You know I read the article and I can't believe that somebody at the bookshop didn't bother to take the time to check to see if the student was lying or not. It's apparent that somebody didn't check to see if the student's accusation was true or not before removing the items. Is this what it's coming to, that one person can tell a lie and cause such a disturbance and get away with it.....
It doesn't surprise me though. That would require questioning.......
Well the way I see it, if you walk into a Christian bookstore, you have to know that the books are hand picked to fit an agenda.
Its like sending kids to Catholic school. They certainly aren't going to supply condoms in the boys room.
Just shop at Borders
What happens when Borders doesn't carry the book? Every bookstore gets to decide what books they do and don't want to stock--plain and simple.
No, because that's how it works in retail. One person that complains stands for a dozen that are offended but stay silent. So in interests of customer retention, they remove a product just based on one complaint.
Komen had to put out statements showing that their funding while it might go to Planned Parenthood in certain communities went for mammograms and other cancer prevention, NOT abortions.
I found this part interesting from the letter (no relation to the funding part):
Quote:
Another piece of misinformation being spread by many who criticize Komen for the Cure for its Planned Parenthood grants is that abortion causes breast cancer. Well conducted research consistently fails to support this claim. We agree with the bulk of scientific evidence – from the National Cancer Institute, Harvard, a rigorous study in Denmark and from Oxford University – that there is no conclusive link between breast cancer and induced abortion or miscarriage.

Or, equally possible, one person represents just one person. One complaint is just that, one. If your silent "dozen" really cared, they would speak up. As it stands, you are saying that one person equals a majority and has the right to dictate what any others may see or read.
Totally an issue of censorship and another attempt at control of all people, whether they want it or not.

Minor nitpick with this reasoning. Money is fungible . . . so without specific separation of funds (lock boxes) for each of its "services" it is impossible to prevent the use of any of the money for abortions.
