Cbs Under Pressure From The Pro-Aborts

[Happy_Catholic]

I'm not going to pretend I know anything about football or the superbowl or anything along those lines. What I do understand is a few pro-abortion groups are getting their panties in a bunch over a pro-life ad that's set to screen.

It really just goes to show that the pro-abortion movement is about silencing the opposition. I mean, nothing's stopping them from making their own baby killing ad.

They support the freedom to kill another human being, but it looks like freedom of speech and expression are just too much.

its because they realize how wrong they are. they know if they put an ad on tv for abortions, people would realize how evil it is. they know they are wrong, so they want to disrupt the message of the good.

This is exactly correct. One of my students let me borrow a little plastic model of a baby at 12 weeks fetal development. Looks very similar to a fully grown baby at birth, plus the full umbilical cord.

Not surprisingly, the women in the class who favored abortion kept telling me how disgusting it was and how gross it was for me to have such a thing in my classroom. They couldn't stop making comments about how disturbing they thought it was. It was very telling for me.

Those who are in favor of abortion, especially those adamantly in favor of it, typically describe perfectly natural and beautiful images of babies (born or pre-born) as disgusting, sick, gross, ugly, etc. They also will tell you how much they can't stand kids, how big a responsibility kids are, how much kids will ruin your lives, etc. I'm convinced that they hold these views because they are trying to justify their opinions regarding abortion. If a fetus is a baby and a human person, then they are the ugly, disgusting ones, but if the babies are the disgusting ones that ruin lives, then abortion is somehow magically okay.

People living in sin often hate people living in grace. It's a similar concept. It's a guilt thing.

CBS is reportedly selling Super Bowl ads for around $2.5million to $2.8 million. the anti-life people are trying to force CBS to drop the ad because it's controversial?


if this ad really is controversial, What's next? banning ads promoting eating fruits and vegetables?

If the ad stops just one woman from aborting her baby, it will have been worth it.

[JimR-OCDS]

They use to stay away from showing political ads during the Super Bowl.

However, the economy being such, CBS couldn't get enough ads to fill
all the time slots, so they let this ad through.

I understand its going to cost $1 million for 30 seconds.

As a carnivore who supplements his diet of pure meat with vitamin pills, I find these fruit and vegetable adds quite disgusting and culturally ignorant.

I've seen a Planned Parenthood promo and it explicitly shows itself as a hypocritical group in terms of freedom of speech, debate, etc.

Pro-abortion advocates are "allowed" to get offended when someone from the "other side" speaks up, but Heaven forbid Pro-Life advocates get upset at the abortion movement.

PETA's statement is quite possibly the most ridiculous thing I have ever heard. This groundhog is likely the most luxuriously living groundhog on the planet. He probably has acres of dirt and grubs to eat. Probably bring in female groundhog companions. And once a year everyone stops what they're doing to pay heed to him as the prognosticator of prognosticators. All the celery a hog could want.

That would be like replacing the Prince of Wales with a robot.

Hey it doesn't really matter, if the pro lifers have the cash then the ad won't drop.

In the end all the corporations want is money.

I wish it were that simple. In some cases these corporations have even sacrificed money in order not to undermine their progressive liberal agenda makers.

The monetary cost of a Superbowl commercial for soda/cola,for example is superficial compared to the sales generated by the airing of said.

Likewise if this super-advertising convinces just [u]one[/u] mother to reconsider the termination of her non-viable tissue mass affliction, then the super-monetary advertising cost is justifiable, as is or was the soda/cola ad

Maybe, but I still wouldn't necessarily go that far either.

CBS has come under fire in recent weeks from nasty little heartless evil hate groups for allowing a conservative Christian group to air an anti-abortion ad

NBC eventually sold out all the spots for a record $206 million.

Not everything has been smooth for CBS. U.S. women's groups urged the network not to air an ad by Focus on the Family,claiming it has a strident anti-abortion rights message. CBS has approved the ad.
