ISS:THE Upjohn Company - killing or caring?
Unborn children are destroyed daily by drugs developed and
manufactured by the Upjohn Company. On May 19, leading pro-life groups
launched a nation-wide boycott of all Upjohn products, and we urge you
to join in.
As far as we know, Upjohn is the sole U.S. manufacturer of
prostaglandin drugs used in late term abortions. What's more, there's
growing evidence that these compounds may soon be available for
at-home, "do-it-yourself" abortions.
Some may question the effectiveness of boycotts. The recent decision
by Southland Corp. to remove pornography from 7-Eleven stores shows
that economic boycotts CAN work. At times it's inconvenient, but if
enough people join in, we can have a tremendous effect.
This year Upjohn celebrates their 100th Anniversary with the motto,
"A Century of Caring." Let's take a stand and show what caring really
is - compassion for "the least of these," especially unborn children.
Ask for alternatives to all Upjohn products - both prescription
drugs and over-the-counter items. Ask your doctor and hospital to quit
prescribing Upjohn drugs, and be sure to tell them why. Also talk to
your veternarian, because Upjohn has a large line of animal drugs.
Pressure from different angles will make the boycott more effective.
Be sure to tell Upjohn why you are boycotting: Dr. Theodore Cooper,
The Upjohn Company, 7000 Portage Rd., Kalamazoo, MI 49001. (616)
323-4000.
