Newark Natural Foods (Newark, Delaware)
A comment from Newark Natural Foods CO-OP in regards to your letter to us about supporting the Planned Parenthood Organization. We are somewhat disappointed at your tactics on how your are handling this situation. We will not change our decision based on your opinion and hope in the future that you will understand that it is a free world and we will always support our freedom. Please do not contact us again on this matter.
-- Karen Taylor, Newark Natural Foods (letter to LDI)
LDI COMMENT: It is a "free world"? Ever heard of Communist China, Communist North Korea or Communist Cuba? It is hardly a "free world." It is, however, a free country and LDI has always acknowledged the right of a business to support any organization(s) its owner(s) so choose. The desire to make this an issue of "freedom" rather than an issue of killing preborn human beings is understandable, particularly since there is no real defense to the latter.
Night Kitchen Bakery (Philadelphia & Doylestown, Pennsylvania)
Hello. Uh, my name is Peri Abramsky. I am the pastry chef and general manager at the Night Kitchen Bakery in Philadelphia and, uh, this message is specifically for Douglas Scott. Um, we just received a very threatening letter from you and your organization and I just wanted to let you know that I think it's completely inappropriate that you're sending out letters that are threatening and trying to scare businesses away from donating money to causes that they believe in, and I just wanted to let you know that thanks to your letter, we're going to be significantly increasing our support to Planned Parenthood. So thank you very much, I'm sure they'll appreciate it as well. Have a nice day. Bye bye.
-- Peri Abramksy, Night Kitchen Bakery Inc. (phone call to LDI)
LDI COMMENT: Yet another pro-abortion person who relies on sarcasm. Night Kitchen Bakery may send a billion dollars to Planned Parenthood if it so chooses. Someone seems to be missing the point. At least the billion dollars will not include one penny from pro-life advocates. Would Abramsky have preferred we not give the company a chance to do the right thing and just make Night Kitchen Bakery a boycott target?
Night Kitchen Bakery (Philadelphia & Doylestown, Pennsylvania)
Hi, my name is Amy Edelman. I own the owner of Night Kitchen Bakery in, uh, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. We just received your letter, uh, that were a target of your boycott because of our support for Planned Parenthood and I just wanted to thank you for the reminder, um, for us to send Planned Parenthood a gift certificate to help them raise money. Were actually going to be doubling, uh, our efforts this year and so I just wanted to thank you for the reminder and thank you on behalf of Planned Parenthood for the reminder to support them. Thank You.
-- Amy Edelman, Night Kitchen Bakery Inc. (phone call to LDI)
LDI COMMENT: Edelman surely does not think such rhetoric will discourage us; does she?
Pine Ridge Winery (Napa, California)
Please remove by all means our name from your mailing list. We will not support blackmail and extortion.
-- George Scheppler, Pine Ridge Winery Inc. (e-mail to LDI)
LDI COMMENT: It looks like someone needs to look up the definitions of some terms.
The Portland Mercury (Portland, Oregon)
As previously noted, a company is not added to The Boycott List unless its chief executive refuses to make Planned Parenthood ineligible for support in the future. LDI sends a letter requesting that Planned Parenthood receive no more funding along with information about Planned Parenthood to every chief executive, even if we believe there is no chance he or she will end the philanthropic practice. Take, for example, The Portland Mercury, a "newspaper" of the radical left, which used a photograph of LDI's letter to the publication (signed by LDI President Douglas R. Scott) on the front page of the "newspaper." In fact, LDI's letter was the front page! William Steven Humphrey, editor of The Portland Mercury, printed his response to LDI's letter in the same edition (the following may include extreme profanity and/or other highly offensive text).
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, The Portland Mercury (commentary included in The Portland Mercury)
LDI COMMENT: As is 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.
It's quite interesting that Humphrey can refer to "Christian bigots" while blatantly exposing his own anti-Christ bigotry. Putting aside his name-calling, racist remark, the downright perverse comments about having sex with a Christian wife or daughter, and his extensive reliance on sarcasm, Humphrey views "anti-choice" people as hypocrites who oppose the "right to choose." (Let's not be overly appalled by Humphrey's remarks. Humphrey is serving his god just as we are serving our God. We should not be the least bit surprised that he would write such things.)
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. And the "right to choose," which is verbal engineering that was purposefully created to help sway public opinion, is an incomplete phrase. (Slaveholders did not believe that everyone should own a slave. They just did not want people interfering in their personal decision. If slaveholders have invented the "pro-choice" strategy, the abomination might still exist.) 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.
For the record, exposing and fighting Planned Parenthood's agenda is LDI's primary purpose, not our "sole purpose."
