Conservatives need to stop supporting people who hate them
American Thinker ^ | 26 Jun, 2022 | Francis P. Sempa

Look how much hatred your favorite celebrities and companies harbor for you in the wake of Dobbs v. Jackson.

In the wake of the Supreme Court's decision overturning Roe v. Wade and Casey v. Planned Parenthood, the corporate and entertainment world have joined the pro-abortion chorus in denouncing the decision, the Court, and the pro-life movement. Their reaction has been swift and predictable.

The Hollywood crowd wasted no time screeching on social media, according to Newsweek. Bette Midler wrote about the Court: "They did it. THEY DID IT TO US. ... How dare they?" She called a woman who suggested adoption as an alternative to abortion "some b---- on TV" and warned gays, "You're next." Actor Samuel L. Jackson called Justice Thomas "Uncle Clarence." Amy Schumer shared a post that said, "We shouldn't determine our rights by interpreting the intentions of a bunch of slave-owning rapists who'd been dead for a hundred years" (referencing America's Founding Fathers). Actress Lynda Carter tweeted that the Dobbs decision "is a tragedy." Maria Shriver of the "Catholic" Kennedy clan tweeted that she was "heartbroken by this decision" that "makes millions of women unsafe, unseen, unprotected," and that is a "devastating blow to women's rights." She stated that she was "pissed off" and refuses "to be silent." Actress Valerie Bertinelli took to social media to lament that "We are NOT the greatest country in the world" and condemned the "white Christian nationalists" who "run our country."

SNIP

The corporate world added its voice to the pro-abortion chorus: Disney, Meta, Microsoft, CVS Health, Netflix, Bumble, UnitedHealth. Block, Apple, Citigroup, Yelp, Amazon, Tesla, Uber, Lyft, Starbucks, Salesforce, Match, Levi's, Lush, and others decried the decision and assured their employees that they would adjust their health care plans to cover travel to other states for abortions.

This, of course, applies to public schools.

Hollywood is filled with a bunch of screeching political leftists.

The corporate world is much more pragmatic and utilitarian. They are willing to pay thousands of dollars for their female employees to get abortions because it’s much cheaper to do that than to deal with the hassle of maternity leave and pay the MANY thousands of dollars for family health coverage.

Trump’s endorsements have not helped in this area.

As of today...I don’t get my meds from CVS. And I get a lot :)

I am cancelling META...

I don’t use any of the others except Amazon...but I use it a LOT. :(

Can somebody suggest a site where one can get everyday essentials within a few days with free/cheap delivery that is not hardcore left? Thanks.

There is no walmart on Staten Island. NO I DONT KNOW HOW!!! :)

OR I could take my fat a$$ OUTSIDE and actually DRIVE to local stores :)

It’s way past time justifying using amazon.

Oh SHOOT. My healthcare plan is United and it’s really good...all the docs I need are in network...

That one will take a little while to work on...but I’ll get there.

What on earth are you talking about? But for Trump, we wouldn’t have the three Justices on the Court whose votes were decisive. We would have, at best, Harriet Myers-types.

I use Amazon and Apple, but none of the others.
It’s almost impossible to only use neutral companies anymore.
I still don’t understand alienating half of one’s customer base.
I never go to the movies, nor do I pay for them online.

“Women’s rights” is just a smokescreen.

Abortion is truly only about killing a baby who the women, or father, doesn’t want.

It's a lot cheaper for a business to pay for a plane ticket and an abortion then to put up with paying for women's maternity leave and men's paternity leave and the associated insurance costs for new family members, sick days, vacations and other absences that impede labor efficiencies. No family, lower costs for the business. It's a win-win for American business! Truly SICK!

What's to prevent businesses from counciling women and men from putting off a family thru abortion for the greater good of production and reducing carbon footprints?

That was then.

This cycle, Trump is endorsing known RINOs and Dem Lite candidates. He is refilling the swamp.

“ Catholic” Kennedy clan tweeted that she was “heartbroken by this decision” that “makes millions of women unsafe, unseen, unprotected”

Catholics know from second grade on that abortion is wrong. They know also that missing mass on Sundays is a mortal sin. They miss mass anyway. From there they drift away but they always know.

People like Maria shriver, when they say the government is no longer protecting them, they’re saying they had planned to face judgement with the us government and illegitimate laws backing them up.

People like her, like the women (and men) in my irish Catholic northeast family let go of the knowledge that God is greater than any government, that they’re not getting in on a group plan, an angry incensed mob and not by having given to the charity of their choice.

Mr. mm has discovered that he can go through eBay and go directly to actual suppliers and usually get better deals and better quality.

I think Wal Mart does delivery also, so it doesn’t matter if there’s not a store near you.

The Hollywood types pretty much have to adopt the hive mindset of the far Left to sustain their careers. Otherwise they get blacklisted.

That’s why we should not take anything they say on social media seriously. They are saying what they need to say to keep their acting and singing careers.

Do you think the majority of women who support abortion have never had one?

I do. But, it’s a guess.

I honestly have no idea.

I’m guessing more support it had one and they support it to justify themselves and try to soothe their consciences.

I do know several women, though, who have had abortions in the past and are now Christians who are tormented by it.

Why in the world don’t conservatives take a bow in regards to the tumbling stock valuations of Netflix, Disney, Hulu, Hollywood, etc? Get in front of these stories and take a bow! It’s family orientated people who are rejecting these things.
