Are they that good that you would hold this belief in a woman's right to choose, yet help provide the funding to prevent her from exercising this right you believe in?
I will go to Taco Bell instead. Coors supports helmet laws, and donates money to legislators that keep laws like this on the books. As a result, even if their beer did not taste like crap, I would not spend one cent on their product. In fact, no matter how thirsty I may be, I will not even accept a free Coors from someone, because I know that while it may be free to me, someone has to pay to replace it. Ergo, I would not even accept a free burger from Wendy's.

I doubt anyone here has anything against you boycotting companies that push motives contrary to your own. That's one of the rights we all have, and it can be effectively used. But it is impossible to adjust my life around the motives of every single business owner, president, CEO, or spokesperson with whom I do business. That is not possible, nor is it the most beneficial way to spend your time in many cases.
