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."

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.

Those friends are about as much conservatives as Mitt Romney and John Roberts.
Jackson is a “celebrity spokesperson” for Capital One, yet feels comfortable insulting (at minimum) half the country for being anti-abortion.
Mike Lindell, conversely, by virtue of simply supporting a former president of the U.S., has been cancelled for his views by countless retail outlets nationwide.
I won’t hold my breath waiting for Capital One to cancel Samuel L. Jackson.
You can try Walmart.com, but Amazon has really gotten too big to boycott. Since it is often nothing more than a front-end web store for smaller retailers, boycotts aren't likely to be effective. You probably hurt their internal Leftist hierarchy more by using it - and posting conservative book reviews. :)
Support your local businesses or they will cease to exist, then you’ll be stuck having to buy from woke companies online.
I can’t argue with that.
I am not talking about church hierarchy I guess the RC INC to which you refer
It’s times like these when people have to hang on to catechesis and definitely not institutions like the ussc, and the church hierarchy, but That’s something out of second grade catechism as well
The SC decision was announced on the day of a a huge solemnity in the Church.
Stockholders of the woke companies should sue them for fiduciary irresponsibility if they pay for employees’ abortion vacations.
“ So many corporations seem to support this left-leaning, globalist agenda.
In past centuries, governments were responsible for millions of deaths, including over 100 million in the 20th Century.
It is my belief that in this century, large corporations will be responsible for tens of millions of deaths.”
If I remember correctly, Mussolini’s vision of fascism was one where government and corporations worked together to gain control of everything. Government, once in control, would then ladle out all the goodies to their corporate allies while destroying their uncooperative competition. Looks kind of like what we’re witnessing currently.
“I still don’t understand alienating half of one’s customer base.”
The problem is that the coastal elites who run these giant companies generally don’t really know anyone who’s conservative and pro-life. They can’t even imagine that such viewpoints exist outside of the sort of backwoods “bitter clingers” of whom Barack Obama railed against all those years ago. For them, at this point, it’s a no-brainer to be on the pro-abortion side because they can’t imagine that the pro-life people are any sort of significant group of customers whom they should worry about alienating. It’s our job on the pro-life side to go out of our way to try to make our unhappiness with them known by taking our business elsewhere. In some areas, that’s going to hard. In, say, the tech field, if both Apple and Google are pro-abortion, well, where do you turn for a smartphone operating system if they’re >99% of that market? But in other areas, it’ll be easy. No one needs Starbucks coffee. I can get a cup of joe practically anywhere or make my own at home.
Like Disney the Evil Witch. Sending her little female Mexican flying monkeys to Glastonbury (A copycat Woodstock for Limeys) to attack the SCOTUS. Disney makes me puke.
Amazon isn’t that bad, all things considered.
I use Amazon Smile and have .5% of every purchase go to the charity of my choice, in my case Gun Owners of America.
I cannot count how many holsters I have bought on Amazon either.
Amazon may be way off on the abortion issue, but all things considered they are 1000% better than most other companies.
The RATs only care about women’s rights when it’s about murder. Men playing like they are women—no problem.
Maria Shriver, yeah, your family had a family member lobotomized and hidden away because she was an embarrassment to your clan family. Your family member left a woman to die in a car in water. Your family doesn’t value human life.
Yes. Every Democrat friend (yes they are friends- good friends that are respectful to me and our differences) believe in pro choice and they never had abortions.
I do have a family member on husbands side who had 4 abortions and ended up getting married, had 3 children and one is down’s syndrome. He is an adult and she loves him dearly and he lives with her and her 2nd husband (not his child).
Or men competing in women’s sports and robbing them of rightful wins?
No big deal.
“Guilty” only of Amazon.
Microsoft was the choice of my brokerage—which I’ll change this coming week...
Yup,
The issue is never the issue,
The Issue is the Revolution!
There was a time when the consulting company who employs me assisted and paid for special fertilizations and even adoption for families. I have not checked our plans in awhile, but I bet on Monday there will be a company wide email going out to pay for abortion tourism.
I switched to Pepsi. Will only buy it if I do not have other options.
Add KGB Russia to that list
Hey there :)
I was getting my vitamins, minerals, supplements from Amazon. But for the last two years I get most everything like that from Swanson, mostly their house brand. I like their prices.
