Pro-life group slams Krispy Kreme for baby-killing treats

Krispy Kreme is offering free doughnuts on Inauguration Day, and one antiabortion group thinks there's a malicious secret agenda behind it.

The letters thread is now closed.

Fluoride in the doughnuts?

Perhaps the American Life League is onto something.

Is Krispy Kreme trying to poison our precious bodily fluids?

Friday, January 16, 2009 10:07 AM

Oh for kriminey sake

Okay, buy your donuts from Dunkin' Donuts - they're now owned by the Carlisle Group a long standing republican favorite. Okay? Now STFU!

Krispy Kreme's plan...

1. Promote abortions via free donuts

2. ???

3. Profit

2. Big Pharma and Krispy Kreme develop the "morning after doughnut". It even comes with sprinkles.

So, if I'm not getting the standard glazed Krispy Kreme doughnut...

...then I'm killing children? Would it just be safer if Krispy Kreme offered only one style of doughnut? And how do condoms enter into this? I don't get it.

Friday, January 16, 2009 10:17 AM

Sure, it's ridiculous...

... and it's why I come to Salon.com, to see the hypocrites and lunatics of the (mainly) the right exposed - but this is over the line, why spread this whacko's message?

So American Life League

is channeling PETA?

Friday, January 16, 2009 10:19 AM

Note to self:

Do not ever use the word 'choice' around this attention whore.

Friday, January 16, 2009 10:20 AM

Anyone want to chip in?

I'd like to buy a big box of three dozen Krispy Kreme donuts (one for each year since Roe v. Wade) and have them delivered to Judie Brown at the American Life League on Jan. 20. Who's in?

OK, everybody sing!

A victim of collision on the open sea

Nobody ever said that life was free

Sank, swam, go down with the ship

But use your freedom of choice

I'll say it again in the land of the free

Use your freedom of choice

Your freedom of choice

In ancient Rome there was a poem

About a dog who found two bones

He picked at one

He licked the other

He went in circles

He dropped dead

Freedom of choice

Is what you got

Freedom of choice!

Then if you got it you don't want it

Seems to be the rule of thumb

Don't be tricked by what you see

You got two ways to go

I'll say it again in the land of the free

Use your freedom of choice

Freedom of choice

Freedom of choice

Is what you got

Freedom of choice!

In ancient Rome

There was a poem

About a dog

Who found two bones

He picked at one

He licked the other

He went in circles

He dropped dead

Freedom of choice

Is what you got

Freedom from choice

Is what you want

Oh, was that "not only extremely tacky...disrespectful...insensitive and mak[ing] a mockery of a national tragedy?" Too f'in bad.

Well, I'm off to get some delicious Krispy Kremes!

Friday, January 16, 2009 10:21 AM

(eye roll)

Someone should really tell groups like this that making pathetic mountains out of molehills really undercuts your credibility.

On second thought...don't tell them.

Oh- and did you know that Proctor and Gamble is run by the Church of Satan!?!? Look it up!!!

Friday, January 16, 2009 10:21 AM

The corollary to this insanity is...

... that pro-lifers are against all forms of individual choice and free will. Which is pretty much what I'd always suspected anyway. LOL

These people have been on restricted diets way too long

Other conservative nutcases caused Dunkin Donuts to pull Rachael Ray ads last spring because they thought she was sending pro-terrorist messages with a black and white scarf.

Krispy Kreme was one of the companies that offered something free on election day, if you voted. They just seem to be continuing that pro-democracy (and must have been good marketing) tradition.

Friday, January 16, 2009 10:26 AM

WTF?

you just might be supporting President-elect Barack Obama's radical support for abortion on demand

Uhhhh, radical? Isn't that the law of the land right now? Which right to lifers are obstructing? Why does anyone ever listen to these criminal groups?

Friday, January 16, 2009 10:27 AM

RobinS

The best part about conservatives making Dunkin Donuts pull the Rachel Ray ad is that Dunkin Donuts is owned by the Carlisle group. One of the major people in the Carlisle group is George H.W. Bush.

The international conspiracy to sap and impurify all of our precious bodily fluids.

These wingnuts are totally incapable of seeing themselves as others see them.

Utterly self-absorbed and delusional, what a great combination for a political movement.

Friday, January 16, 2009 10:29 AM

Free Donuts!

Back when Albuquerque had two - TWO! - Krispy Kremes, you'd always get a free donut when you walked in.

But for some reason, they went bankrupt and closed ...

Friday, January 16, 2009 10:34 AM

Outlaw abortion! It's baby murder!

And let's jail every woman who's ever had an abortion!

And let's jail every boyfriend or husband who supported those abortions, as accomplices to murder!

And let's jail every mother or father or best friend or acquaintance who knew about those abortions, also as accomplices.

And let's conduct criminal investigations of every woman who's had a miscarriage to determine if they played a part in those miscarriages, by dint of not resting enough or resting to much.

Yeah, let's build more prisons and more prisons and more prisons!

For the baby Jesus.

@Chris Sinnard

Taco Bell already beat Krispy Kreme to the punch in the battle of morning after junk food:

http://www.theonion.com/content/node/29938

But I'd expect nothing less from a company trying to get Americans comfortable with the idea of Mexican culture - clearly tacit support of illegal immigration!

I suppose Judie Brown should be reminded that President-elect Obama has made it clear on numerous occasions that he actually wants to DECREASE abortions through better sex education, but that he wants the ones that occur to be safe so as to minimize death of the woman. She got the memo... right?

Friday, January 16, 2009 10:38 AM

Only Liberals and perverts eat donuts.

Just look at them!

Disgusting.

It's a torus and that baleful gaping hole is just disturbing, purient and creepy.

And their name! I challenge anyone to find a "Krispy" donut anywhere. As for "Kreme" what more do you have to say? No wonder 12 year olds have tongue piercings and wear Porn Star shirts - it's the damned DONUTS!

If you do a study using donuts and bearclaws you will find that bearclaws do not induce their consumers to depravity, prostitution, pornography and abortion. As for DONUTS, I don't have to tell anyone the results, because you all know, because you have eating donuts and you are trapped in a maelstorm of perversion, sexual addiction and if you are a woman, you jsut can't wait to have an abortion after having a cup of coffee and a DONUT.

I hate donuts. They have led me and many others to ruin and perdition. Don't be like and fall prey to the doughy torus of hell for through that hole will poor your dreams, aspirations and wealth.

Just look at Homer Simpson.
