Pro-Life Group up in Arms over Krispy Kreme's Abortion Doughnuts

Quote:

"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."

Well, The American Life League noticed the liberal use of the word choice and decided to blast the chain bakery for producing abortion doughnuts.

note: please no pro-life/pro-choice arguing itt.

Since when did the phrase "freedom of choice" become an automatic reference to abortion? People are way too sensitive.

What's funny is, in the actual press release from Krispy Kreme, they literally just say "by offering a free doughnut of choice to every customer on this historic". I guess according to the group anytime anyone uses the word "choice" they are talking about abortion. This is so insane, they are demonizing a company for no reason. I am certain that Krispy Kreme just mean "in celebration of democracy (which is inherently freedom of choice), we are allowing our customers a free doughnut of their choice (as in glazed, chocolate, sprinkles, cream filled etc...).

Everyone at the organization needs to be shot so they don't pass on THEIR genes.

Well, exactly. It's not even worth having to say "I'm certain". It's that absurd a leap. These people don't need to be rebutted or refuted, they need to be ignored for the buffoons that they are.

Pro-lifers are taking it as an attack because the March for Life is this Thursday.

How is a company giving out free donuts an attack on their position?

God dammit, the title lead me to believe that Krispy Kreme were going to be giving out some sort of shriveled, wet, pink donuts with a long strand of dough trailing from its midsection and call them Abortion Donuts or something.

I think we all understand HOW they made the link; we just all think it's absolutely absurd. (And it is.)

Well, incidentally, I agree with you, but I don't tihnk calling them stupid and ignoring them is the way to deal with them (unless we're talking about these jokers). People against abortion need to be met with caring, intelligent, humanistic arguments to show them why they are stupid.

I don't think the opinion of pro-life is dumb, I think it is valid and a matter of personal opinion. However, I do think that pro-life groups and agencies are retarded. That is what I meant.

Well you might should.

You might could also benefit from being a little less standoffish when what's more pertinent is the fact that you're talking down to people who didn't do anything to deserve it this time. So save the attitude and condescention for Flames, bud.

I like reading the comments.

Here are some of the more amusing ones:

Quote:

if they were abortion donuts, i don't think i'd want one. i assume they'd be taking them out of the oven way too early.

Quote:

*LIBRUL ELITIS T BULLETIN*

COMING NEW TO KRISPY KREME--fetus-filling doughnuts!!
Feed your baby-hating, pagan-worshiping, black soul with these new and delicious doughnuts with FETUS filling*. Because nothing helps a liberal unwind from a day of fighting for civil rights, universal healthcare, and environmental protection than devouring the life source of BABEHS!!

Life begins at confection y'all!

Quote:
