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.”

I was going to write the same thing!

How can one be a Democrat and pro-life? That is their very essence; demoncraps worship abortion more than they hate Trump.

I think the problem is we are the wrong class. We’re the persecuted class, not the protected class.

Washington DC is a self-enclosed bubble and echo-chamber of self-righteous, self-assured statists-progressives-leftists.

The thinking there is so highly uniform, it reminds me of other capitals like Beijing

Did these a-holes offer to pay their servers the tips they won’t earn? Did they fully staff the kitchen anyway? Of course not. Talk is cheap.

From the website:“Black Lives Matter. Say Their Names.”

White Lives Also Matter. Say the names of the black militant motorist-murderer’s white victims in Waukesha.

I don’t believe I’ve ever dined at B&P. Mrs. jimfree has once. (The closest one is perhaps 3 miles from the house.) NEVER AGAIN. We don’t do safe spaces.

I don’t eat out hardly any. I like to know what is in my food and that it’s clean, but I’ve enjoyed some pretty good steaks here and there. That said, I wouldn’t want to eat a steak cooked by someone who is ok with murdering babies. What would they NOT do to an order?

Busboys and Poets, a restaurant-bookstore chain...

Wonder what books they ban so people can't read them.

No kidding

Black victimization of whites in murder and robbery and rape has been endemic since blacks got liberated in the 1960s

It’s an issue in any white nation with large numbers of blacks

Stupid snowflake liberals and their “safe spaces.”

They do *not* welcome different viewpoints. They’re intolerant of anything that isn’t deviant and twisted.

Okay, so instead they trample on the rights of others that disagree with them. Got it.

Who owns this place? One of the Obamas, or a member of the Black Congressional Caucus?

The folks at DFLA are include old school Catholic Democrats, a vestige of when there were many such. Others are pro-life folks who would be an odd fit in some pro-life organizations, like homosexuals and atheists. There used to be around 30-40 pro-life Democrat Members of Congress back in the 90s. However, that’s basically gone, as the party has gone leftwards and gotten hostile to religious liberals. The folks at DFLA are good people, but they can’t really do much in a party whose leaders and activists hate their guts.
