FRONT ROYAL, Va., March 17 /Christian Newswire/ -- Do you drink wine? Millions of people do, but most are unaware of the fact that many winemakers give financial support to Planned Parenthood, the world's leading pro-abortion behemoth.

"I like a glass of wine every now and then," said Thomas C. Strobhar, chairman of Life Decisions International. "I am appalled that so many winemakers fund the Culture of Death. I urge my fellow pro-life activists to let winemakers know that they have a 'choice.' They may continue to fund Planned Parenthood and lose a lot of business to competitors or they may stop funding Planned Parenthood and reap the benefits that come from happy consumers."

Whether you are a wine drinker or not, please urge winemakers to stop supporting Planned Parenthood. A recently updated list of winemakers that fund Planned Parenthood may be found on the website of Life Decisions International. (Please read the introductory text and then scroll down to the link that reads, "Wineries/Vineyards," which may be found after the list of states.) Contact information is provided for each winemaker listed. To see the list, Click Here.

Life Decisions International (LDI) is dedicated to challenging the Culture of Death, concentrating on exposing and fighting the agenda of Planned Parenthood. LDI's chief project is a boycott of corporations that fund the abortion-committing giant. To learn more about Planned Parenthood, please visit: www.fightpp.org.

I don’t know if you are wine drinker Nyer wagglebee, and Monk this is totally wrong

[Corin Stormhands]

After a couple of glasses of Cabernet I can’t read my boycott list any more...

I found Planned Parenthood’s motive:

__________________________________

ELAINE: So what you are saying is that 90 to 95 percent of the population is undateable?

JERRY: UNDATEABLE!

ELAINE: Then how are all these people getting together?

JERRY: Alcohol.

You will be surprised and maybe you won’t be surprised of the companies who support Planned Parenthood.

Whole Foods Market, JPMorgan Chase (including Chase Bank, & Bank One), Bank of America, Lost Arrow (Patagonia), Wells Fargo, Chevron (including Caltex, Xpress Lube, & Texaco), eBay (including PayPal), Carlson Companies (including Country Inns & Suites, Park Inn, Radisson Hotels, Regent Hotels, TGI Friday’s restaurants), Kenneth Cole, Nike, Midas, Marriott (including Courtyard Hotels, Fairfield Inn, Renaissance Hotels & Inns, Ritz-Carlton Hotels, etc.), Johnson & Johnson, Valero (Beacon, Ultramar, etc.), Wachovia, and Sonic (drive-in restaurants).

Maybe for Californian Vinyards? I didn’t notice any Mid-Atlantic Wineries (MD and VA), just some caterers and one dude I know with a tech company.

[Salvation]

Especially the Pelosi family?

[DTogo]

Good, I didn’t see the Gnekow Winery (Campus Oaks wines) on the list!

[big'ol_freeper]

I wonder if that includes wine coolers?

I knew I should have stuck to beer.

[ssaftler]

I wonder how many of these businesses actually give them money up front, as opposed to matching donations given by their employees.

Prime example is that one of the moonbats on my floor gave money to the local Beserkeley hippie-dippie radio station (a non-profit, of course!) and submitted for a matching donation from our employer. Doesn’t necessarily mean that my employer “supports” the dopers, but the company policy says that, since they are a legitimate non-profit (401(c)3?), they are obliged to match it, up to the annual limit per employee.

Of course, if Free Republic was a 401(c)3 non-profit, they would have to match any donations I gave as well.

Perhaps they want the abortions to be “justified” as preventing Fetal Alcohol Syndrome. I hope the wine firms suffer the consequences of this PR blunder.

[Semper Mark]

Get drunk on wine, lose your inhibitions, have sex, get pregnant, go to PP to have an abortion. See how that works together.

"I wonder how many of these businesses actually give them money up front, as opposed to matching donations given by their employees.

That's a very good point. I'm not too pleased as I own cases of wine from some of these wineries. I'm as pro-life as they come, but I'm not going to flush good wine down the toilet - that would be alcohol abuse.

[bmwcyle]

I never drink CA wine already.

[Paved Paradise]

Is this some kind of irony or what? Winemakers support Planned Parenthood???

Winemakers are probably responsible for a good number of conceptions I can guarantee you, yessirree Bob.

[JrsyJack]

Drink it first...then let them have it back.

[Tamar1973]

If the donations are relatively small in relation to their net worth, you might have a point but if the donations are large ($5k+) then something else is going on.

[gorush]

I’ll drink to that! (but it won’t be with wine.)
