<\/div>

As Live Action News has reported<\/a>, pro-abortion group NARAL Pro-Choice America, and a state affiliate, NARAL Pro-Choice Ohio, took to Twitter Sunday night during\u00a0Super Bowl 50\u00a0to further their own agenda, using the hashtag #NotBuyingIt. Unfortunately for them, a lot of people just didn’t buy what they were selling, and NARAL\u00a0revealed just how anti-child they are.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

One\u00a0of the biggest complaints was directed at a Doritos ad for\u00a0the “#antichoice tactic of humanizing fetuses.” Seriously:<\/p>\n

\n

#NotBuyingIt<\/a> – that @Doritos<\/a> ad using #antichoice<\/a> tactic of humanizing fetuses & sexist tropes of dads as clueless & moms as uptight. #SB50<\/a><\/p>\n

Another claimed that an ad featuring celebrities Amy Schumer and Seth Rogen\u00a0could be translated to how Americans agree with their extreme abortion agenda:<\/p>\n

\n

LOVE the @amyschumer<\/a> & @Sethrogen<\/a> @budlight<\/a> ad! ? Americans do agree on many things – esp the need for #reprofreedom<\/a>! #MediaWeLike<\/a><\/p>\n

There were also several ads which featured Super Bowl\u00a0Babies. And despite NARAL’s “pro-choice” label, the group posted a tweet\u00a0that didn’t go over well:<\/p>\n

\n

Super Bowl Babies? Use protection, sports fans. #MediaWeLike<\/a><\/p>\n

After other commenters didn’t find this particularly\u00a0funny, they tried to backpedal, but apparently\u00a0couldn’t resist making fun of\u00a0the idea of conceiving a child\u00a0after the Super Bowl:<\/p>\n

\n

We like #SuperBowlBabies<\/a>, but maybe… just maybe… the occasion of a football game isn’t a great reason to start a family?<\/p>\n

\u2014 NARAL ProChoice Ohio (@ProChoiceOH) February 8, 2016<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\n

“Hey Jane, why did you and John start a family?”
\n“Well, Super Bowl 50 was amazing!”#SuperBowlBabies<\/a><\/p>\n

\u2014 NARAL ProChoice Ohio (@ProChoiceOH) February 8, 2016<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

NARAL later addressed the backlash, claiming that they categorized the Super Bowl Babies ad as part of #MediaWeLike, because they wanted to further their agenda of “paid family leave” and “healthcare”:<\/p>\n

\n

Woo, people got pissed we tweeted about #SuperBowlBabies<\/a>! Didn’t see we tagged it #MediaWeLike<\/a> because we like the ad (and the babies).<\/p>\n

\u2014 NARAL ProChoice Ohio (@ProChoiceOH) February 8, 2016<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\n

Love #SuperBowlBabies<\/a> ads – We’re wrkng to make sure #SB50<\/a> new parents have access to #PaidFamilyLeave<\/a> & #healthcare<\/a> they need. #MediaWeLike<\/a><\/p>\n

\u2014 NARAL (@NARAL) February 8, 2016<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

It is unclear\u00a0how NARAL’s mocking comments about starting a family are somehow supporting\u00a0paid family leave or healthcare. But\u00a0NARAL is right about one thing –\u00a0the tweets did not go unnoticed, especially by\u00a0pro-lifers.<\/p>\n

Secular Pro-Life highlighted several of the tweets, including how NARAL is just fine with dogs, but not so much with babies:<\/p>\n
