First, thanks to everyone who has called or emailed Kohl’s in the past couple days to express displeasure with Kohl’s support of Planned Parenthood.ProLife Wisconsin
Many of you have received an email response from Kohl’s, stating:
Thank you for contacting us directly with your concerns.
After receiving your e-mail, I researched your concerns about any involvement we may have with Planned Parenthood. Our Community Relations department confirmed that Kohl’s does not have a corporate partnership with Planned Parenthood. I reviewed their annual report and verified that Kohl’s is not listed as a partner. Additionally, we have not sponsored any Associates in Action (formerly A-Team) events with Planned Parenthood within the last 24 months.
We appreciate the time you took to contact us and look forward to serving you again.
We have found a link between Planned Parenthood and Kohl’s, however. Kohl’s is listed as a sponsor in the $500-999 level and donated items to support the services of Planned Parenthood of Orange and San Bernardino Counties [PPOSBC]. Click here to view on PPOSBC’s website.
We urge you to continue contacting Kohl’s! Provide the above link as proof. In 2008-09, PPOSBC performed 4,611 abortions and provided 37,870 doses of “emergency contraception.” The message to be sent to Kohl’s is clear: We will take our money elsewhere rather than support an organization involved in the extermination of our future.
Minnesota based Target does not contribute to Planned Parenthood.

I was ready to contact Kohl's, however, the annual report referenced is for 2006 - 2007. Kohl's email response refers to the past 24 months. If they no longer contribute to Planned Parenthood, their business should not suffer. Kindly verify.
I would like to note that Pro-Life Wisconsin has produced this report. I only linked to it and quoted their story verbatim . I would recommend contacting Pro-Life Wisconsin for more details.

We should all do our very best to stand up for the unborn and to expose Planned Parenthood for the baby killers they are. Naturally we never want to support any business that works against our mission, however, we must always be 100% - absolutely - positively sure of the facts before we repeat them or present them in print...to do less could ruin someone's business without just cause and in my estimation would be sinful.
Further to my post of the 16th, I have posted to the Wisconsin Pro-life site (as recommended by Badger Catholic) to ask for clarification on the subject. Will advise when I receive a response.
