Jay Smooth has a few words to say about “Until Abortion Ends,” a site where anti-choicers pledge to give up something they love until abortion becomes illegal all over America. And by “something they love,” it seems they mostly mean “junk food.”
Because nothing says “solidarity with unborn children whom I believe to have souls and full Constitutional rights” like giving up sour Skittles or Diet Coke. I’m sure those unborn children with souls and full Constitutional rights are totally touched by your wrenching sacrifice, guys. If you really think abortion is murder, if you really think it is an abomination, if you really think that fetuses are unborn children with souls and full Constitutional rights, then, yeah, giving up Diet Coke seems like a proportional reaction to the fact that abortion is still legal. After all, this is Diet Coke we’re talking about here. It is fizzy and sweet and delicious, and abstaining from it until the murder stops does not cheapen the pro-life cause at all.
