Students Urge Catholic University to Can Starbucks Because of Its Pro-Abortion Funding
TFP ^ | 08-08-19 | TFP Student Action

Posted on 08/08/2019 3:15:09 PM PDT by ConernedAmerican

Why would Catholics want to favor the abortion industry with every sip of café latte?  Well, they don’t.  That’s why a growing number of students at Saint Leo University are urging campus officials to scrap plans to welcome Starbucks at their Catholic institution.

“I reject Starbucks on campus because they support Planned Parenthood, an abortion provider,” said Matalin Shaver, a pro-life senior at Saint Leo.  “I would love to see a coffee provider that is local or another supplier that does not support Planned Parenthood or go against our Catholic values.”

Sign this peaceful protest.

Starbucks attacks moral values in multiple ways:

Funding largest abortion provider:  According to the Media Research Center, “Starbucks' support of Planned Parenthood is an established fact.” The corporation matches donations to Planned Parenthood.

Same-sex “marriage” advocacy: Starbucks attacked true marriage by signing an amicus brief urging the US Supreme Court to overturn state marriage laws in Obergefell v. Hodges (2015).

Transgender support:  In denial of human nature created by God, Starbucks’ web site declared its support of transgenderism: “Starbucks added coverage of gender reassignment surgery to the company’s health benefits.”

Catholic colleges should never favor abortion or sins against nature in any way.  Please urge Saint Leo University to reject Starbucks and pick a coffee supplier that doesn’t fund the killing of innocent babies.

Stand up for moral values.

It makes perfect sense that they do not want to have a business right on campus that is against their beliefs.

Can’t stand Starbucks coffee or pastries or food offerings. Horrible quality.

Sad how many mom and pops it’s shoved out of business. :(

Very gratifying. If this same proposal were made at my local “Catholic” University (Boston College) the ones making it would be hounded out of the state by students,faculty,the press *and* politicians.

Coincidentally, a trult traditional and conservative Catholic College, Collegium Sanctorum Angelorum, is starting up in Florida, and they are selling their own coffee to fund the grounds.

They have changed their name to "Dunkin'" (missing a verb, there), as if they were ashamed of their doughnuts (which are NOT what they used to be).

Good.

Universities, and cities want to exclude Chick-Fil-A?

Let religious universities exclude Starbucks.

This cannot be.
A Catholic University actually acting Catholic?
Who banned all the Jesuits?

Hey, all you SJW’s who support banning Chick Fil-A’s: don’t like it when wheat goes around comes around, right? Don’t be surprised when cornered conservatives start to fight back, mmm-kay?

PING!

Oh, and I’d also support running them off campus because the taste of some of their blends reminds me of the times when I’ve driven through a construction zone where they were laying fresh asphalt.

It is great coffee, best coffee, only one I buy, until now. I will research this and if they really fund abortion, I will NEVER buy it again.

Thanks for the heads up!

...actually I love Starbucks coffee, but I am more than willing to find a replacement. Suggestions?????

Trader Joes has one we love, but it costs twice as much...
