As governor of Indiana, Pence managed to shut down a Planned Parenthood clinic that was also the sole provider of HIV testing in Scott County—a move that many believe sparked an outbreak of the disease in the region.
Of course, donating in Pence's name means he'll also receive that many certificates of donations.
Entertainers like Best Coast, Amy Schumer and Amber Rose Tamblyn have been sharing the clever protest-donation move on social media in a post that includes Pence's official contact information.
