Coffee Shop Owner Defies Anti-Abortion Group | Boise News

Published 4 days, 22 hours ago
Description

A coffee shop owner in Idaho, Jim Sheehan, sparked national outrage after telling anti-abortion activists they couldn’t hold a meeting at his cafe—leading to viral videos, doxxing, and death threats. He stood firm, saying he supports abortion access and won’t host events for causes he opposes, despite his shop’s inclusive reputation. Surprisingly, backlash turned into support: sales skyrocketed, and customers flooded in from across the country. When asked to compare the group to the KKK, he called it “a poor analogy” but affirmed he’d never endorse groups whose beliefs he finds morally repugnant—like racism or denying bodily autonomy.
