Actress Mila Kunis is admitting she didn't know there was an "opposing side" to Planned Parenthood until pro-lifers made donations in her name.
On July 30, Kunis spoke on the WTF with Marc Maron podcast. While news outlets foused on her opinion of President Trump, she also commented on Planned Parenthood. She admitted she was “impressed” by pro-lifers, but agreed they were “spiteful” – even though she didn’t know they existed until last year.
At the beginning of the interview, Kunis revealed that she once had a “blow-up” with a relative of her husband, actor Ashton Kutcher, about President Trump and “women’s rights.”
She remembered this person as saying, “He’s not going to do anything against women’s rights,” while she responded, “No, but he is. Like, these are the things that will happen if he wins.”
That led host Maron to ask Kunis more about her stance on the issue, and, in particular, her donations to Planned Parenthood. She publicized those donations last year, when she told late-night host Conan O'Brien about her “protest” against Vice President Mike Pence.
“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 re-occurring donations that are made in his name to Planned Parenthood,” she said to applause on Conan. “Every month to his office, he gets a little letter that says like, an anonymous donation has been made in your name.”
She confirmed to Maron that she’s still donating to Planned Parenthood, the nation’s largest abortion provider.
“It’s not that big of a deal,” she said of her comments on Conan. “I thought it was a funny joke. I was going to always donate to Planned Parenthood anyways.”
But then she admitted that “some people didn’t find it funny” – and responded by donating to presumably pro-life causes in her name.
“So there’s an address that was listed online that’s not necessarily my personal address, but it’s listed as if it’s my personal address,” she said. “So then people started giving donations to the opposing side, which I didn’t even know that there was one. Okay, I don’t want to promote it, whatever it is.”
Among others, Kunis may have referred to pro-life group Susan B. Anthony List, which received nearly $300,000 after her appearance on Conan.
Kunis stressed that “thousands of envelopes daily would come.”
“In return, I was like, at least I’m proud of people for putting their money where their mouth is,” she said in response. “So like, okay, donate to your cause. If you really want this one thing to succeed, go ahead. I’m not mad at it. I was, you know, actually pretty impressed with people trying to like get one on top of me.”
Maron, who also donates to Planned Parenthood, concluded that, “That side is really good a spiteful, grassroot organizing.”
While laughing, Kunis agreed. “Well, yeah, exactly. Yes, as we all know.”
What a dumbis Kunis
Sometimes people use the “Mila Who?” response to imply that it’s beneath their dignity to watch that things you watch, in order to know the things you know.
see it all the time getting old. It also indicates they may not have been awake the last 10 years
Great comments when she’s got a new movie. I pray people boycott her dumb ass.
“Watch “The Ranch” on Netflix.”
I was watching it, but in the last season they went all Michael Moore on me.
The point she’s arguing about women losing rights or whatever, is so full of irony coming from an actress. In her industry women largely got their jobs by sleeping with an executive. Pres Trump, who has hired many women to high executive positions, did so based on their resume. The broad is embarrassingly stupid. I’m sad & scared she’s raising at least one daughter.
Basically a very average looking girl pushed on America because she was willing to be a lesbian in a movie (and probably a good ‘friend’ to many Harvey Weinsteins). Wouldn't notice her without loads of make up and perfect settings and photography/
Can’t believe that show’s still on.
Curious too that she is from Ukraine and Ukrainian people are very pro life.
I stopped gettin any emotion about athletes, or actors talking about stuff they don’t know about.
There was another story today about Jim Brown. At 82, he isn’t not really relevant. The same with Mila.
Their opinions mean less to me than the folks I manage at work. And their opinions—though I respect them individually—mean nothing to me.
We need to stop elevating these “celebrities” beyond the status of “person.”
That comment may seem factual, but it is not even close to the truth. You might either want to learn a bit more about her situation and the timeline. Because the events you mention are literally decades apart.
Me neither, actually never heard of her.
Please elaborate.
Marc Maron has a hit show (Glow). Why would he want to alienate half his audience? Nobody cares about their political views.
The sad part about this silly little fool is that Margaret Sanger was targeting (along with Blacks) Eastern European Jews like Mila Kunis for extermination via “birth control.”
drank the coolaid handed out by leftists
the shits are tying to do this brainwash to every schoolkid
Film critic pauline kael didnt know anyone who voted for Nixon.
It’s not planned parenthood that anyone objects to.
It’s the planned infanticide that riles us up.
