Starbucks just joined a growing list of companies that promise to give their female employees money to abort their unborn babies.
On Monday, the coffee company said it will begin paying travel costs for pregnant employees if they have to travel at least 100 miles for an abortion, UPI reports. The new “benefit” applies to employees and dependents covered by the company’s health insurance plan, according to the report.
“Regardless of what the Supreme Court ends up deciding, we will always ensure our partners have access to quality health care,” Starbucks spokesperson Sara Kelly told employees, according to the AP.
The announcement was not a surprise to pro-life advocates, many of whom have been boycotting the Seattle-based company for years because of its contributions to the Planned Parenthood abortion chain.
Starbucks joins Amazon, Citigroup, Apple, Yelp, Levi Strauss and other companies that are giving their pregnant employees money for abortions in response to state pro-life laws. MarketWatch reports DoorDash and Tesla recently announced similar plans….
The above comes from a May 16 story in LifeNews.
If you like expensive frou frou coffee, support your local independent coffee business (which isn’t likely to be publicly involved in abortion advocacy or pay for their employees to travel to kill their babies). Even Peet’s Coffee, started in radical Berkeley in the 1960’s, is not on the list of companies paying for abortion travel (at least yet).
friends don’t let friends drink corporate coffee!
Viva Cristo Rey, Juan Valdez.
Look, if I want a grande mocha frappuccino, I’m getting one. Especially on these hot days caused by global warming.
Another great reason for never going to Starbucks again.
We all “know” by now that “men can get pregnant.”
But: it seems that Starsucks could lower their
corporate cost structure by hiring more men and fewer women.
Hey wait!! That’s discrimination!
Keep drinking the kool-aid ……I mean corporate coffee.
Juan, mi amigo, remember you could be out hand-picking Colombian beans and next thing you. know, you might find yourself pregnant.
Now that men can get pregnant, I guess we need access to abortion, I mean “health care.”
Juan, I thought you were kidding, until I saw this:
https://www.foxnews.com/politics/house-committee-witness-men-get-pregnant-have-abortions
A Dem (Dim) Wit(ness) tells Congress men can get pregnant and have abortions:
A Democrat witness testifying before the House Judiciary Committee on abortion rights declared that men can get pregnant and have abortions. Aimee Arrambide, the executive director of the abortion rights nonprofit Avow Texas, was asked by Rep. Dan Bishop, R-N.C., to define what “a woman is,” to which she responded, “I believe that everyone can identify for themselves.” “Do you believe that men can become pregnant and have abortions?” Bishop asked. “Yes,” Arrambide replied.
Once again, Democrats refuse to “follow the science.” Our Catholic president is too old to get pregnant, but is our Catholic governor using “protection” and having “safe sex?” You never know (what might happen).
Democrats are the party of lunacy. How about driving at 90 MPH and saying that your car and you identify that as only being 30 MPH? That’s about as insane as saying that men can be pregnant. Yet that’s what the dumb Dems are now saying and teaching kids.
At least these businesses are making it easy for people to know not to patronize them.
Overpriced Swill
Time for my cup of Mystic Monk Coffee (made by Carmelite monks in Wyoming) or Abbey Roast (made by the Benedictine Monks of Our Lady of Guadalupe Monastery in New Mexico). They don’t pay for abortion.
And, may we all “wake up” to the horror of abortion and continue to work to protect babies and their mothers and all impacted by mass killings. Like William Wilberforce and others who worked to abolish the British slave trade, we have to be willing to work over the long haul. May life once again be respected, even before you and I are laid to rest. Maybe we can take a cue from those who serve us as Navy SEALs:
“I humbly serve as a guardian to my fellow Americans always ready to defend those who are unable to defend themselves. I will never quit. If knocked down, I will get back up, every time. I will draw on every remaining ounce of strength to protect my teammates and to accomplish our mission. I am never out of the fight.”
Make sure you get your Mistic Monk through Fr. Z’s website.
Fr. Z is quasi-schismatic. Stay away from him and don’t support him. The guy is a rent-a-priest who cons people into supporting him through blog donations, yet he has no legitimate priestly ministry. Besides he supports the TLM, which is being phased out, so why listen to him or follow him about anything?
Fr. Z is not what a Catholic priest is supposed to be. He is not ministering to Christ’s flock. He is ministering to himself.
So he can afford to buy those $8 cans of gourmet tomatoes?
I don’t discriminate. I listen to websites from Bishop Barron’s Rosary to Michaell Matt’s Remnant, and even those of other rites. You cannot get at the truth, unless you hear people out. One thing about Fr. Z; when everyone is throwing accusations right and left on the internet, Fr. Z; remains levelheaded as far as I am concerned, in spite of the fact he needs to watch his weight. But olive oil, garlic and a little wine are good for the heart. He does need to slow at his Latin Mass, goes too fast, probably because he knows Latin well.
Gluttony is a capital vice
He is a chief, you know, and good chiefs do have expensive tastes. Probably does not pay eight dollars a can, though, at all. When people work in canneries or know people who work in canners, they get very good deals. The same with any stores, including clothing stores. When one store gets the overstock of another store, often the merchandise is sold for half the prices.
Chief or chef?
i’ve followed your comments for years, Anne TE.
and all i “can” say is: you’re one smart tomatoe!
or is that tomato?
People in glass houses, Dan Quale, should not make fun of other people’s spelling. I have no spell check on here, and sometimes I cannot even see if I have typed a colon or a semi-colon I am so far back from the computer. Well, Dan, Fr. Z is chief at Latin and a chef at cooking, or is it the other way around? Maybe he is a chief cook and Latin chef, except I think he is of Northern European extraction.
In addition to Mystic Monk and Abbey Roast, there are a few other Catholic-run coffee companies: Guadalupe Roastery, Catholic Coffee and River Road Coffees. Did you know that at one time coffee was seen as sinful because it came from Muslims and infidels? Thanks to Pope Clement VIII, he clarified that confusion. And, after the Boston Tea Party, coffee became the drink of a fledgling United States, whose people now drink more coffee than others. See the link below for a brief video, if you’re interested:

And, according to the Capuchin Franciscans, cappuccino is named in their honor:
On the eve of the Battle of Vienna (1683), which was crucial to halting the advance of Turkish forces into Europe, Friar Marco rallied the Catholics and Protestants to defend their country. Following the incredible victory, the Viennese reportedly found sacks of coffee abandoned by the Turks. Finding it far too strong for their tastes, they diluted it with whipped cream and spices. The drink being of a brown color similar to that of Marco’s Capuchin habit, the Viennese named it “cappuccino” in honor of their beloved friar.
