WASHINGTON, D.C. -- The Corporate Funding Project (CFP) is the primary means by which Life Decisions International (LDI) challenges the funding of the world's leading pro-abortion entity. The chief component of the CFP is a boycott of corporations that fund Planned Parenthood.

LDI policy states that no company may be added to The Boycott List until its chief executive officer has been given the chance to stop funding Planned Parenthood. In order to afford business leaders such an opportunity, LDI sends a letter asking that their confirmed support of Planned Parenthood cease. Accompanying the letter is information about Planned Parenthood's agenda. The letter and information are sent to every company that has been identified as a supporter of the abortion-committing group, even when it is highly unlikely that the chief executive officer will have a change of heart and agree to stop supporting the group with corporate dollars.

Take, for example, The Portland Mercury, a weekly publication of the radical left in Portland, Oregon. William Steven Humphrey, editor of the publication, placed a photograph of LDI's letter on the front page of the weekly. He also published a response to LDI's letter in the same edition. It was titled, "Boycott Us--Please!":

[A NOTE FROM THE EDITOR: On our front cover is an unedited letter sent to us by Douglas R. Scott, president of "Life Decisions International"--a group whose sole purpose is to put Planned Parenthood out of business. Here's our response to Mr. Scott!]

DEAR MR. SCOTT: Thank you for your recent correspondence. It gladdens my heart to see people who still see the necessity in standing up for what's right. Bearing that in mind, the Portland Mercury is thrilled that Life Decisions International has chosen us to be included in your upcoming publication, The Boycott List. We have struggled long and hard to provide corporate and moral support to Planned Parenthood, and until now, it felt like no one had even noticed. But now that the Portland Mercury is featured in The Boycott List, we can shove it in the face of all those other liberal organizations, and say, "You think you love abortion? Well-- look at THIS! We reaaaaaaaalllly love abortion!"

But abortion is not the only reason we love Planned Parenthood. We love how they provide much needed health services such as safe sex counseling, gynecological exams, prenatal care, pregnancy testing, treatment for STDs and much more--all at a reasonable cost. Their services were especially helpful when your wife gave me Chlamydia, or that time I impregnated your daughter. (Wait--maybe that was some other Christian bigot's wife and daughter. Regardless, those gals love to party!) But Planned Parenthood isn't just for the promiscuous daughters and wives of hypocritical honky Anti-choice crackers. It's for any woman who believes in the American right to choose, and make responsible decisions regarding her own body.

So thank you once again for recognizing the Portland Mercury's continuing devotion and support for Planned Parenthood by including us in The Boycott List--and if it's not too late, we'd like to make one more request: Is there any way you can push us to the top of the list?

Wm. Steven Humphrey, Editor, Portland Mercury

In the next edition of the Mercury, Humphrey wrote an introduction to the letters sent to him in support of the company's position. The introduction was titled, "Boycott This!":

[TO OUR READERS: Last week the Mercury printed a letter on our cover from Douglas R. Scott, president of Life Decisions International. In the letter, Mr. Scott warned the Mercury that we should stop supporting Planned Parenthood, or risk being picketed and placed on their "Boycott List." Naturally, we told them to cram it up their ass. What follows are some readers who have similar thoughts.]

The first letter published in the Mercury was authored by David Greenberg, president and chief executive officer of Planned Parenthood of the Columbia/Willamette:

I loved your March 31 cover page and letter to Douglas Scott! You did the best thing one can do to stand up to these extremist fanatics--expose them and hold them up to the ridicule they so justly deserve.

For your readers who want join the protest, it's easy to help push the Mercury to the top of the boycott list by making a donation to your local Planned Parenthood...

Thank you so much for your passionate support. You are just terrific.

"As is so often the case with those who 'love' abortion, Humphrey prefers to ignore the grossly evil acts committed by Planned Parenthood and concentrate on its seemingly innocuous activities," said Douglas R. Scott, president of LDI. "It's quite interesting that Humphrey can refer to 'Christian bigots' while blatantly exposing his personal anti-Christ bigotry. Furthermore, Humphrey seems to rely almost exclusively on name-calling, a racist remark, extensive sarcasm, and downright perverse comments about having sex with a Christian wife or daughter."

"While we hope and pray that all Christians would be faithful to God and His will, which never includes the killing of those He created in the womb, we could be the most hypocritical or inconsistent people on earth and abortion would still be wrong," Scott responded. "And the 'right to choose,' which is verbal engineering that was purposefully created to help sway public opinion, is an incomplete thought. Humphrey supports the 'right to choose,' but the 'right to choose' what? The full sentence would read something like this: 'I support the right to choose to kill a preborn human being I find inconvenient--at any time in pregnancy and for any or no reason.' Okay, now we have an accurate picture of what Humphrey is talking about because we have employed proper use of the English language."

Scott said that slaveholders did not believe everyone should own a slave. "Slaveholders simply did not want people interfering in their personal decisions. If slaveholders had invented 'pro-choice' rhetoric, the abomination might still exist."

As for Planned Parenthood's chief, Scott said that Greenberg's flattery and support of The Portland Mercury clearly shows he has no problem with the use of racist remarks, name-calling, and vulgar rhetoric. "We wonder if Greenberg would have been as pleased with Humphrey if he had published the information about Planned Parenthood we sent along with the letter requesting that funding for his group cease? And we wonder if Greenberg would accept a challenge to a public debate where his rhetoric and name-calling would not go unanswered? Why do we doubt it?" Scott said a public debate would be useful in exposing Planned Parenthood's true agenda. "Planned Parenthood's greatest ally is public ignorance of its mission and activities. We seek to shine light where there is currently darkness--no matter how much Planned Parenthood leaders may enjoy the darkness."

Since The Portland Mercury published Scott's letter, LDI has been besieged with letters, phone calls, and emails from Portland-area pro-abortion activist. All of these messages, along with LDI's responses, have been placed on this website. (Warning: Many of the messages include extreme profanity and other highly offensive text.)

"Let's not be overly appalled by Humphrey's remarks," Scott said. "Humphrey is serving his god just as we are serving our God. As atrocious as it is, we should not be the least bit surprised that he would write such things."
