Planned Parenthood Celebrates Valentine's Day With Fundraising Campaign to 'Break' Mike Pence's Heart

Planned Parenthood Action had a unique fundraising campaign for Valentine’s Day, encouraging supporters to make donations in Vice President Mike Pence’s name to “break his heart.”

“This Valentine's Day, celebrate your loved one by making a gift to defend reproductive rights — in Mike Pence's name,” they wrote in their donation form. “Give now to join thousands of Mike Pence Heartbreakers and we'll send Pence a Valentine to let him know how much you care!”

While the group is encouraging their supporters to break Pence's heart, they stopped the beating hearts of 332,757 unborn babies in abortions over the past year, according to their latest annual report.

Planned Parenthood frequently targets the vice president in their fundraising campaigns due to his staunch opposition to abortion. During Christmas of 2017, they mocked Pence with offensive “gift ideas” such as condoms and asked for donations in his name.

The nation’s largest abortion provider started asking for donations in Pence’s name after actress Mila Kunis revealed in November of 2017 that she donates to the group in his name. Pence responded at the time by encouraging donations in his name to the pro-life advocacy group the Susan B. Anthony List.
