Chilis Cancels Planned Parenthood Fundraiser After Pro-Life People Complain

Chili’s restaurants has cancelled a Planned Parenthood fundraiser that was being held at locations across two states after pro-life people complained. In an exclusive report a LifeNews.com yesterday, Chili’s restaurants in two states were coming under fire from pro-life advocates for giving 15% of patron’s meal purchases to the Planned Parenthood abortion business.

Earlier this week the Planned Parenthood abortion business affiliate in Indiana and Kentucky posted a promotional code its supporters could use to request that Chili’s donate 15% of the pre-tax meal purchase to benefit the abortion corporation.

According to the image the abortion company posted, its supporters can bring the voucher to any of the identified Chili’s locations participating in the give back program.

DOH! So, did the evil pro-lifers set cars on fire, turn over trash cans, smash store windows etc to accomplish their nasty agenda to deny women the "right" to an abortion? Don't sound like it. As soon as I hear "give back" it sets my hackles on "rise". Kinda like "coalition" or "community organizers". Just twists my shorts in a knot. How about 'unplanned/inconvenient parenthood termination facilities' hand out some twine to tie some legs together. Oh, I musta forgot, they're prohibited from using federal monies for abortions. Guess they wanted Chili's to help pay for them.

A business is extremely stupid to get involved in these matters.

This is what happens with the “socially conscious” idiocy that businesses are falling all over themselves to promote.

Good to hear, but Chili’s is already dead to me. They have embraced the leftist worldview long ago.

Too late. You have already shown your hand.

There are plenty of other restaurants where I can eat.

Our Chili’s has such slow service and such mediocre food that it doesn’t have much business except the unfortunate travelers who stop along the interstate. It’s hard to see who in the management of this company thought that insulting over half the country by subsidizing baby killing would help their bottom line.

What’s the big deal?? Chili’s is just trying to help “weed the garden of humanity.”

Chili's response to my letter sent yesterday:

They must have been overwhelmed with responses like mine. Why any franchisee would see this as a good way to win friends and influence people is just mind-boggling.

Chili’s has gone downhill over the past few years. Their food just isn’t that good anymore.

Chili’s want to bring the subject, if not the actual pieces, of ripped apart unborn children to the dinner table?

Kudos to you for taking action.

Activism is one lesson we can learn from the left. We on the right are much too polite and just take it. Time to step up and actively promote our values.

This is where corporations can trim the fat. Eliminate the "Social Responsibility" and "Diversity and Inclusion" piffle and staff related to those activities. The focus should be offering a product or service to the public at a competitive price.

The only thing on their menu I like is chili - and you have to look hard for that on the menu as its a side-dish.

Ha! “Is the new corporate motto “Killing Future Customers”?”

OR KFC (Kentucky Fried Chicken)? I think that one is
already taken. - We’ve NEVER been to “Chili’s” and for
sure won’t go now.
