Complaints lead Chili’s restaurant in Sacramento to cancel Planned Parenthood fundraiser
(The following story was provided to California Catholic Daily by Wynette Sills in Sacramento.)
Chili’s Grill & Bar, which has more than 1,500 restaurants in 31 countries and two U.S. territories, cancelled a recent fundraiser for Planned Parenthood in Sacramento after a tidal wave of customer opposition to funding the abortion giant.
According to a spokesperson for Chili’s parent company, Brinker International, Inc., “The event was cancelled after hearing growing concerns from our guests.”
Sacramento-area pro-life spokeswoman Wynette Sills, responded, “The Chili’s fundraiser for Planned Parenthood was brought to my attention on Wednesday, July 27, the night before the event. By the next morning, Chili’s decided to cancel the Planned Parenthood fundraiser due to guest complaints.”
The cancellation is a significant and abrupt change of opinion for the restaurant chain, as the fundraiser flyer originally proclaimed, “Chili’s proudly supports Planned Parenthood” and invited customers to bring in the promotional flyer so that Chili’s would donate 15 percent of the customer’s bill to the Planned Parenthood Mar Monte’s Sacramento chapter.
According to a corporate statement, “The manager at this location had the best of intentions when organizing this event, and deeply regrets upsetting our valued guests.”
Although always eager to raise additional funds, Planned Parenthood Mar Monte declared total revenues of more than $84 million in 2008, most of which was derived from tax dollars.
Management of Chili’s in the Sacramento neighborhood of Natomas received numerous calls expressing concerns about the restaurant donating money to Planned Parenthood, which performs over 330,000 abortions every year. Planned Parenthood performs abortions on 97% of the pregnant women who come into their business. Nationwide, Planned Parenthood clinics have failed to report alleged child sexual abuse and human trafficking.
