As a very generic point... for those saying that any company has - or should have - the right to choose whom to do business with... do you even remember all the establishments not accepting non-whites? The hotels refusing homosexual couples? Or, further back in time, unmarried couples?

Businesses are NOT unrestricted in choosing whom to do business with, nor should they be.

Regarding products... it's a very slippery slope as well. There are stores here in Oklahoma refusing to sell contraceptives. Gas stations that won't sell rolling papers. Where do you draw the line?

In my mind, any restriction to freedom is detrimental - to me, to society. I might accept arguments about being forced to supply a particular service - as above, contraceptives, tobacco, alcohol, etc. But here we are talking about something completely different - HINDERING someone else's ability to engage in a LEGAL transaction.

I don't know where the legality of the issue lays. But Paypal is certainly on my black list.
