"Who will pay to raise the baby, if it isn't aborted?"

Washington, DC (LifeNews.com) -- A pro-life group is calling on a national boycott of La Quinta Inn, a national chain of hotels, because a Wichita location offers discounted rates for women traveling to the Midwestern city to obtain late-term abortions. Wichita is home to infamous late-term abortion practitioner George Tiller, one of the few abortion practitioners in the country to perform very late-term abortions. As a result, women travel from across the region to obtain abortions at his office. When they do, the local La Quinta Inn, owned and operated by the national corporate office, offers discounts to stay for the 3-4 day-long abortion procedures. Members of Operation Rescue West say local pro-life advocates have "long known" that La Quinta Inn participated in housing women obtaining late-term abortions. However, the group claims Tiller uses the motel to as a "labor annex" to his abortion facility. At La Quinta Inn, Tiller is "maintaining a full-time nursing staff on site to monitor the women who have begun the 3-4 day abortion process, and even dispensing medication." Tiller's abortion process involves injecting the unborn child with a deadly drug. Later, women will begin contractions and give birth to the dead baby. "One has to wonder if the La Quinta has adequate medical malpractice insurance to cover any complications that may arise while women continue their abortion process at the hotel," said Troy Newman, President of Operation Rescue. Newman cited a botched abortion that occurred at Tiller's abortion business last week and similar botched abortions in the past as evidence that Tiller's arrangement with La Quinta Inn puts women at risk.

Bizarre. Why would La Quinta take such a self-destructive position?
Money.
Corporate Greed!
I won't be staying there on my next trip to San Diego.
I cannot comment without a string of vulgarities.
Let the boycott begin!
Uh, that's what I don't understand. How could such a policy hope to bring about a net profit? They will alienate half of their potential customer base, and they can't be making *that* much on discounted room charges for baby-killers.
How horrifying.
I used to like La Quinta and would stay there when I could.
No more.
La Quinta better respond with an explanation or they will be toast. We will never stay at another one in our travels.
"...they can't be making *that* much on discounted room charges for baby-killers."
And who the heck would want to stay in that hotel? With baby killing going on in the next room?
Maybe this was a local decision. I want to see what the home office has to say . Unless, LQ has an agenda I can't understand them agreeing to this. They will lose money.
"Who will pay to raise the baby, if it isn't aborted?"
I did some Googling, and this is apparently not a new issue... I found stuff about it going back to 2001, so LQ's home office is surely well aware of it.
Dear God in Heaven! Late term abortions are banned shouldn't they be charged with a crime, the crime is murder. And these women are the murderers, we are outraged by mothers who take their childrens lives well women who have abortions are murderers plain and simple. Anyone who feels sorry for the woman having an abortion are accomplices to murder.
I can't imagine why corporations/Hollywood "stars" can't just do what they do best and stay out of controversy and politics. I think LQ was on a downward slide before this. They certainly are not what they were.
Many hotels block rooms for local businesses that have clients coming in and out and give discounts. If they know who they are doing business with let the boycott begin but the manager may not. I am strongly against abortions but the day a motel clerk wants to know my business before I check into my room is the day I go to another hotel.
Im definitely in - isnt LaQuinta part of a bigger chain of hotels?
