Patricia Heaton politics. Actress Patricia Heaton, who played Debra Barone in the smash hit “Everybody Loves Raymond,” certainly knows how that feels. She is a conservative Christian who has spoken out against embryonic stem-cell research and who is pro-life, which puts her at odds with many people in the acting industry.But recently she told a writer for the AOL blog PopEater that she doesn’t worry about it.“My feeling is all these things come from God and as long as I know I’m staying in line with Him, I don’t have to worry if there is backlash,” she said. “God will open any doors he wants to open and if He closes doors that’s fine too.”Heaton stars in the ABC hit sitcom, “The Middle,” which currently runs head-to-head against "American Idol." The most recent TV ratings show that it ranks second behind AI, and ahead of “Criminal Minds,” “Minute to Win It” and "American’s Next Top Model .”Heaton has also teamed up with her husband, David Hunt, who is a director, to produce and distribute their own comedy web series called “Versailles."
