Doritos had an amusing ad during the Super Bowl that I watched and immediately forgot about until I read this short story. NARAL and pro-choice advocates took a swipe at Doritos for having the audacity to portray a fetus as something more than just a clump of cells. Doritos Pro-Life Super Bowl Ad
Now we all know a human fetus is...well, a human. We as a society have decided it's okay to kill and dispose of unwanted children. I know it and I suspect that most of you know it. The people who made this ad know the fetus is a little human and however many millions watched the Super Bowl know it too. Why NARAL feels obliged to continue pretend it's just a clump of cells is beyond me.
It was a stupid ad, nothing more. The controversy only shows that their are a lot of stupid people out there from both perspectives.
That's a bit dismissive.
As one of the comments pointed out - "I think the best thing about this ad is that it shows we (pro-life) won the abortion debate, as far as the culture is concerned. The angry tweet from NARAL didn't cause the Doritos corporate hierarchy to quake in their boots and grovel out an apology. The fact that the commercial is implicitly pro-life probably didn't even cross the minds of the creative types who wrote it. All the points we make- that a fetus is a baby, not a clump of cells, etc.- have been accepted by the culture at large."
I suspect this observation is much closer to the truth than everyone just being stupid.
I'm pro-choice, and I love the commercial. I believe life begins at conception. The difference is that I don't believe in forcing everyone to believe the same as me.
Stop making up BS about all pro-choice people, just because of a few crazies.
