Did you know that Krispy Kreme hates unborn children? It’s true; just look at this announcement of theirs (via Cara at Feministe):
“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.”
I’ll let the American Life League explain just how dastardly this is:
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.
I have an idea. Two days after the inauguration, January 22nd, is the 36th anniversary of Roe v. Wade. I hereby call for all like-minded folks to, in addition to collecting a free doughnut on the 20th, go to Krispy Kreme on the 22nd and pay for some more. Krispy Kreme may not have intended to make a statement about the right to choose, but I’m not about to pass up an opportunity to do so while eating doughnuts.
