Articles relating to the proposed relocation of three Pro-Life booths from heavily-trafficked areas to a building where few fair attendees venture:
Here are the facts:
This is not an issue of discrimination this is an issue about business. I called not ten minutes ago and the fair said that they are taking all non-profits, pro-life groups, pro-choice groups and finally politicians who had previously been in the exhibitor hall and putting them in a separate location apart from businesses. That’s the story. That’s it.
They are not making one rule for pro-life groups and one for pro-choice groups like some are asserting.
There is no ghetto – and even if there were – calling it a ‘religious ghetto’ is absurd because there will be pro-life groups, pro-choice groups, and politicians in said ghetto.
The fair seemed pretty open and willing to try work things out, yet it is these noisy, victimhood-claming pro-life groups who are whining like children and claiming they are being singled out. Yet, I REPEAT!!!!! They are putting politicians, and pro-life and pro-choice, and non for profits who would have previously been mixed with business now separate from businesses and in an exhibitor hall (or tent). Businesses are going in another area.
The fair is being completely unbiased towards non-for profit groups alike and treating them all the same.
