Citing Abortion Views, DC Restaurant Boots Pro-Life Group
Catholic News Agency ^ | 1/13/22 | Katie Yoder

Posted on 01/13/2022 7:16:19 PM PST by marshmallow

Saying it “stands firmly” in support of legalized abortion, a Washington, D.C. restaurant has canceled a pro-life group’s booking for its annual “March for Life Breakfast.”

The group, Democrats for Life of America, scheduled the event at the K Street location of Busboys and Poets, a restaurant-bookstore chain, to coincide with the 49th annual March for Life on Jan. 21.

“When our team learned the fundraising nature of the event in question, the decision was made to cancel it and refund all deposits to the event organizer,” a spokeswoman for Busboys and Poets told CNA.

The chain “stands firmly on the belief that women have the right to make their own reproductive health decisions,” she said.

“While we welcome conversations from individuals expressing different viewpoints and pride ourselves on being a venue for respectful conversations between diverse groups, we are also a safe space,” the spokeswoman continued. “As such, we cannot knowingly accept events designed to fund an agenda which our community members believe to be trampling on the rights of others.”

Can’t they be sued? They are depriving.service cause they disagree with the customer. If you sue them and lose...it becomes precedent so that other, let’s say bakers, can decline to offer their services also.

They stand for the right of a woman to make her own decision about her body but the unvaccinated do not have that same right to decide what happens to their bodies.

I’m glad they’re doing this before we give them our money. Don’t go there and get the word out. We never eat at places with a gay pride flag or sticker. It’s basically an anti-Christian decal. Nope, don’t give them your money!

Murdering innocent little preborn babies between conception and birth is destroying the babies’ right to life.

The mothers who are committing the murders have no right to commit the murders.

There is no safe space for innocent little preborn babies when their mothers are authorized to murder them between conception and birth.

I’m sure they were trying to infiltrate the Dems and change them from inside, like, uh, I dunno, Romney, Cheney, Bushes, Carl Rove, McCain...

“While we welcome conversations....we are also a safe space,”

How squirmy of a brain must someone have for that to make any sense?

No. They stand for murdering unborn children which has nothing to do with women deciding what to do with their bodies.
