The following News item is taken from PC4Life, “The website for Pampered Chef Consultants And Customers Who Are Committed To Protecting Life.”

We are pleased to report that on July 3, 2003, long-time boycott target Berkshire Hathaway, which owns The Pampered Chef, Dairy Queen, See’s Candies, and several other companies, announced that it will no longer allow its shareholders to designate where the corporation’s donations will go — effectively cutting off Planned Parenthood. Consequently, Berkshire Hathaway has been dropped as a boycott target (including all of its subsidiaries). LDI (Life Decisions International) will continue to monitor the corporation’s philanthropic activities to ensure that it does not resume funding Planned Parenthood or any other pro-abortion entity.

We want to give a special thank you to Cindy Coughlon, the courageous homemaker who decided to take on Berkshire Hathaway over its support of Planned Parenthood. Once again it has been demonstrated that one person, with the help of others, can make a huge difference.
