What should I do?

Over the past couple of months, it has come to my attention that some stores that I frequent are either directly or indirectly supporting Planned Parenthood.  I was very disappointed to hear about this, since I like one of the stores so much I actually have their store credit card.  But knowing what I know, I could not knowingly support a store that is contributing to the holocaust of our children.  In the past, I was involved in the big Target boycott, which lasted a decade.  It eventually ended in Target removing their support for Planned Parenthood.  So I have seen how a boycott can change the course of a company's decisions.  Therefore, my husband and I have decided to join the boycott of these stores until they change their policy.

Someone recently told me about a pet store chain that had been getting their animals from places that were not humane.  I guess this fact made the news and within something like a week that pet store was out of business because people were so indignant that the pet store would support such an atrocity.  One week!  It took us ten years to get Target to change their policy, but a pet store was put out of business in one week!  Where are our priorities?  Why is it that a child is seen as less important than a dog?  And what are we going to do about it?  Let's wake up!  You might not be able to change everything, or address every injustice.  But do something.  Ask God what he wants you to do and then obey him.

I agree whole heartedly. When I know about a store supporting something I don't believe, they lose my business.

Which stores, please?

Sorry, Michelle, I just saw this post. The three main ones are Kohl's, Staples and Toys R Us. I'm also avoiding Johnson and Johnson products for the same reason.
