In Free Inaugural Doughnuts, Abortion Foes See Ploy

Krispy Kreme stores will honor Barack Obama’s inauguration and Americans’ “freedom of choice” with free doughnuts tomorrow, to the dismay of at least one anti-abortion group, the Chicago Tribune reports. “Celebration of ‘freedom of choice’ is a tacit endorsement of abortion rights on demand,” the American Life League said. The doughnut-maker said its promotion was “not about any social or political issue.”

“The next time you stare down a conveyor belt of slow-moving, hot, sugary glazed donuts at your local Krispy Kreme,” said ALL President Judie Brown, “you just might be supporting President-elect Barack Obama’s radical support for abortion on demand.” (More Barack Obama stories.)
