[Krispy Kreme is giving American customers their choice of free donut on Inauguration Day]
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.
[...]
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.'

Bill Hicks sayeth:
This is it, folks. This is the idea which has kept me virtually unknown for the past 16 years. I have watched my crowds dwindle. I am going nowhere, and nowhere quick, but, those of you who have children, I am sorry to tell you this, but they are not special. Wait! I know some of you are going "what, what?" Let me just clarify: I know YOU think they're special ... ha ha ha! I'm aware of that. I'm just here to tell you, that they're NOT! Ha ha ha ha! Sorry. Did you know that every time a guy comes he comes two-hundred million sperm? One out of TWO-HUNDRED MILLION that load, we're only talking about one load connected: gee, what are the fucking odds? Do you know what that means? I've wiped nations off've my chest with a grey gymsock. ENTIRE CIVILISATIONS HAVE FLAKED AND CRUSTED IN THE HAIR AROUND MY NAVEL! [...] I've tossed universes in my underpants while napping. Boom! A Milkyway shoots into my jockeyshorts: "Unngh ... what's for fucking breakfast?!"
@God: Bill Hicks FTW.
Also, given that PRESIDENT Obama is now PRESIDENT of the US, does this mean you're going to send the same letter to everyone flying the American flag, singing the national anthem, reciting the pledge of allegiance, or... well, doing anything that in any way expresses a positive opinion of the nation of which PRESIDENT Obama (I just can't stop saying that!) is the democratically elected leader?
Man, all of the sudden I feel like binging on McDonald's, Campbell's soup, Pepsi, and now Krispy Kreme. Pretty soon, fundies will starve. I wonder what will happen when they find out homosexuals drink water. Will they stop drinking water? I sure hope so.
"A misconstrued concept of 'choice' has killed over 50 million preborn children since Jan. 22, 1973."
Oh shit!!! "Just an unfortunate CHOICE of words?" Donuts AND words are now banned forever as they are linked to "abortion rights on demand" Where will it end??!!!!??? ......... does sign language or morse code count? Will we become a world of mimes? Also will creme puffs and eclairs be a part of this radical agenda?
These people are really fucking stupid.
DOH!
The stupid, it burns!
Did.. did they just equate the choice of a free donut to abortion? Did I read this correctly? I think they just said choosing a free donut was somehow reflective of abortion..
Why do they think they should be taken seriously when they spout such ridiculous nonsense?! What the hell?? Choosing what sort of donut you want for free = abortion?! What are they high on for THAT to make sense?!
There is no misconstruction in this definition of choice, a choice is to either have something or not have it, to have an abortion or not to have an abortion.
There are some thing in which no choice is allowed, you cannot choose to steal without consequences - you can either not steal or steal and face a punishment.
Right, because having your choice of donut is just evil. Hell, what if someone chose a glazed donut? What might that lead too? Hell, they might decide to get coffee with it. Not just any coffee, either. Coffee with cream and sugar!
Can you all just see where this is headed? We need to boycott Krispy Kreme immediately! Who's with me?
"Choice" is not exactly an uncommon word.
What else would they say? "Krispy Kreme is letting American customers select the donut they would like, of the available options?"
Also, it's not a misconstrued concept of choice. It offers somebody a choice as opposed to forcing them to take one option.
Straws.
You're grasping at them.
And you people don't give a fuck about them after they are born, except maybe to pray that they die before they reach a fuzzy non-defined age if you think they might grow up to be a nonchristian (As has been the case in the recent israeli attack on Gaza.)
You protest abortion, you claim the title of "pro-life", but then you turn around and approve if not outright endorse the bombings of abortion clinics and the murder of doctors who perform abortions and the assistants of those doctors, you play cheerleader for the death penalty, and you are silent while thousands, if not millions, are intentionally killed by order of the former president in a war of choice. So get the fuck up off of your high horse and get down here with the rest of the scum. You are not special, you are not better than the rest of us, you do not have the moral high ground, and last but not least, you do not have the right to dictate to others what they may or may not do with their own bodies.
Krispy Kreme sucks, American's don't know doughnuts for shit.
Sorry, but a facts a fact. Of course it's also a fact that being pro-choice does not mean run around pulling fetuses out of unsuspecting womens wombs.
'choice' is synonymous with abortion access
In the same way that 'drink' is associated with alcohol abuse, and 'take' is associated with armed robbery, and 'cut' is associated with killing your wife and cutting up the body so it will fit in the freezer.
Take your over-reacting arse, and stuff it. Preferably with something spikey.
So you hate the word "choice", huh?
This morning I had a CHOICE between cereal and a sweet roll.
Yesterday after work I had a CHOICE to play computer games or read a book.
The other day while shopping I had a CHOICE between a green dress and a black one.
Every evening I have the CHOICE to go out or stay in.
Every day I have a CHOICE of what to eat for dinner.
I have a CHOICE of whether to watch TV or DVDs, and after I've made that CHOICE, I have another CHOICE of which shows or DVDs to watch.
See what a mundane, ordinary word CHOICE can be when you're not single-mindedly obsessing over a single agenda?
"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.'"
If you hate freedom and choice that much, I presume you're Tweeting this whilst boarding the Air Koryo plane to Pyongyang? What's that? You're not? Well then, not only must you STFU, it only serves to expose your hypocrisy by the very fact you're choosing to stay in the USA, and exercise not only your freedom to choose, but your democratic right to choose to not move to North Korea, which doesn't have such nasty concepts as 'choice' and 'freedom'.
Certain women choose to have an abortion. Some people choose to believe in a 'God'. Some choose to not believe in such delusions. Some choose to take advantage of Krispy Kreme's generous celebrational free offer (pity there isn't a KK in the UK; not that I know of or in my locale, anyway :( ). Some choose not to. You choose to use doughnuts as a non-sequitur & irrelevance in a discussion on abortion, as is your right to in a democratic country which gives it's citizens Freedom & Choice. , and the right to exercise such. Just goes to prove what I always say:
Hypocrisy, thy name is Fundie.
...oh, and rest assured there won't be a branch of Krispy Kreme in Pyongyang.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
