight, and they are putting their money where their mouths are and Pences, too.
