Chick-Fil-A contributes to "Crisis Pregnancy Centers" here in NYC, which are all about convincing young women not to have abortions through sometimes disgustingly deceptive practices, like telling them abortions cause breast cancer, or that they'll have major psychological issues afterwards.

A lot of em don't even disclose that they're not genuine medical facilities unless you ask em.


I will never go to chick-fil-a ever again because their owner is pro-life. Thank you for enlightening me.

Are you telling me that there isn't an argument that some people have psychological issues after an abortion? Who ever thought that a Crisis Pregnancy Center was a medical facility? What is wrong with promoting adoption as an alternative? More than that, why do you ostracize someone for considering conception, not birth, as the time a human life should become protected? It's not arbitrary nor religious, so you should respect their right to disagree with abortion whether or not you agree to it. Why are you DEMONIZING them for doing what they feel is right when they are offering a genuine AGREEABLE alternative without eliminating the abortion option?

I will never go to chick-fil-a ever again because their owner is pro-life. Thank you for enlightening me.

If this is not a joke, you deserve to be laughed AT. Pro-life vs. Pro-choice is not the clear cut "stupid on one side" issue you make it out to be and behaving that way would be stupid.

Wow. What kind of brainwashing did your parents experience?

They hate people who believe life starts at conception?

no. that has nothing to do with it.


(ridiculous argument, btw...but that's besides the point. :p)

good? no

expensive yes. i dont why that place is so popular. ive been one time and it consisted of a dried out piece of chicken on a bun and a pickle.

I dunno. I don't really have complaints about the food quality. Sometimes the fries are iffy, but that's most fast food joints. McDonalds and Popeyes have the most consistent fries ime.

It has everything to do with a Pro-lifer's stance. If there's more to why your parents banned Domino's than just because the founder is Pro-life, then why the overly simplistic explanation? It's an unreasonable reaction to a reasonable disagreement.

The religious affiliations is just another nail in the coffin for me. I wouldn't reject an establishment on those terms alone, but combined with other things it would make me less inclined to patronize them.

I seriously hope you were being sarcastic.

If not...

What's wrong with believing that human life starts at conception? There's no point less arbitrary than that.

their attack on the fundamental right for a person to choose what to do with their own bodies? (you see, that's how I see it; yes, this requires that my understanding of conception is entirely different form theirs; and as a biologist, I tend to think that I have more functional knowledge than the typical pro-lifer) and by "not entirely that," I refer to other financial support outside of his pro-life views.

but you can keep going with this dickhole of an argument all you want; I'm going to stop here. Care all you want about why or why not I choose to do something, I could give two shits.


This thread is about chicken.

The rub is they actively try to enforce their views and restrict the actions of people who do not share their belief.

Focus on the Family isn't all crazy ol' Pat Robertson, who is understandably senile. They also produce kids shows, like Adventures in Odyssey. CFA has an Adventures in Odyssey kids meal and everyone goes nuts because they see the Focus on the Family name. Yes, I'm sure there was money exchanged but, if that was all, making it out like some kind of long-term funding arrangement is dishonest and I believe that may be what has happened here. Like most expressing outrage on the other side of the issue, I haven't researched it; maybe they do fund them; I don't really care because BOTH organizations mean well even if I disagree with SOME things SOME of their people have said. I disagree with Ray Croc's widow giving the largest charitable donation of all time to NPR, but I don't refuse to eat at McDonald's and demonize the Ronald McDonald Foundation or Ronald McDonald House Charities because of it.

there's nothing wrong with that--it's just highly inaccurate. I honestly don't care if someone believes that, but when they tout this as a scientific or medical fact, when it absolutely is not, and subsequently try to use bad science to enforce legislation, then there is absolutely something very wrong with that.

back to chicken.

get your political crazyiness out of the thread.

Like I mentioned earlier, I don't know the nature of the donations, but I'm sure it's likely blown out of proportion. As such, whenever I am near a Chik-fil-A, I will consume their products.

lol, mad at donating to NPR--the last remaining bastion of intelligent, critical thought on our airwaves?
