I Want You to Eat a Taco, Drink a Beer, and Fund Abortion
RH Reality Check ^ | August 21, 2014 | Andrea Grimes

Posted on 08/23/2014 6:00:46 AM PDT by Pinkbell

The Taco or Beer Challenge couldn’t be simpler: You eat a taco and/or drink a beer, and you donate to an abortion fund. The only ice you’ll need for this challenge is the ice in your cooler, or maybe the ice in your water if you get a particularly spicy taco.

(Snip)

I started the Taco or Beer Challenge on Monday as something of a Twitter joke, after hearing about the “ice bucket challenge” that’s been growing in popularity as celebrities and plebes alike film themselves dumping buckets of ice-cold water on themselves, sometimes to hilarious effect, in support of funding ALS research.

What do ice buckets have to do with ALS? I don’t know. What do tacos and beer have to do with abortion? I don’t know that either.

What I do know is that eating tacos and drinking beer is more pleasurable than getting doused with ice water, and that lawmakers around the country are passing increasingly restrictive anti-abortion access laws. Which means abortion funds are now more necessary than ever as legal abortion becomes harder than ever to access—especially for those of us who don’t live in major urban centers.

Tacos and beer, of course, remain as vital to our human happiness as they ever were. The solution is clear: Eat tacos, drink beer, and donate to abortion funds.

Because abortion stigma is real, I know it can be hard to make that first abortion fund donation. It’s one thing to support abortion in theory, and a whole other thing to actually help pay for someone else’s—a total stranger’s, most likely—abortion. There’s a strong cultural narrative that tells us people who get abortions are bad, irresponsible, or cruel. That they are undeserving of care and understanding. That they are confused or heartless.

That narrative f*cking sucks. Abortion is common. Abortion is normal. And abortion is safest when it is legal and accessible—something abortion funds help to ensure in an increasingly hostile political climate. There’s nothing shameful about having an abortion, and nothing shameful about funding abortion. It’s so not-shameful, in fact, that you can be the kind of regular ol’ human being who eats a taco or drinks a beer and funds abortion.

Horrible and absolutely disgusting. Encouraging people to have a taco and drink to a beer and then proceed to donate money so an unborn child is killed? Evil. These people will stuff their faces and laugh about sticking it to the pro-life crowd, and meanwhile, in a room in a clinic somewhere, an unborn child will be suctioned in pieces out of what should be the safest place in the world - his/her own mother's womb. It's easy to drink beer and eat tacos when you don't have to see it, when you aren't the one it is happening to.

I saw that Newsweak did an article about this as that is where I was linked to this.

Even sadder are some of the comments like this one:

I put this front and center on my blog. What a hoot. What a way to raise money for women in need of assistance. What a great way to stick it to the fetus freaks. They are quite annoyed.

A dedicated pro-lifer showed up and got into a long argument with the abortion freaks.

The Ice Bucket Challenge involves donating to ALS, which funds research of embryonic stem cells, I’m against that too.

Toasts to rape and incest by the hookup generation.

“All I wanted was a Pepsi!”

The Democrats’ war on women and children continues.

I think I'm already funding abortion. It's called Obamacare.

Oh, I'm funding euthanasia also. This 21st century really rocks. [/s]

The pro-abort crowd needs nannies and doormen, just not too many of them.

Is “eating tacos” a delicate reference to the debauchery of the elite?

That they are confused or heartless.

As illustrated here by Andrea Grimes herself.

Abortion is common.

So is child abuse. Doesn't make it right.

Not if you're Charlie Manson, or one of his followers.

Better to be a “fetus freak” or a “Jude lover” than a damn nazi.

Bernadine Dorhn thought it was funny that one of the Manson family stabbed a pregnant woman in the belly and then ate their capitalist pig food.

I think I'm already funding abortion. It's called ObamaCare.

No other organization can lay greater claim to that victory than National right to Life.

If it hadn't been for their blackmailing of Republican House members we would not even have ObamaCare.

Mm-hm, be a “regular ol’ human being” and have a beer and taco to support abortion so that somebody else will never become a a “regular ol’ human being” and have a beer and taco.

These people have such a severe disconnect.

Makes me want to swear off Mexican food for a while.

I shudder to think what the homosexual activist crowd will do.

Because abortion stigma is real, I know it can be hard to make that first abortion fund donation. It’s one thing to support abortion in theory, and a whole other thing to actually help pay for someone else’s—a total stranger’s, most likely—abortion. There’s a strong cultural narrative that tells us people who get abortions are bad, irresponsible, or cruel. That they are undeserving of care and understanding. That they are confused or heartless.

This paragraph is rather ironic, first pointing out that abortion carries a stigma, and then listing the very reasons *why* it carries the stigma. As long as abortion continues to be the snuffing of a human life by those who can't be bothered to exercise a little responsibility, it will continue to carry a stigma.

Little miss Andrea, I wonder if you are aware that the hundreds of dollars spent killing *one* innocent baby is enough to pay for contraceptives to prevent human lives for years? For example, $400 wasted an murdering one baby could pay for 3 years of "the pill" (at $9 per month). A little responsibility goes a long way.

P.S. Andrea, I sincerely hope that your abortions leave you unable to conceive, sooner rather than later. A woman who can kill so easily cannot be a fit mother, and no child deserves to be raised by such a ghoul.
