Why in the world do they need more money?
They already get at least 1 MILLION DOLLARS everyday from the taxpayers and now under Obamacare even more!!!
And keep in mind, they are REALLY ONLY ABOUT ABORTION, not providing REAL medical treatment to women, they charge from $250 to $2,500 per abortion depending on the size of the baby!!! They kill more babies than any other abortion business.
These companies are complicite in the killling, and I personally will not have anything to do with the companies on that list and I pray they will have a conversion before they die…..otherwise, I fear for their eternal life.
To promote abortion not only in the USA but throughout the world.
Abortion is BIG BUSINESS.
If anyone does business (or banking) with any of those listed, contact them and tell them of your displeasure, and if they continue to support the killing of unborn babies that you intend to take your business elsewhere.

Year 2012 over $540 million from federal and state funds to Planned Parenthood not including local fund raisers and over 340,000 abortions performed.
Elizabeth – I honestly hope you don’t buy into the notion that PP is all about abortion. It is true, they do perform abortions, and whatever steps folks feel they ought to take to cut funding for abortion is ok by me. But I think we need to be honest that many women get health services intended at preventing abortion, and also those services related to giving care to women. I think by saying that they are all about abortion harms women in ways that might not be helpful to either the pro abortion side or the anti abortion side.
You are not a Catholic. The “Catholic Church” does not believe in abortion, nor would the Church promote PP.
WIth all due respect, mg, you are not the one who gets to define who is Catholic.
YFC, when you say that PP provides “health services INTENDED at preventing abortion”, are you referring to those cancer causing hormones they hand out to sexually active women that sometimes “UNINTENTIONALLY” abort young human beings before they can implant in their mothers wombs and other times after succeeding in implanting in their mother’s wombs become the “UNINTENTIONAL” reason for abortion?
I am referring to all kinds of health care, including cancer screenings and prenatal care. But if you want to twist my words, Tracy, I wouldn’t be surprised. It is your MO after all.
With all due respect ‘Your fellow Catholic’ do you not know that Margaret Sanger was the foundress of Planned Parenthood, and her main goal was to get rid of people who were not blond and blue eyed! She was a fan of Hitler, big time! And this ‘business’ continues to this day. Where do they open their ‘business’……9 times out of 10 in ‘minority’ parts of a city or town.
And as far as ‘health services’ go….only recently was the cat let out of the bag that they have NEVER had a mammogram machine in ANY of their ‘clinics’.
It is all a rouse to get the women in their for so called ‘health services’ be really concerned and so nice to them, and then when this same women’s daughter, niece or friend gets pregnant, the Mom, Aunt or friend say…Oh you have to go to Planned Parenthood to get an abortion, THEY ARE SO NICE AND THEY WILL HELP YOU!!!!! Yeah. Kill your baby.
And as I said in my first post that is where they make tons of money, of course with the help of the taxpayers (you and I) 1 Million dollars a day and now more with Obamacare.
Think about what I said Your Fellow Catholic and may the Holy Spirit enlighten you and guide you.
You are partly correct Elizabeth (https://www.snopes.com/politics/medical/mammograms.asp), and I welcome the guidance of the Holy Spirit in all I do and say.
Absolutely amazing and sad that so many companies have signed on with PP. I suggest we avoid doing business with these companies as much as possible…and let them know why!
This is where the idolotry of the market – to paraphrase Pope Francis – predictably leads us. Does it surprise anyone that these soulless corporations support exactly what they have supported over the last century or more?
As for boycotting this laundry list of corporations, good luck with that. For they do – in the words of Pius XI – “regulate the flow, so to speak, of the life-blood whereby the entire economic system lives, and have so firmly in their grasp the soul, as it were, of economic life that no one can breathe against their will.”
I believe Washington Mutual (as a bank) no longer exists, as it was taken over by Chase Bank. Anyway, it is almost impossible not to do business with some of these corporations. Many of the credit cards we use are issued by the banks that were named. Often times the food we purchase, even if it has a generic name, was processed by one of the companies named. The same thing is true with gas and telecommunication firms. For a boycott to succeed, it would have to be endorsed by millions of people for it to be effective, and the people would have to have more stamina than the companies they are boycotting. Most corporate America is afraid of being sued, so they are extra careful that planned parenthood, and other liberal causes will not get upset. Just today, it was announced that Ford will be sued for something that happened in South Africa several years ago. It is a very noble cause to go after the liberal, anti-God and pro death crowd, but since most Christians are NOT united in this front, perhaps prayer and fasting would be the best method.
Much of the evils come in through the push for “Corporate Social Responsibility” in which companies are either coerced, intimidated, or forced to address in a politically correct way abortion, homosexuality, false diversity, free immigration, etc. Anyone who fails to heel to the agenda is confronted by the government, special interest groups with threats, boycotts, and derision. One notable exception has been Exxon Mobil who would not grant homosexuals spousal rights.
This is another example of the prevailing national culture “forcing” corporations and other organizations into submission. All large companies have foundations or other organizations that distribute money to “worthy causes.” That includes matching gifts of its employees to schools, charities, etc. PP is generally included because very few companies want to take on the abortion issue. It is likely that 51% of the workforce is female. The managers in the company are increasingly women. There are women on the board of directors. Corporate management is not going to take on that group of people, most of whom believe that abortion is a right and should be available on demand. In addition, most corporations are not willing to take on their customers, the majority of whom are women. Write the letters, the least we could do. But don’t expect too many responses.
This kind of complicity with the barbarism of abortion is also a problem many institutions that are suppossed to be on our side. The say they are prolife but they cooperate with the so-called pro-choice mindset! Bishops and others who have a number of employees had better check to see if they are cooperating with pro-choicers either out of ignorance or political correctness, i.e., being careful not to offend anyone!
The so called “Campaign for Human Development” is a “Catholic” agency with his hands thick with the blood of the Innocent Unborn. Yet our “bishops” with a few, very few exceptions, support their annual thievery through their annual “collections”!
May God have mercy on an amoral Amerika!
Viva Cristo Rey!
Yours in Their Hearts,
Kenneth M. Fisher
A boycott is not the only response that will bring about good.Just to reduce,to whatever degree possible, complicity with the known anti-life actors is a good thing. Of course the effect may seem meaningless, but it will be for each of us an exercise in ‘prayer in action’ and just might make a small but real change–a few pennies less for abortions– that will do good somehow. remember the mustard seed. This is part of what hope is about. When the right to sbortiuon was established at a constitutional level, all looked hopeless for any change, ever. that was the intention of pegging it out of reach. But look how much has changed and is changing in that regard.
That a Catholic is willing to promote the notion that these powerful corporations are being “forced” to support abortion by the pressures of some community-organizer, beatnik types is painfully, jaw-droppingly, depressing.
Brian S, we are not talking about community-organizer, beatnik types. We are talking about people with master’s degrees, corporate executives, boards of directors, etc.; highly educated people and highly placed people. I have been there, and I can tell you that at these levels they will find a way to have you terminated if you don’t support the popular cultural rules. A big corporation’s management will not risk having a highly placed employee say anything against PP, same-sex marriage, etc. They don’t want the bad publicity or the law suits.
Correction accepted, Bob One. I wrote in haste.
But while I don’t disagree with you, as far as you go, I believe the situation with these companies is much worse than their adherence to the cultural mindset. These companies powerfully shape and have long shaped the cultural mindset into what it is today.
This is institutionalized evil pure and simple. Anyone who cares enough to consider what’s coming go to tldm.com and read Hellstorm.
