I recall some liberal friends of mine to come to a Superbowl party I was hosting if I served Dominos pizza. At the time, Catholic Tom Monaghan was CEO, and they couldn't countenance buying a pizza from "a pro-life zealot".

I wonder if they're now preparing to purge their computers of Windows products and installing Linux.

That kind of money was super offensive to a lot of people. I'm sure they were under serious fire even though the media wasn't reporting it.

No worries, though. Warren Buffett will pick up the slack for abortion funding:

I won't fund abortion either. Let them pay for their own damned abortion.

I think there is a misconception that liberals favor having abortions.

In reality, liberals support the right for people to have that option as a choice should that be what they want to do in their particular situation.

Nobody paid for my abortions or my kids....

I dunno Zeke, I'm a socially liberal kind of guy but can't we draw the line somewhere? Something like "Ok, I'll pay for your abortion but you get your tubes tied and the guy who did it gets a vasectomy"?

$1,200,000,000.00 is more than supportive IMO.

I've seen much worse than abortion in the form of unloved uncherished and abused kids. Get your priorities straight before sentencing someone else's kids to hell after birth.
