It could be that they are looking for press exposure but I believe it is because they have nothing better to do than *****. If Crispy Cream were to say "We as an organization are pro choice, so bring us your receit from your abortion and get a free doughnut of your choice!" Then I would see a problem.errorfied said:
By the way saying a free doughnut of choice is better because not everyone has the same favorite doughnut.
Why do people use the terms pro choice and pro life? I support people making choices and people being alive! Shouldn't it be pro or anti abortion??
I know.Erana said:
I used to be one.
Sorry.
Seriously though. If this is real (internet sense, tingling) it's both hilarious and horrifying.
It's old news man. McDonalds has been supporting abortion for years. Hell how do you think they sell those bigmacs so cheap?TheHorizon said:
Yes, they are. I've had maybe a grand total of 2 in my whole life (they're hard to find around where I live) but I don't think it'd be a serious exaggeration to say they're the best thing I've ever eaten.Puppeteer Putin said:
Yes. It took you this long to realize? (coming from another American)Walrus42 said:
Laughing at the extremist protesters only encourages them to continue their actions. Ignore them or they will only shout even louder.
I will offer a word of defense on ALL's behalf. OP, I find your post irresponsible in that it only quote's KK's offer of a "doughnut of choice" as if that were what set ALL off. Since most of you probably did not read the link, here is the more damning 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."
The phrase "freedom of choice" is never and was never used in American speech unless referring to the support of abortion rights, and any American who is remotely politically astute would make the connection immediately upon hearing the phrase. It may not be what Krispy Kreme meant (though the statement makes little sense to begin with), but I believe that they are the more stupid party in this situation for not seeing the connection that could, and indeed was, made.

You fail. Three pages in, and I'm the first one.cuddly_tomato said:

I definitely have a question for you, Erana.Erana said:
I've heard similar statements being made by many abortion-rights supporters, including our president. What I would absolutely love to hear is: Why? Why are abortions a bad thing? If the fetus is not indeed a living person, and has no more importance than an appendix, why in the world would it be a "horrible and cruel" decision to make? I came down with appendicitis years ago, couldn't wait to get that thing out of my body, and felt huge relief when it was out of me. I suffered no "psychological effects" because the thing didn't matter.
If fetuses don't matter (as they mustn't, else you would have to admit that it is killing a living human being), why on Earth do you still admit that abortion is a bad thing?
Well..abortion is "making something dead". Also, many women DO want to get an abortion.errorfied said:
I am pro-choice though. it should be made especially easy in the overpopulated ghetto areas.
There should be less advertising for abortion though. But more for prevention. Abstinence, condoms, birth control. etc etc.
They are something living inside you- as alive as your individual cells, and have the potential to be something so precious. Women are ingrained with so many natural instincts that tell us to protect our children, even before they actually are truly human.Echo3Delta said:
And some people, both men and women, just have stronger parenting instincts than others and therefore are more strongly effected by abortion. Heaven forbid, but if I were to get pregnant now, I'd have an abortion because I could not be a good enough mother at this point in my life.
And it would tear me up inside. I can't really explain why, but just the thought of having to do so hurts me like thinking of the fact that my mother, someday, will die.
Sorry, Erana, but if a fetus is indeed a living organism (which it is, otherwise you couldn't kill it), it has to be something. It can't be not human and yet not anything else either; it has to be one thing. We can start with what we know:
It is a unique, living organism, therefore it can be classified. A quick look at its unique DNA sequence will identify it as homo-sapien AKA a human being.
"a human being as distinguished from an animal or a thing"
- one of the definitions of "person" according to Webster's.
"No person shall [...] be deprived of life, liberty, or property without due process of law [...]"
- Amendment 5 of the Bill of Rights
There are many people who cause me major negative psychological effects, but I don't have, nor do I seek, the right to kill them. The only way to legally kill a fetus under the Constitution is for it first to be convicted of a capital crime by a jury of its peers. I don't know who was on the Supreme Court when Roe V. Wade came through, but they obviously had a problem with the English language.
BTW, note the complete absence of religiosity in this argument.
