If they are growing 70% of the poinsettias in the country, then it is a pretty good bet that anybody who buys them is contributing to the culture of death.

Planned Death-hood. Now in power in the House and Senate.

Thanks for letting us know.

Oh great... this is worse than Planned Parenthood's mother's day cards.

Several years ago, we bought potted "silk flowers" that look so life-like as to defy belief. You store them under plastic and take them out each Christmas. That is how I'd handle this. Most large hobby stores carry them by the thousands.

ell, because this company's products end up in many churches across the nation, this would be an ideal, IDEAL, opportunity for an effective boycott.

It's also highly stupid of the company, from a business perspective...what were they thinking??

Poinsettias grow naturally in Mexico. It is not like California is sole source.

I got an email back from them, saying this:

"Thank you for contacting us. In response to your comment below, the Paul Ecke Ranch does not fund or contribute to any organization such as you describe (pro abortion). In fact, contributions by the Ecke Ranch are generally limited to organizations that support research, development and promotion of flowers, or our floriculture industry in general. Examples include: The Society of American Florists and Ohio Florist Association. We hope this provides more clarity to your question."

They could be lying of course.

Pray for an end to abortion and the conversion of America to a mindset of life!

Good to know. Forget poinsettas from now on.

Amazing how these people are so in darkness that they think they are doing good work by promoting slaughter of the unborn.

Eckes will continue to profit off of the poinsettias being produced by Armstrong Gardens, because the Ecke name will still be used

Family matriarch Jinx Ecke was once again listed on the 2007 San Diego County Planned Parenthood President’s Council. The Council list was included on a flyer for Planned Parenthood’s annual “education” fund luncheon benefit.

The Catholic Churches always decorate with them at Christmas time. I wonder if they are buying theirs from these people. If so, they ought to stop. Better to have no poinsettias than funding for the most evil organization in America.

[Salvation]

No poinsettias this year for me.

[Salvation]

BTTT — Buy a Christmas cactus from a local grower.

Boycott the poinsettias.
