So very true. This is also true for the shareholders--who directed what happened to the profits from their individual shares. At the end of the day--money talks.
I'm surprised that this didn't come up the very moment that Buffett and BH acquired PC, as he is known for being a staunch pro-choice supporter. In fact, Operation Rescue or some such organization has him listed as one of the top supporters of abortions in terms of donations to reproductive rights organizations (Bill Gates is also high on the list).
It's really not that hard to find out the stance of your employer/ favorite store/university in certain arenas, especially if they are causes that you are especially concerned about (as these PC women are supposedly about abortion). A quick internet search or asking around can provide information about divestments and social policies--I have often used these as a tool to decide whether I want to grace an employer or store with my time or money. If BH had been hiding their collaboration with family planning organizations, I could feel sorry for these women. But I don't.
