I think that I am the last one to have found out but it seems that Starbucks supports Planned Parenthood so it is time for me to say goodbye to that coffee shop, which I probably visited three or four times a year. They won't miss me, and I won't miss them.
"...How does Starbucks fund Planned Parenthood? The answer appears to be through matching grants for donations employees make to the abortion business...."

Why should it be difficult to boycott those companies listed above?
Are there no alternatives to turn to?
Is there anything on the list that we can not do without?
Stopping the slaughter and butchering of the unborn isn't worth it if it inconveniences us a little? -

That's just the short list. In order to boycott these companies you will need to take an electronic device with you every time you shop and cross reference each item.
You also need to check your financial portfolio and make sure none of these companies are included in your portfolio (even mutual funds, etc). -
Consumer-driven boycotts rarely work.

Starbucks is one of the last places they still speak Engish.

Very good, Matt. Carry another person's argument to an extreme so that you may declare it as ridiculous.
If I may do the same with yours...
Matt's right. It's hopeless we should all just send a contribution to Planned Parenthood. -

A lot of boycotting to do. -
-
Those who are against boycotting Planned Parenthood and are against cutting taxpayer funding of same..
Could look into collecting some baby parts on their own to send in as a show of their support. -
I'm not against boycotting...in fact I have never visited a Planned Parenthood location and never will.
As for boycotting companies that give to them, I don't have anything against people that do (or try to). I just think it is impracticable.
You would also need to boycott any company that gives to United Way, since United Way distributes to Planned Parenthood. This now means you need to boycott practically every corporation in America.
I am against cutting funding to Planned Parenthood.
