A Washington, D.C. restaurant which is known for its progressivism canceled a breakfast for a group of anti-abortion Democrats this week after the owners learned that the anti-abortion Democrats were actually anti-abortion.

The group is known as, Democrats for Life of America, which aims to express themselves. But it seems there was a shock when the restaurant agreed to join the group.

The Washington Free Beacon reported that a young man and Poets had agreed to host a DFLA breakfast several months ago, but the owners suddenly changed their minds about the group this week.

A representative of the boys and Poets told Beacon it was a "safe space" for ideas, but it was not ready to open its doors to those who oppose abortion, even if they are Democrats.

"While we welcome conversations from individuals expressing different perspectives and we are proud to be a forum for respectful dialogue between different groups, we are also a safe haven," Busboys and Poets said. "Therefore, we cannot accept the events that are being discussed to address the agenda that many of our community members believe is depriving other members of the community of their rights."

Kristen Day with DFLA accused a restaurant owner of insulting her when she received a phone call informing her that no breakfast would be served to her and her fellow Democrats opposing abortion next week.

"Progressives talk about including everyone, but then they fire people because of what they believe," Day told Beacon. "It strongly contradicts what the message should be conveyed."

Busboys and Poets describe themselves as "a cultural hub for artists, activists, writers, thinkers, and content creators."
