Pro-Life Group up in Arms over Krispy Kreme's Abortion Doughnuts
By Kyle Munzenrieder in Politicks

Krispy Kreme, being the genial purveyor of glazed goodness that it is, decided
to get in on the Obama inauguration craze and is offering one free doughnut to
every costumer on January 20, Inauguration day, and released this seemingly
innocuous press release:
"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.
"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," the group's president, Judie
Brown said in a statement.
File this under "Overreactionary Wing Nuts" and another attempt of
conservatives to redefine words for their political means (You can try to
rewrite the Constitution, but not the dictionary). Of course, the
"overreactionary libtard" counter to this is that conservatives want to
demonize all choice from America until we're living under a fundamentalist
dictatorship. A fundamentalist dictatorship without doughnuts.
The full, completely unbelievable press release follows after the jump.
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.
"American Life League was cofounded in 1979 by Julie Brown. It is the
largest grassroots Catholic pro-life organization in the United States and is
committed to the protection of all innocent human beings from the moment of
creation to natural death."
