The 49th annual March for Life will take place on Friday in Washington, D.C., as pro-lifers continue to work towards ending abortion in the United States. Multiple pro-life events will be taking place in the D.C. area, including an event for supporters of Democrats for Life (DFLA). However, the restaurant that had scheduled DFLA’s event canceled and later confirmed that it was a decision based in viewpoint discrimination.<\/p>\n

Busboys and Poets was the location for a planned DFLA supporter breakfast, but on January 11, DFLA announced that the establishment had canceled when it realized DFLA is pro-life and had planned a breakfast for its donors and supporters.<\/p>\n

“This year, we were really excited to hold a breakfast at Busboys and Poets for our supporters,” DFLA wrote in an email to supporters. “We worked to find the venue, get the word out, and make the arrangements.\u00a0But, today, we were informed that, because we are pro-life, we are not welcome in that establishment. We have officially been canceled.”<\/p>\n

It was a very disappointing call today. The Catering Manager specifically mentioned that Planned Parenthood holds events there. Could they be the ones that complained? https:\/\/t.co\/hDbR8jF3dq<\/a><\/p>\n
