To be clear, here are the companies that should be on a PRO-CHOICE boycott list:
Enterprise car rentals
Forbes magazine
Ing financial services
Toys R Us
Cisco Systems
Red Lion Hotels
Franchise Services
Rolex watch
Kenneth Cole
Dr. Dennis Gross Skincare
I feel like a horse's ass and apologize to the companies I maligned. And I thank Anonymous for showing me my mistake.
By the way, the fetus fetishists who complile this list make people pay to receive it. Why?
LDI once offered The Boycott List without requesting a donation, but the policy changed when:
1) pro-Planned Parenthood people were urged to send for The Boycott List in an effort to bankrupt us--which they nearly did; and
2) we began to realize the enormous expense involved in obtaining the information needed to prepare The Boycott List.
Jeeze, people using economic tactics to express their displeasure? My, my.
Anyway, I'm letting the original post stand as a mea culpa and a reminder to self to READ.

A fetus fetishist outfit named Life Decisions International has taken them off their boycott list because they've promised not to donate to Planned Parenthood.
This is USian, of course, so some of those companies don't do business in Canada, but many do. Some, of course, have been on progressive people's boycott lists for years: Nike and Walt Disney come to mind.
Some, like Rolex and Kenneth Cole, I'll have no trouble avoiding.
And Red Lobster almost killed me once. Never been back.
I probably have bought J&J stuff, but now I won't.
But Staples???? I love Staples. I go into a trance in Staples.
Fuck. It's back to Grand and Toy, then.
One wonders of course how many of those companies have or would donate to Planned Parenthood. Or if it's just canny business not to piss off the fetus fetishists.
Oh. Wait. The campaign has had a MASSIVE effect on PP.
LDI estimates that the boycott has cost Planned Parenthood more than $40 million since the Corporate Funding Project (CFP) began nearly 18 years ago.
First, how the hell do they 'estimate' that?
Next, $40 mill over 18 years? That's $2.2 million a year. Spread over umpty-many PP clinics and projects? Not quite so MASSIVE that it can't be countered by a bunch of sane people.
As Tweeter LadyD224 says:
Antis conveniently posted list of companies that stopped donating to Planned Parenthood. Read it & boycott them!
When I get a few minutes, I'm going to write to Staples and J&J Canada to tell them why I won't be spending my dough with them.
ADDED: Here is Staples Canada email contact.
ADDED2: Here is Johnson & Johnson Canada's email contact. Didja know that J&J makes K-Y Jelly? Do the fetus fetishists know they are supporting the homosexual agenda?
