Yes, there is one more thing we can do. It is to alert others that we don't agree with those policies and let Amazon know. Probably precisely what those that have pushed Amazon to remove those items (it must have been some religious fringe groups) have done in the first place. Why shouldn't others react in kind? If you never speak up, businesses will think that they are acting in their best interest.

We simply have to convince Amazon and others that such moves are bad for business.
