Wally World Today, Target Tomorrow?

I noticed that Wal-Mart had caved to Planned Parenthood sometime last week, and it appears that PP has recognized this for the victory that it is and has now set its sights on Target. (Seriously, I am not going to have anywhere left to shop if they keep this up.)

From Lifenews.com, “Planned Parenthood Targets Target After Wal-Mart Morning After Pill Win,” by Steven Ertelt

Washington, DC (LifeNews.com) — After pressuring Wal-Mart to revise its policy on the sale and distribution of the morning after pill to make it easier to obtain, Planned Parenthood is setting its sights on Target, another large retailer. The abortion business is asking its supporters to contact Target pharmacies to make sure they stock the Plan B drug.

Last week, Wal-Mart adopted a new policy ensuring that customers “will now receive their prescriptions or OTC products in store without discrimination (no harassment or lectures).”

Wal-mart pledged to stock the morning after pill in every store where at least one person requests the drug and to assist customers in obtaining the drug if it is not available at a particular location.

The move came after tremendous pressure from Planned Parenthood.

Celebrating the victory, the abortion business told its members and supporters to lobby Target stores.

“Fresh from our Wal-Mart victory, we’re zeroing in on the biggest holdout,” Planned Parenthood president Cecile Richards told her supporters in an email LifeNews.com obtained. “It’s time to target Target.”

The first step in the pro-abortion group’s plan is to have its members collect data on which Target stores stock the morning after pill and which stores have pharmacists who have moral or religious objections to selling it.

“Visit Target stores in your community to check on the availability of emergency contraception,” Planned Parenthood instructs its members.

Richards says the abortion business will be relentless in forcing Target to promote the morning after pill as much as possible.

“Our work won’t be done until Target and other pharmacy chains adopt policies that [promote the drug],” Richards said.

What I would like to see is an organization like the American Family Association come out in opposition to Wal-Mart’s policy revision and stand up for Target’s support of pharmacists who are opposed to the Morning-After Pill. I mean, I am all for using your vast grassroots organization to effectively boycott Ford for being pro-homosexual and NBC for showing blasphemous sitcoms… but I feel like this is an area where AFA could truly make a stand in an issue of life and death.

Or not…

Again via Drudge: Ford posts biggest loss in 14 years.

Readers who are unaware of the Boycott Ford movement may buy this explanation:

High gasoline prices have caused U.S. consumers to shift away from sport utility vehicles and pickup trucks, a segment that represents over 60 percent of Ford’s current sales.

The American Family Association wonders, if that excuse is true, then why aren’t General Motors and Chrysler - who were in the same position as Ford before the AFA boycott - facing the same difficulties?

While Ford, General Motors and Chrysler had similar financial problems when the AFA boycott began, most analysts see General Motors and Chrysler conditions improving. While not responsible for all of Ford’s financial problems, the boycott is not doubt having a major effect. Ford blames it on the cost of gasoline. But General Motors and Chrysler face the same problem of $3 a gallon gas, yet their situation is improving.

Interesting.

If you doubt AFA’s ability to be the force behind such a loss for Ford, check out this. That is only one of many examples of the force behind AFA.
