But wedding planners and bakeries can’t refuse to do business with gays? I think someone should sue.

Not unlike the bakers, wedding planners, hotels and inns that have refused to provide goods or services for gay weddings.

Insane decision on the part of the company.

See, if I am running a software company, and an anti-gun organization wants my solution, I charge them 5 times the going rate. I give them my software, make 2x profit, and send the other 3x to the GOA, NRA, and Georgia Conceal Carry organizations.

Take the damned money and apply it to their foes.

(The Databank just wants to ensure that a high % of its potential future customers are aborted before they can use their product...it’s the same exact reason why there are X % of fewer baby & child products purchased, why teachers are laid off & schools closed down, and why illegal immigrants are widely accepted into Western nations...)

I think any company should be free to refuse to do business with anyone, for any reason. Don't like 'em 'causwe they're gay? Because they are pro-life? Because they're black? or Muslim? It's all fine with me -- you don't have a free society if the government forces you to go against what you consider a good business decision.

And, obviously, if one group is given protected, preferential treatment ("Don't discriminate against homosexuals") and another group is declared fair game ("Pro-life? Shun them! They are icky!") then we have a serious problem.

Do we have a government of laws, or of men? Don't bother. I know the answer. Sigh.

The software company management are idiots.

There are at least 1/2 dozen open source “free as in beer” database programs. Some of them are every bit as good as 90% of the closed source counterparts.

For a half way good consultant, this should be a non-issue.

I create databases for a living and I live near CLC headquarters. Time to submit a bid.

Guess they can't be sued under Canadian Human Rights Commisions (the ones that make life hell for those who don't want to do lesbian weddings etc.) since the company is USA.

But we have roughly the same sorts of lynch mob commissions in most states.

I don’t have any problem with this as long as other business are allowed to act according to their beliefs - but they’re not, are they?

If we, as honest conservatives, believe in the right to contract freely, then we can’t oppose them on this.

Let these disgusting supporters of abortion go on without our business... and let us do business with companies that welcome pro-lifers.

Just as, if we want a Christian landlord to have the right to restrict rentals to gay couples, we must allow a gay landlord to have the right to restrict rentals to Christians.

In a free economy, there will be contracting parties on all sides, willing to meet each others’ need.

I’m not saying we shouldn’t be outraged at this software company... sure, be outraged... sure, boycott them... but don’t ask the government to step in.. Always think of it as if the shoe were on the other foot. We don’t want the government to have the ability to harass our side any more than they already (usually unconstitutionally) do.

...email reply from Bridget Kelly, The Databank’s sales manager. It stated, “Please continue your search for nonprofit software. Our company values are not a good fit...

That company has a strange idea about "good fit". Anyway, who wants to do business with a company run by turd pokers, except other turd pokers?

I am sure the ACLU will immediately step into this one on the side of Pro-Life.

Software company refuses service to pro-life group over abortion, marriage views

Works for me. This helps establish a precedent, and it also tips me off on businesses I will not support.
