Sounds creepy. But, we have given up on TV a long time ago in our house. There is too much violence, sex and propaganda pushed by the progressive left who control the programming, any complaints about are typically responded to with a reminder that the TV can be controlled by parents. So I guess, that is my advice. Don't like it? Turn it off. Or another option is to watch it with your children. It may open the door for a good discussion of your values.

When a woman wants the life growing inside of her it is a baby, when she does not, it is a "choice". How does that double standard work exactly?

The time for choice is with the practice of responsible controception control and fertility management prior to sexual intercourse, not choosing to terminate an inconvenient life.

Given the described content of the ad I suspect that human life is portrayed as something respected and the mass murder of humans is shown as a morally reprehensible act. Do you have a problem with that, seriously?

If they do run it, which I doubt, stations do have their owns rights, incase you didn't know, but if they do it will only backfire on them, the outrage would kill their bid on the spot.

I think that a video should show the civilian victims of bombs, like in Iraq and Afghanistan, the mass murder of humans is shown as a morally reprehensible act.

Nothing. What is so difficult about understanding a fertilized egg is not a human being?

1) A fertilizaed egg IS NOT a baby.

2) The double standard here is those who preach LESS governmengt in our lives yet are only too happy to call for more when it suits their agenda.

No method of contraception is 100% effective. So you'd punish those who have it fail?

You're the one alleging Obama has taken a pro-abortion position. Please supply just ONE example where he's EVER stated women SHOUL have abortions. Until then we can only take your statement for the hyperbolic deliberate mis-statement that it is.

Once people are ex-utero it just doesn't seem to bother the right what happens to them.

That's assuming the woman in question is a religious person. What about those who are not? What about those who think that a zygote is not alive, but merely potential for life, much the same way a sperm is?

I think the late, great Bill Hicks nailed the abortion issue with one simple statement.

"You are not a person until you are in my phonebook"

We have dozens of threads on abortion, this is about a superbowl ad. You are taking the thread way off-topic. Ditto to the rest as well. If you don't think the ad is appropriate, change the channel.
