The Venn Diagram with people who made fun of those for threatening to boycott Chick Fil A for gay marriage and people who have threatened to boycott NFL/Netflix/insert liberal company is just a circle.

I said this last week. It's so true.

Why do you assume I’m conservative because I don’t support the killing of babies?

I’ve voted both sides

Well you refer to abortion as “the killing of babies”, so I wasn’t exactly taking an astronimical leap in assuming you as a conservative (even if you aren’t one).

The fact that you pose it this way ('killing babies') signals your virtue and identifies your political beliefs since this is the entire argument that was decided in Rowe v Wade and is infact, not 'killing babies.' Are you against condoms, birth control and emergency contraceptive too?

The fact that companies are coming out in support of abortion just makes my head spin. These CEO’s are idiots. Public companies shouldn’t play with fire.



What makes you think this country is more pro-life rather than pro-choice? Just from my observations I’d say it’s about an equal split with a lean towards pro-choice.

So why not take a stand? Either way it’s an even split and they have to look at their business model and what fits. Pro-choice fits.

Netflix is threatening to discontinue filming in Georgia if the anti-abortion law that was passed doesn’t get overturned. That’s right, they are baby killers

Was going to wait til Disney plus came out to cancel but it’s happening today.


Are you also going to only watch content created by those who share the same political beliefs as you? Good luck with that.

I’m pretty easy going, let a lot of things roll off. I don’t care if Chick-fil-A wants to support gay marriages or not. But I think it’s right to care for those that cannot care for themselves. I will even go so far to say that some situations may warrant taking a baby too early if the mother’s life is in danger. But carelessly taking a life because it’s an inconvenience doesn’t sit right with me. If you don’t want a child then use condoms or the pill.

I just don't see this happening. Mostly because the film industry is huge in Georgia, mainly Atlanta.

You can still be prolife and think those laws are crap.

Why force someone to live with the result of the worst day of their life? If you think they'll love the rape kid just because they gave birth to it, you are a fool.

Also, hahahahahahaha, you should really look up Disney
If you are looking for a company that actually makes political decisions, look at Ben and Jerry's. Everyone else is only worried about the profits.

Good for you for supporting a conservative company that aligns with your values like Disney instead



Fine, I'll go with Hulu!!









Ehh, operated by Disney and soon to be majority owned by Disney.


frick it, Amazon Prime it is.

It's getting tough out here for virtue signalers.


ETA - fwiw, I'm pro life. I just don't get caught up in the political leanings of major corporations because I know it's futile.

I pay a company because of the service they provide, not because of their political views.

The idiots here who act like they're going to boycott Netflix over this while proudly bragging about supporting chick fil a because of their beliefs are just comical.
