Heaton stands out from the crowd precisely because her position is so unique in the entertainment industry.<\/p>\n<p>Anyone who watches movies and television knows that Hollywood is overwhelmingly liberal. Conservatives may exist in the ranks, but they either keep silent about their views or they\u2019re relegated to small parts in indie projects. Heaton is an exception to this rule as she built a decades-long career, most notably starring as Debra Barone on the hit CBS comedy \u201cEverybody Loves Raymond\u201d opposite Ray Romano from 1996 \u2013 2005.<\/p>\n<p>It was a career-making gig that led to other opportunities and arguably made Heaton a household name.<\/p>\n<p>The 64-year-old actress did not become a television star by hiding her political views. Though Heaton does reject some core beliefs of diehard conservatives \u2014 like her stance on LGBT issues \u2014 the mom of four boys is explicitly pro-life and anti-death penalty. She grew up Catholic and frequently tweets out bible quotes to her close to half a million followers. Fans love her because she\u2019s down to earth and relatable, and isn\u2019t afraid to express her controversial views among her A-list peers.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Most recently, the former star of \u201cThe Middle\u201d made headlines for lambasting the new Disney movie, \u201cLightyear.\u201d Heaton spoke out about how fellow conservative Tim Allen, who voiced Buzz in the franchise originally, was replaced by Chris Evans.<\/p>\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Saw the trailer for Buzz Lightyear and all I can say is Disney\/Pixar made a HUGE mistake in not casting my pal <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/ofctimallen?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@ofctimallen<\/a> Tim Allen in the role that he originated, the role that he owns.

Tim IS Buzz! Why would they completely castrate this iconic, beloved character?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOk so the current Buzz Lightyear movie is an origin story \u2013 but the reason the character became so beloved is because of what @ofctimallen created. Why remove the one element that makes us want to see it? #stupidHollywooddecisions\u201d Heaton continued in a follow-up.<\/p>\n<p>It seems that Heaton isn\u2019t the only one less than thrilled with the replacement. \u201cLightyear\u201d was a veritable <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/gay-kiss-included-woke-toy-story-spinoff-lightyear-struggles-at-box-office\">box office disappointment<\/a> despite the hype, which could also have had something to do with Disney adding in a same-sex kiss that was originally cut. The company did it as a form of protest against Florida\u2019s Parental Rights in Education Bill, but doing so politicized the movie which could have turned parents off.<\/p>\n<p>As so many actresses are openly advocating for abortion following the reversal of <em>Roe v. Wade<\/em>, Heaton stands out as a vocal pro-life advocate.<\/p>\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">I don\u2019t understand why pro-life people want to know if they are \u201cwelcome\u201d to join the democrat party.

I am not a Trump supporter,\u201d she continued. \u201cLove them both.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Heaton has tweeted detailing her pro-life stance. Critics came after her for it, but the sitcom star stayed strong.<\/p>\n<p>Twitter is Heaton\u2019s preferred method of voicing her opinions with followers. In September of 2020, the actress had a message of caution for her followers ahead of Amy Coney Barrett being appointed to the Supreme Court.<\/p>\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Friends, be prepared for social media to be filled with an onslaught of arrogant pronouncements based on breathtaking ignorance of religion in general, Christianity specifically and Catholicism in particularly by people who wouldn\u2019t recognize God if He bit them on the bum.<\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Patricia Heaton (@PatriciaHeaton) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/PatriciaHeaton\/status\/1307847773581193218?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">September 21, 2020<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u201cFriends, be prepared for social media to be filled with an onslaught of arrogant pronouncements based on breathtaking ignorance of religion in general, Christianity specifically and Catholicism in particularly by people who wouldn\u2019t recognize God if He bit them on the bum,\u201d she <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/PatriciaHeaton\/status\/1307847773581193218\">wrote<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Critics feared that having Coney Barrett on the court with a conservative majority would lead to the overturning of Roe v.
