A new concept: "Pro Abortion-Doughnuts"
KRISPY KREME CELEBRATES OBAMA WITH PRO-ABORTION DOUGHNUTS

Washington, DC (15 January 2009) – The following is a statement from American Life League president, Judie Brown.

"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.

The doughnut giant released the following statement yesterday:

Krispy Kreme Doughnuts, Inc. (NYSE: KKD) is honoring American's sense of pride and freedom of choice on Inauguration Day, by offering a free doughnut of choice to every customer on this historic day, Jan. 20. By doing so, participating Krispy Kreme stores nationwide are making an oath to tasty goodies -- just another reminder of how oh-so-sweet "free" can be.

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.

A misconstrued concept of "choice" has killed over 50 million preborn children since Jan. 22, 1973. Does Krispy Kreme really want their free doughnuts to celebrate this "freedom.""

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."

(best part: this was sent to me by a Catholic priest who was laughing his ass off, and probably headed to the Krispy Kreme as soon as he read it)

1. First they came for the babies, then they came for the donuts.

4. Why does this have to be about abortion?
Maybe the heads of Krispy Kreme like Devo?

7. First of all, pro-choice and "pro-abortion" are two different things
Is Krispy Kreme calling them "pro abortion" donuts? I doubt it.

However this plays out, I hope Krispy Kreme does not get intimidated by the right wing nuts.

8. neither
According to Krispy Kreme it is to celebrate Inauguration Day,
nothing to do with abortion or reproductive choice.

It’s the RW crazies that think it has to do with abortion.

9. If someone doesn't want a doughnut they can choose not to have one
But they may not interfere with my right to choose to have a doughnut. SCOTUS settled this years ago in Dough v. Glaze...

10. With Krispy Kreme you don't get much of a choice-
Their donuts are pretty much all the same. Now, Dunkin Donuts, that's a pro-choice donut dealer.

11. dammit
I can’t decide whether to eat a donut that celebrates abortions from Krispy Kreme or one that celebrates terrorists and their fashion choices from Dunkin’ donuts.
Help.

17. Krispy Kreme or not all doughnuts, ...
... except for jelly and bavarian cream, have had abortions. Think about it, the "hole" is removed before the doughnut is cooked.

18. Ok! I'm off to Krispy Kreme! Or it might be Dunkin Donuts.
Hey! I got a freedom of choice here! KK or DD ?

KK's available closer but not from a KK store. DD's store is closer than KK's but they don't have KK's distribution around here.

Choices, choices, choices.

Reminds me of that picture:



Or the change we chose?



Yep, we have a buff-enough President.
