...given the extreme inconvenience of a pregnancy, I think I actually
agree with rane there. Shhh, don't tell anyone.

Re #182: Pointing out the conflict between Bruce's values and the
actions of his ideological neighbors is intended to be informative
to all (many people do not know Wal-Mart's tricks) and allow Bruce
to reconsider his position if he feels like it.

Yup, I'm not claiming to have a plan to eliminate abortions. I'd settle for
eliminating 95% or so. Which is more than I believe any feasible abortion
ban would ever do.

Wal-Mart loves to censor its product offerings to conform to
the politics of its management. Among other things, they:
1.) Demand bowdlerized versions of mass-market "music". (I
consider these things to be words over noise, but Wal-Mart
is not objecting to the lack of artistic merit. They
would probably object to "Compared to what" for several
parts of the lyrics. Phillistines.)
2.) Drop magazines because they don't like them. In many cases,
Wal-Mart is the biggest retail outlet for periodicals in
their local markets; refusing to carry a magazine may mean
it is effectively unavailable except by subscription.
3.) Drop drugs because they don't like them (not because people
don't need them). This includes morning-after pills. When
Wal-Mart's pharmacy has driven the independents out of business,
this may make certain drugs effectively unavailable in a
considerable geographic area.
In addition, Wal-Mart is brutal to suppliers. They demand large
advances and very liberal terms on returns, so a supplier has to lay
out large amounts of money to make product which Wal-Mart then
returns if it doesn't sell on schedule. Many businesses have been
driven out of business by a Wal-Mart "opportunity". Wal-Mart is
cannibalizing small and medium US enterprises and throwing Americans
out of work, but its management doesn't care.
All of this has led me to buy nothing from Wal-Mart unless I cannot
obtain it anywhere else.

I have not set foot in a Wal-Mart in years for those very reasons.

Yeah, I have a weird Wal-Mart dilema. They sell the only jeans that I
really like. And they are cheap. :(. So, even though I dont like
WalMart, I still buy the jeans there because I like them more than I
dont like WalMart. heh

I won't buy from Wal-Mart for those reasons either.
