Oh for fuck's sake! Can't they go back to showing me pictures of mutilated fetuses?

Wow, that so very American.

And hey, speaking of saving life, by abstaining from the heady allure of Taco Bell it looks like they inadvertently will be prolonging their own.

See... that is real commitment. I just couldn't do that. That's asking too much of a person.

And I'm OK with that. It will probably be good for their health to cut that crap from their diet.

If they were really serious about such a pledge, they wouldn't have eaten what they ordered.

10: You'd think so, but I just spent a half hour clicking through other "Until Abortion Ends" videos, with people giving up Goldfish crackers and Coca-Cola and video games.

Unlike MacCrocodile, I love this idea, and prefer it to posters of dead fetuses. Keep the abortion fascists in a closed loop of sacrifice, quietly not eating Taco Bell or drinking Coke until abortion ends. Good luck with that.

Two of the most intelligent and well-spoken advocates for the anti-abortion cause I've seen yet!

Just so long as I don't have to eat Taco Bell to keep abortion safe, legal and available I'm ok with this.

Having been raised Mormon my guess is this is based on the idea of self sacrifice making it more likely that Jeebus will fulfill your prayers. Which is hilarious since supposedly Jeebus is the one who really hates it when people act responsibly with regards to procreation.

I doubt we'll ever see the video of when they fall off the wagon.

"Er . . . it doesn't REALLY count because it's one of those KFC/Taco Bell hybrids!"

What did I miss? Is TacoBell offering an abortion with a soft taco and side of Guacamole?

No more taco bell until they stop using silicon/sand filler in the meat stuffs they use.

@11 Well...they sure looked like ironic hipsters to me...but if you say so.
So what should my counter statement be? Have lots of abortions until Taco Bell stops? No. NO! I won't! I need my tacos and my abortions! Can't the two live in peace??

This is great and certainly beats the movie screen sized dead fetuses they parade around on college campuses. And, it is fucking hilarious.

I'm vowing to never eat human shit until the American flag changes to a picture of a Tranny rubbing her smooth balls on Bill Clinton's face while he circle jerks with Ron Paul and Eddie Vedder. This is going to be the hardest 3 years of my life.

NO WAY she's not going to last. he probably will, just because he's like that, but look at her. she seems so upset, yet, not committed. my guess is it could be 1 year. then, guiltily, with her next taco bell loving boyfriend, she will secretly be in the drive through one night. her guilt will consume her like a dostoyevsky character. she will apologize to God profusely, repent. then she will get pregnant, marry, have 4 or 5 kids with a douchebag husband, and eventually die never knowing what mexican food actually tastes like. OR she could try real mexican food within her first year of giving up taco bell, and that could lead her on a whole new sinful path she never knew existed.

Apparently praying to Jesus isn't cutting it - self denial ftw.

@21 - not only will she cave on Taco Bell, give her three years and one drunken night of passion and I bet she caves on the abortion issue as well.

@ 23, getting an abortion herself won't make her pro choice.

Man. That's totally fucked. My idea of a sacrifice would be eating that shit.

I live in a neighborhood with a good percentage of Hispanics, including a goodly number of Mexicans. We've got a bunch of decent tacquerias, tamale stands, and full-blown restaurants. There was a Taco Bell here, but it died. A bank bought the property, tore the building down, and built their own. Erased from the earth! One down, several hundred to go.

Well that's nice but are they going to do anything to actually reduce abortions? Educate people? Support planned parenthoods efforts to help people avoid unwanted pregnancies? Anything?

No, of course not. Fine by me, I don't give a shit what they eat.

@28, thank you. That made my day. :)

I had to stop eating Taco Bell until my diarrhea ended.

I think the last Taco Bell I had was at that nasty ass one on Broadway. I'm sure it's been ten years and I can't ever imagine having it again after what it did to me that weekend.

But hey, way to really take one for the team there Jesus freaks.
