Hewlett Foundation Giving Millions to Planned Parenthood - Don't buy Their Ink Cartridges Says Pro-life Leader

LifeSiteNews.com has also reported on the Packard Foundation's funding of the abortion movement (see: http://www.lifesitenews.com/ldn/2000/mar/00032702.html and http://www.lifesitenews.com/ldn/2000/mar/00032702.html ).

Jim Hughes of Campaign Life Coalition said that the best method for pro-lifers to confront Hewlett on their support for abortion is to attack the "slender thread" upon which the technology giant Hewlett-Packard bases its financial survival: ink cartridges.

Pro-lifers who use Hewlett-Packard (HP) printers can send a message by investing in a new printer from another company, he said, but those who keep their old printers would be able to make a very significant impact by choosing to purchase refurbished ink cartridges. HP makes no profit from refurbished cartridges.

"If Hewlett Packard were whacked with laser beam precision right where it hurts financially for the Hewlett and Packard Foundations' putting themselves so firmly behind abortion supporters, that would have an impact," said Hughes.

"A sudden lurch the wrong direction (down) in the financial bedrock would be a tremendous blow, fiscally and psychologically. People at the top would notice, they'd want to know why, and they would do the research necessary to figure it out; they would learn."
