For years Life Decisions International (LDI) has kept a close eye on Planned Parenthood, the leading abortion provider in the world. Part of LDI's effort has been to keep an updated list of companies who donate money to the abortionist chain.

LDI's "Boycott List", which can be accessed at its website ists companies such as Unilever, Johnson & Johnson, Merck & Company, Time Warner, Prudential Insurance and Wells Fargo.

LDI takes a behind-the-scenes approach to companies which support Planned Parenthood. Before a company is added to The Boycott List, corporate officials are sent information about the abortion provider and what it does, details about the boycott, and a formal request that the company cease supporting Planned Parenthood.

Those efforts have met with success. LDI claims that 116 corporations have agreed to stop funding Planned Parenthood. That has cost the abortion provider more than $35 million over the last decade.

"We have had several chief executive officers agree to stop giving to Planned Parenthood right away, which means we never had to release the names of their corporations," said LDI President Douglas R. Scott. "But many corporations need a bit of prodding before they realize the gravity of supporting the world's number-one abortion-advocacy group."

A good FIRST STEP and one that this president supports.

What would be the next step ?

To tell the truth, I have reservations about an organization that will not release their boycott list unless you pay them for it. I am happy donating regularly to a variety of pro-life organizations, but I am suspicious of any organization that sells its lists.

I have to agree. I'm 100% pro-life, and when I read the beginning of this thread, I thought, "Great, I'll know what companies to avoid!" However, if they were really interested in maximizing the effect of the boycott, wouldn't they just post their list on the website for all to see?

Something is better than nothing. In my mind abortion is murder. Since there is no will among the lawmakers (and the public) to outlaw abortion outright, the restrictive steps should continue: Continue criminalizing abortions. Continue educating the public. etc.

Your turn.

As a conservative do you believe that abortion its a state's jurisdiction ? Can the feds ban abortion in Vermont or any other radically pro-abort state ? When will the Federal government's authority be too much ?

The federal government's authority is never "roo much" when it comes to protecting innocent life.
