            The Pizza Connection

Is a slice of the Domino's pie going to fund anti-abortion
activities?  Seems that way.  Appearing on a telethon last fall, Tom
Monaghan, president and founder of Domino's Pizza, of Ann Arbor,
Michigan, donated $50,000 to Michigan Right to Life's "Committee To
End Tax-Funded Abortions."  Their November referendum passed;
Medicaid-funded abortions are now barred in the state.

The donation from Monaghan, a devout Catholic, was "a personal
contribution," Domino's spokesman Ron Hingst said.  But searching
through state records, Zipper also uncovered a $10,000 gift to the
committee from Domino's Farms Corporation, a Monaghan-owned company
that, though separate from Domino's Pizza Inc., "obviously" makes
its money from pizza sales, Hingst said.

Domino's is also embroiled in a battle with the Ann Arbor chapter of
NOW.  Last May, the group alleges, Domino's Farms canceled a NOW
event at its publicly available facility after learning it would
raise pro-choice monies.  (A Right to Life fund-raiser had already
been held there.)  NOW filed a civil rights complaint, charging
religious discrimination; the case is pending.

I'm sure you all know that the CEO of Dominos, Tom Monaghan, is
anti-abortion.  More evidence has surfaced to verify that.  He is on
the board of directors of Franciscan University of Steubenville.  The
Dominos Foundation gave $195,888 to Franciscan Univ. and $15,000 to
the Human Life Center of Franciscan Univ.  Franciscan U. as the only
place in the country where it's possible to get a minor in
"pro-life activities".

"Steubies" are a common sight in front of clinics in Youngstown, OH
and Pittsburgh, PA.  The following advertisement for Franciscan
University will give you a flavor for the place.
