Krispy Kreme and their vicious agenda!

I can't believe Goth missed this tugboat.

From Salon.com via Wonkette:

So Krispy Kreme has decided to offer a free doughnut to every customer next Tuesday in honor of Barack Obama's inauguration. Nice of them, no? Maybe not completely selfless, since they're probably figuring they'll end up selling more doughnuts that way, and besides, it's not exactly great for your waistline. But still -- no one can complain about a free, delicious Krispy Kreme, right?

Wrong.

The phrasing of the company's announcement -- "Krispy Kreme Doughnuts, Inc. is honoring Americans'... freedom of choice on Inauguration Day, by offering a free doughnut of choice to every customer" -- made Judie Brown, the president of American Life League, an antiabortion group, see red. So she released a statement in which she said:

The next time you stare down a conveyor belt of slow-moving, hot, sugary glazed donuts at your local Krispy Kreme, you just might be supporting President-elect Barack Obama's radical support for abortion on demand - including his sweeping promise to sign the Freedom of Choice Act as soon as he steps in the Oval Office, Jan. 20...

Just an unfortunate choice of words? For the sake of our Wednesday morning doughnut runs, we hope so. The unfortunate reality of a post Roe v. Wade America is that "choice" is synonymous with abortion access, and celebration of "freedom of choice" is a tacit endorsement of abortion rights on demand.

President-elect Barack Obama promises to be the most virulently pro-abortion president in history. Millions more children will be endangered by his radical abortion agenda.

Celebrating his inauguration with "Freedom of Choice" doughnuts -- only two days before the anniversary of the Supreme Court decision to decriminalize abortion -- is not only extremely tacky, it's disrespectful and insensitive and makes a mockery of a national tragedy...

As of Thursday morning, communications director Brian Little could not be reached for comment. We challenge Krispy Kreme doughnuts to reaffirm their commitment to true freedom - to the right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness - and to separate themselves and their doughnuts from our great American shame.

I don't think I've ever heard of anyone being described as "virulently pro" anything.

"Kris P. Creme"

HAHAHA!

I didn't realize pro-choice advocates had cornered the market on the word "choice". That's pretty cool! Now, nobody can ever use it again!

Hey, I'll be first in line for my free pro-choice donut!

God, I want to abolish the use of the words "abortion on demand" like I want to abolish the phrase "activist judges."

Guess what, America. We already HAVE abortion on demand.

O-bortion!

I'm going to get the donut and eat it whilst having an o-bortion!

Lol Phyllis!

This person is ridiculous, but a donut does sound quite tasty. Mmm.

I love how that makes the product sound even more delicious! Like I'd be thinking that, I'd be devouring the thing!

I support the woman's right to choose for herself.

I choose this one with chocolate on top that may have either custard or cream on the inside. Only one way to find out, and that's by keeping the government out of my uterus and sinking my teeth in!

... geez, that got awfully confused awfully quickly. O_O

I support "Donuts on Demand."

Just stay away from the holes. That's where the trouble starts.

Abortion on demand?

So, does that mean the guy who installed my Time Warner box can come get rid of an unwanted fetus with just the push of a button?

LoL at blaxx. And this whole post really. I love how some people can boil down this extremely complicated issue to a charicature of a man who wants to offer "abortion on demand" and endanger the lives of children. Me? Glad to know I get free donuts. Or doNUT. Singular. Either way - yummy. This plus the news of free Disneyland on birthdays makes this Jew a jolly one. :)

Yummy, now I've got a craving for a doughnut and an abortion.

Krispy Kreme announced that they will start selling morning-after donuts.

Yes. It's called the "Plan B-ear Claw"

I prefer my donuts to be impregnated with custard.
