<\/div>

There are countless people who get excited about seeing which team will be this year’s world champion at every Super Bowl, but the commercials are also a big draw for viewers. As there are millions of people tuning in for the Super Bowl, ad agencies spend big bucks to present the best commercials of the year. One commercial that got a lot of attention was from Doritos, which featured a preborn baby who\u00a0apparently already loves the chips:<\/p>\n

[youtube https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=vH2LsFcWOFY&w=560&h=315]<\/p>\n

Seems like a harmless, funny little ad, right? Wrong — this ad made NARAL furious.<\/p>\n

<\/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

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

So Doritos got the ire of a pro-abortion advocacy organization because they dared to present a preborn baby as… human? If preborn babies aren’t human, then maybe NARAL can clue us in to what they are. Aliens? Kangaroos? Maybe it’s like that one meme:<\/p>\n

\"raptor<\/a><\/p>\n

Hey, call it whatever you want, but just don’t call it human. Right, NARAL? Because heaven forbid people look at preborn babies as human<\/em>. Next thing you know, people will be rethinking abortion and wondering if it’s not so humane to be ripping apart little babies limb from limb. And NARAL just can’t have that. So a Doritos ad featuring a doctor calling a preborn baby a baby, while the baby moves and kicks and exhibits personality would naturally infuriate humorless, extreme\u00a0abortion supporters. But that wasn’t the only ad that left NARAL angry.<\/p>\n

The NFL aired an ad celebrating “Super Bowl Babies”\u00a0–\u00a0babies born nine months after their parents’ team won the Super Bowl. In the ad, generations of these babies sang along to the tune of “Kiss From a Rose” with Seal.<\/p>\n

[youtube https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=9KqekigARfE&w=560&h=315]<\/p>\n

And, surprise! NARAL didn’t like this one either. NARAL Pro-Choice Ohio showed how apparently, any mention of babies at all gets their hackles raised.<\/p>\n

\n

More Super Bowl babies?!?! Get thee an IUD! #MediaWeLike<\/a><\/p>\n

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

Oh, really? So what are the NARAL-approved reasons to start a family? NARAL Pro-Choice America, the parent organization that hated the Doritos ad, got in on the action too, retweeting the Ohio affiliate’s insistence that sports fans use protection, because getting pregnant would be, like, THE WORST.<\/p>\n

\n

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

\u2014 NARAL ProChoice Ohio (@ProChoiceOH) February 7, 2016<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Both organizations tried to walk back their tweets, later insisting that they just loved<\/em> babies, but the damage had already been done. Twitter users were shocked and angry at what the pro-abortion extremists had said.<\/p>\n

\n

Gee @ProChoiceOH<\/a> I thought you already approved of already born babies? Do you want to kill them now too?<\/p>\n

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

\n

@ProChoiceOH<\/a> Maybe, just maybe, it’s not any of your business that someone starts on super bowl Sunday.https:\/\/t.co\/3uBEHOmVPJ<\/a><\/p>\n

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

\n

@ProChoiceOH<\/a> Creating families isn’t really your thing.<\/p>\n

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

\n

@ProChoiceOH<\/a> I thought you didn’t believe in being in people’s bedrooms or judging their “choices”? Huh.<\/p>\n

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

\n

@exjon<\/a> @NARAL<\/a> @Doritos<\/a> “Humanizing fetuses??” Genetics did that, not Madison Avenue.<\/p>\n

\u2014 Mike O’Connor (@mmoaks14) February 8, 2016<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\n

Haha, the level of eye-twitch knee-jerk venom in this @NARAL<\/a> post is delicious, just like @Doritos<\/a>. https:\/\/t.co\/u6rXnzu3Y6<\/a><\/p>\n

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

\n

@NARAL<\/a> Uh, it is a human. You do know that, right?<\/p>\n

\u2014 Chris A. Guzman (@christopherguz) February 8, 2016<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\n

“Humanizing fetuses”? What is Mom preganant with? A potato? A duck? Nope – a human. Say it with me. She’s a baby. @NARAL<\/a> @Doritos<\/a><\/p>\n

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

You’d think that it would be difficult for someone to politicize something as inane as the commercials during the Super Bowl, but this is the American pro-abortion lobby. Their extremism knows no limits. And they will take any opportunity to shill for the violence of abortion and attempt to dehumanize the preborn babies\u00a0from whose deaths they profit.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
