How to Make your Computer Pro-Life Friendly
Let's start with the ideal boycott of products. You would want to
rid your computer of all products of companies that are
supporting Planned Parenthood Inc., right? Well, most people can't do that.
Why? Because that would mean you would have to replace your operating system,
especially if you run MS-Windows, a product created by Microsoft. How about

They work very similarly to Microsoft Office, yet they are different enough that most people would prefer to use only Microsoft Office, because people are most familiar with Microsoft Office.
The Department of Justice is not going to save you. Neither is your Senator or Congressman. You have to find the choices necessary to actively boycott Microsoft products. So co-install LibreOffice, and start using it along side of Microsoft Office. See how they compare. And eventually, you may be able to replace Microsoft Office with your favorite alternative program.
Here is a listing of programs that compose the "Baby Steps" software list ...
