SCHAUMBURG, Ill. (CBSLA.com/AP) — A suburban Chicago woman is accusing Office Depot of religious discrimination, saying employees told her that making copies of an anti-abortion prayer violated company policy.
Last month, Maria Goldstein, a Roman Catholic, asked employees at an Office Depot location in Schaumburg, Ill., to make 500 copies of “A Prayer for Planned Parenthood”, the Associated Press reported.
The prayer was composed by the Rev. Frank Pavone, national director of the anti-abortion group Priest for Life. It calls on God to “Bring an end to the killing of children in the womb, and bring an end to the sale of their body parts. Bring conversion to all who do this, and enlightenment to all who advocate it.”
The prayer also includes statistics about abortion in the U.S. and decries “the evil that has been exposed in Planned Parenthood and in the entire abortion industry.”
Company spokeswoman Karen Denning tells the Chicago Tribune that Office Depot prohibits the copying of material that advocates “the persecution of certain groups of people,” among other criteria. She says the flier “contained material that advocates the persecution of people who support abortion rights.”

She can bring them to my office and I will print them until the machine breaks down.
A Boca Raton Florida company. Boca Raton is home to the slimest vile liberal scumbags in the entire country!
“advocates persecution? “ Not in the PDF; it says “close down death camps” but never out of context of legally cutting off funds or perhaps other divine intervention I see.
“I call heaven and earth to record this day against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore choose life, that both thou and thy seed may live:”
Found this in a black book, in a drawer, in a motel room.
Sorry but you can’t deny service to anyone anymore.
It’s the new rule.
Silly, you missed the asterisk and fine print.
Done. When you serve the general public like Office Depot does, describing the beliefs of half your customers as “hate” is really, really stupid. A much more honest position would be to say that they are strong supporters of abortion on demand, and their beliefs prevent them from serving customers to help them spread the pro-life message.
Isn’t this much the same as, say, a Christian bakery refusing to bake a cake for a same sex marriage?
Just imagine what would happen to them if they refused to print a homosexual flyer, or a BlackLiesMatter flyer, or an Islamic flyer.
People must see abortion if they do not imagine it. We ar paying for it. It is legal in our country. It is promoted by our government and by our democrat politicians and enabled by GOP e
We the people run this country. We are feeling the consequences of allowing this. We have to stp it. It’s hard to stop it against the sociopaths who promote it whe people will not see it for what it is or imagine it or just accept it for what it is.
If it’s so good and so important then look at it
If not then at least don’t prevent others from seeing it.
Which was the intent of the Home Depot
They probably have the right to not have to print it.
However that would be no different from someone in the bakery business not wanting to get involved with gay marriage.
Same deal seems to me
I use Office Depot (and Office Max, same company) for many, many things. Eff 'em!
I have other options for my print needs.
Office Depot has no right to peruse your “mail”.
The report I heard this (9/12) am over Chicago’s WGN radio station. Is that they recanted that decision and were going to print up the piece that a local employee questioned and refused to print up at no charge.
GOOD!!!
This is worse than I originally thought.
“the persecution of certain groups of people,”
The attorney is saying anything that disagrees with the pro-abortion people is “persecution”.
They have apologized.
That was only because they were getting hit in the pocketbook.
Office Depot is dead to me
The public schools have been at it for over 40 years
They've thoroughly screwed up the mama's and the papa's of
The kids that are hired by all these subversive corporations
which prove to be more screwed up than their mama's and papa's
and they are buying franchises and etcetera's
hiring hippies n' n###### n' queers, Oh My !
Office Depot was allowed by the greater majoriy of America to just go ahead and be as weird as they wanted to be
Green hair, orange shoes and more steel in your face than the Brooklyn Bridge ..... "Will y'do what 'cher told ?"
Yessir .... (they know enough to talk like that once or twice in their lifetime)
Start Monday
The sad, honest truth
