Actress Patricia Heaton often takes to social media to speak out against abortion.

But the two-time award-winning actress from the hit show "The Middle" and formerly of "Everybody Loves Raymond" is getting push back for her recent pro-life comments.

Last week Heaton tweeted support for Northwest Center, a pro-life crisis pregnancy center in Washington, D.C.

"Choose, celebrate, support Life! Thanks Northwest Center!" the post read.

She also tweeted in favor of the U.S. Supreme Court decision involving the Little Sisters of the Poor.

"Glad #SCOTUS vacated previous ruling against Little Sisters. I guess it dawned on them who the nuns' boss is!" she tweeted.

But Heaton's pro-life stance has been met with mixed reaction.

"Thank you for standing up for life," wrote Karen Ann Mahoney.

"Life is beautiful especially when everyone else mind their business and stays out of the woman's uterus! Mind your business!" @BBMJ22 responded.

In a past interview with The Blaze, Heaton voiced her belief that abortion is simply not a solution.

"I find it impossible to subscribe to a philosophy that believes that the destruction of human life is a legitimate solution to a problem that is mostly social, economic and psychological," she said.

"In reality, most women 'choose' abortion because they believe they have no other choice. Women who experience unplanned pregnancy also deserve unplanned joy," Heaton said

CBN News has not received a response to its request for an interview with Heaton.
