In celebration of the 42nd anniversary of Roe v. Wade, Planned Parenthood Advocates of Kansas and Missouri was planning to have cocktails, appetizers and a screening of the film, Obvious Child, at Standees Prairie Village.
STANDEES is a neighborhood dining and entertainment theater in Kansas. The event was scheduled for January 21, 2015 – that was until, Standees rescinded the invitation to host the abortion celebration.
The announcement from Planned Parenthood about the cancellation read,”We regret to inform you that, on very short notice, Standees has informed PPKM that they have rescinded their commitment to host our film event on Wednesday, January 21st. If you have already responded to our invitation, we will be reaching out early next week with the new event location. We deeply regret Standees’ position and any inconvenience this has caused you.”
No reason was given for the cancellation, however, if I were to offer a guess, I would assume that all the negative publicity the Episcopal Church in Wichita received after they agreed to host a Chili for Choice Planned Parenthood celebration may have led to Standees backing out. – Just a guess.
Whatever the reason, the event was cancelled and that’s one less celebration of the killing of unborn children by the abortion giant this year.

Surprised they weren’t screening Rosemary’s Baby the way they despise pregnancies so.
Considering this is abortion just about any Jason, Freddie or Michael Myers slasher movie will do.
This is the same theater where I saw American Sniper yesterday morning and really like the place.
I will be sure to let them know how grateful I am that they cancelled the "celebration" for Planned Parenthood, tomorrow.
If I lived around that it would be too little, too late and I would never darken their door again
They will just do it elsewhere, who knows maybe inside the Episcopagan "church" itself.
I would boycott them for accepting it in the first place
I’ve never heard of Standees, is it a nice place?

They serve dinner, appetizers and dessert in the restaurant side. They offer a discount on dinner for purchasing their theater tickets as well offering dessert afterward at a discount for purchasing their theater tickets.
Had a fine ribeye steak for $19.00 with salad, etc.
Delicious buttered popcorn that smelled like they used coconut oil to pop it in!
We go there often for a bite without seeing a movie but just had to see American Sniper this weekend!
Having scheduled a private event there before Christmas, I'm not certain they were aware of just who or what was to be celebrated. They really are a small establishment with maybe 4 theater screens, a small restaurant and bar attached.
Generally, one just gives a contact name, number of guests and deposit as they didn't inquire reason or company for our party.
I have a feeling they got wind of the bad press the Episcopagan church in Wichita was getting so they decided to back out. They don’t want pro life protesters out side. Good move on their part.
FYI, their location is smack dab in the middle of two strong Catholic parishes, a hard left Congregational church plus a strong nationally recognized Presbyterian USA church (Village Presbyterian) that has been the vanguard of the pro-choice, pro-gay rights agenda for decades, then there are the rest of us strong conservative Evangelical protestants of a number of denominations.
