Abortion by choice is bad for society, there are plenty of demonstrable negative effects regardless of the moral argument so when you claim that people shouldn't let politics interfere with the organizations they choose to support I can't make sense of your argument; you're simply judging people with a political view that is different to your own.
Oh and FYI it's illegal in Australia for any company (/organization) to organize/arrange for a boycott of a product - don't you have these laws in the USA? The purpose of the law is, for instance that a competitor - or entity with a competing interest - is not allowed to drive business away from a target company. Thus we typically see petitions and not illegal boycotts...
