I went looking to see if AG was still supporting PP. It looks as if they may no longer be supporting the Girls, Inc. organization that caused the boycotts. If anyone has knowledge otherwise I'd like to know.

While I was looking for the info on that, much to my chagrin, I did come up with a whole other list of corporations several that I do business with regularly that also support PP. :(   Some of them I can immediately stop doing business with others could be difficult.

I noticed eBay was on the list with () around Paypal, so.......does that mean you can buy on eBay just pay by check so as to not support PP or is it eBay sales and Paypal? My head is literally spinning. Any feedback would be appreciated. The list includes 3 of my banks!

http://www.cogforlife.org/ppsupporters.htm This is a 2007 list. Some may no longer support PP like American Express.

http://www.worldnetdaily.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=456 94 Starbuck supports planned parenthood.

http://www.jillstanek.com/archives/2008/01/planned_parenth_2 7.html partial list. In the Q&A AG is addressed.

Have a blessed day!

I'm pretty sure AG got so swamped with complaints that they got out of the Girls Inc. thing as soon as they could, legally. If you run a search, I'm sure you will find more about it on the forums here. It was discussed at length, and people even posted the responses they got from AG when they emailed to complain. I remember because I had planned on buying an AG doll for my second dd that year and ended up purchasing from another company because of the boycott.

Well, that is good to know as I needed a reason to give up Starbucks! I spend way too much money there and this will make quitting them easier.

So many companies support evil causes . I think it is important to let the company know when you decide to boycott them as they know that for every letter they get that there are many more who did not bother to write a letter.

By the way, Ebay owns Paypal
