![Food Network’s Mario Batali Dares Abortion Rights Foes to Boycott His Restaurants]()
Food Network star and restaurateur *Mario Batali* created a social media stir earlier this week when he tweeted his support for the *Sarah Silverman*/*Lizz Winstead* co-hosted "Clear Eyes, Full Hearts, Can Choose" telethon, then responded to attacks by abortion rights foes and other critics. Batali eventually signed off from the fight on Tuesday, but the Twitter onslaught continued Wednesday, when the Iron Chef took the unusual step of encouraging foes of abortion rights to boycott his restaurants.
