SAN ANTONIO — Tacos. Beer. Abortions?

Andrea Grimes — a senior reporter for RH Reality Check, which focuses on sexual and reproductive health and justice issues — seemingly got fed up with the torrent of "ice bucket challenge" videos flooding the Web and opted to create a challenge of her own: Eat a taco, drink a beer and donate to an abortion fund.

"I have watched 4 bucket videos, still have no urge to dump bucket on self. Likelihood of donating to charity remains about same," Grimes, who also contributed to The Texas Observer, tweeted. "I hereby challenge y'all to eat a taco or drink a beer and give money to an abortion fund #tacoorbeerchallenge."

"THE TERRIBLE PART IS THAT YOU HAVE TO EAT A TACO OR DRINK A BEER get it #tacoorbeerchallenge," she continued.

Grimes has encouraged people to submit their videos and pictures to the challenge's Tumblr page (warning: explicit language) and use the hashtag #tacoorbeerchallenge on social media.
