ORGANIZATION ATTACKS COMPANY FOR “HUMANIZING FETUSES”
Super Bowl 50 was a defensive struggle devoid of much in the way of fireworks. And the television advertisements accompanying the big game were a big disappointment. And the halftime show? Ugh. Let’s not even go there …
But there was no shortage of Super Bowl Sunday action coming from NARAL – one of the nation’s leading pro-abortion advocacy groups.
NARAL had previously promised its 50,000 Twitter followers that the organization would be live-tweeting during the Super Bowl in search of “sexist” television ads.
And it found plenty of them … along with one “transphobic” Snickers ad.
(Really?)
Take a look …

Hey, @Hyundai – taking away your daughter's autonomy and stalking her on a date isn't funny. #NotBuyingIt #SB50

Another miss for @Hyundai – In their world, women are bad drivers who get distracted by the mere sight of a man. #NotBuyingIt #SB50

.@SNICKERS, what was up w that commercial? Transphobic & implies women OK w being objectified as long as they have snacks #NotBuyingIt #SB50

Of course this garden variety political correctness escalated to another level when the group attacked Doritos (well, Frito-Lay) for running an ad portraying a human fetus as (gasp!) a person … one interested in scarfing down some chemically coated corn chips.
Take a look …
#NotBuyingIt – that @Doritos ad using #antichoice tactic of humanizing fetuses & sexist tropes of dads as clueless & moms as uptight. #SB50

Wow …
Not surprisingly, there was backlash … well-deserved backlash, at that.
“The trouble for NARAL and other pro-choice advocates is that technological advances like ultrasounds have become some of the most powerful arguments on the pro-life side,” Sarah Rumpf wrote for NRO. “Even at the earliest stages of a pregnancy, it is clearly evident that the image an ultrasound shows is a tiny little human, and countless parents have watched that screen in amazement, overjoyed to see their baby for the first time and hear its heart beating.”
“By showing a ‘fetus’ as not a ‘clump of cells’ but a tiny human being, Doritos exposed the weakness of the pro-abortion worldview: The commitment to denying the humanity of the unborn child is in conflict with basic common sense. Those who prefer to describe their side as ‘pro-choice’ cannot tolerate any evidence that shows the human life that ‘choice’ could be ending,” Rumpf added.
We agree …
There is absolutely nothing wrong with humanizing fetuses. In fact, it’s wrong to dehumanize them because doing so denies them their fundamental nature – and deprives them of the inalienable rights which ought to flow from it.
In previous years, the NARAL controversy might have been glossed over – or even accepted as a rational addition to the vanguard of current PC thought. But this year’s antics come barely half a year after Planned Parenthood – a government-subsidized abortion provider – made international news via its gruesome fetal body parts scandal. Like the Kermit Gosnell scandal of 2013, the Planned Parenthood debacle has opened people’s eyes to the pure savagery of abortion-on-demand.
And now NARAL has opened their eyes to the hypocrisy of the “pro-choice” movement …

Got to admit that I find this to be juvenile and a huge stretch and I am pro-choice….but Mr. Folks, you really need to drop the attack on Planned Parenthood…you are starting to sound like one of those guys who, “knows how hot fire must burn to melt steel” ie 9/11 conspiracy….no proof to support the videos and the makers are probably headed for jail time….
I will drop the “attack on Planned Parenthood” when they stop killing other people with my money. Deal?
“when they stop killing other people with my money.”
Yeah, that’s strictly reserved for our interventionist military and our no-knock raiding police.
You sure hate this country faggot.Move to Russia and quit arguing with your boss.He is right on this one.
Damn…and quit posting to NO ONE at 2:00 A.M. ya drunk bastard.Every normal human being is in bed.
What’s your butt buddy Terry Ward up too these days, flippy?
LMAO!!!
Speaking of butt buddies….time to find a all boys Sunday School class that needs a creepy old man to ‘teach’. Oh what a scam I have in Jesus
LMAO!!!!!!!!!! You just called him out for who, and what, he is!!!
Don’t know.My guess is occasionally checking and reading all 4 of the bloggers on Fits post?
As long as he doesn’t contribute his own brain diarrhea to be mixed in with yours I’m happy. Oh my!
That’s 4 more than you losers got on your failed blog! You guys just can’t help but lose. God made you life long losers….nothing mysterious about that.
GrandTango’s blog died before pogo came along.
Nope, love this country. Hate to see thousands of service men and women die and thousands of innocent lives lost to free a country that will just fall apart once we leave. Also don’t want trillions of dollars wasted when it could be better spent. Blood and treasure wasted for nothing.
I, Flip, support the woman’s right to choose. I would rather them choose life but it is their body and their circumstances.
I just figured out the 2:00 A.M. posting by your sorry ass.Fits made you get a paper route?
Nope, my Terry Bear wanted a middle-of-the-night massage, and then some! LMAO!!!
It’s so cute watching an old man with a crush flirt. Not sure Rocky is into to closted old queers, though. Sorry, buddy.
Don’t ruin the poor boy’s fantasy now! LMAO!
Nope, not into old closet queers. But I did stay at a Holiday Inn last night.
Get real, Will. You support warmongering assholes like Trump and now pretend you’re concerned with the lives of others? Whatever. And the whole video thing falsely claiming PP was killing people and selling baby parts was a total fraud. So much so, that when Texas Grand Jury looked into PP, they found them innocent and charged the FILMMAKERS with crimes, including trying to obtain human organs.

Trump wants to bring back methods of torture worse than waterboarding, guess it’s OK for his money to go towards that.
Trump would waterboard pregnany women if he could.
#womenandchilderndonotmatter
Trump was very pro abortion, I suspect he still is but is saying he isn’t to appease his base. Wonder if Will has made any contributions to Trump’s campaign. Of course everyone else here is suggesting the checks actually flow in the opposite direction on that one. Maybe that’s true, who knows.
Rev.Wright is an American hating racist socialist.Obama sat in his church for 20 years.
Thank you for making my point that Obama was trained to hate America. Rubio was right.Obama is purposely destroying America.
Hey, numbnuts. It’s 2016. Obama has already had two successful terms.
Too late, sucker!
Obama loves America, God bless him for his reforming health care, but now we need Bernie to take over and give us an even better solution.
Calling fetuses “people” does not make them people. As I testified before the Kentucky General Assembly House Judiciary Subcommittee on Hearings on Abortion, 14 February 1972:
You will note that I referred to the developing human life. It would be disingenuous for me to maintain that it was anything other than human life, and an insult to your intelligence to attempt to do so. It certainly is neither fish nor fowl, nor anything but human life. I maintain, nevertheless, that this human life has no right to control the lives and the destiny of the two born human beings into whose lives it has intruded. It has no right to “life” in the sense that it has no right to birth. I wish to make this semantic distinction. That is a privilege that can be granted or withheld by the man and the woman who have the power to do so.
The 14th Amendment to the Constitution applies to “people” born in the United States, not to ova fertilized in the US.
You’re a disgusting joke.A pathetic,souless POS.Nicest thing I could think of.
Still willing to share some BBQ at Moe’s with me and Rocky Verdad?
Thank you for defending the rights of women.
Then why did they agree to stop taking money for the baby parts if they weren’t selling them? You liberals really are fools…
Planned Parenthood Federation of America said it will immediately stop accepting reimbursements for supplying fetal tissue for medical research, an attempt to tamp down a controversy that threatens federal funding….
http://www.wsj.com/articles/planned-parenthood-stops-taking-reimbursements-for-fetal-tissue-1444744800
“supplying fetal tissue for medical research”
That medical research saves lives, would you rather throw the organs in the trash?
Your video making buddies are being charged with trying to obtain human organ. The exact thing they tried to pin on PP. Talk about an epic fail from some epic losers!
http://www.chron.com/news/houston-texas/article/Harris-grand-jury-indicts-pair-behind-Planned-6782865.php
If they go to jail then I am sure Bubba has an organ they can “obtain” whether they like it or not. LMAO!!!! Bet pogo is jealous of them on that front! Oh my!!!
They(PP) admitted they were taking money for baby parts. Check mate!
They took money to pay for the preservation of the tissue from when the abortion occurred to when it was delivered to the research companies. It is not unreasonable to charge for that.
“The term “valuable consideration” does not include reasonable payments associated with the transportation, implantation, processing, preservation, quality control, or storage of human fetal tissue.”
They’ve always taken money for the delivery of research materials – duh!!!!
They agreed to stop taking the cost of shipping as repayment.
Nice non-sequitur attack there Keith. NARAL’s complaint was that the Dorito’s commercial “humanized the fetus” and was some how pro-life.
I have news for the witches at NARAL – that thing in a pregnant woman’s womb, yeah, that’s a human. A few words of advice for you witches: get a sense of humor, get a life – and let “fetuses” have theirs.
Politics aside, the commercial wasn’t really funny. Overly stereotypical tropes are boring.
I thought it was pretty funny and you’re missing the real point here – Doritos couldn’t buy this kind of buzz with a mere $5,000,000. The purpose of advertising is to get people interested in the product – Doritos will be talked about for the rest of the week.
I’ll agree with that.
Try reading the entire article before posting comments…”In previous years, the NARAL controversy might have been glossed over – or even accepted as a rational addition to the vanguard of current PC thought.

I read it – doesn’t change a thing I said.
The case against CMP will rapidly fall apart.
The major charge is using a fake ID, really, that’s the best they could come up with?
The misdemeanor charge is for “buying fetal body parts” (not attempting to buy) – if there was a buyer, there must have been a seller and (un)PP somehow skates on that?
Actually attempting to commit a felony is just as bad as committing a felony….just go ask any one of the convicted domestic terrorists who tried to buy weapons from an undercover FBI agent and got caught…I am sure there were no weapons to be had, but that doesn’t forgive your intent…
Again, a non sequitur. They don’t deny they used a fake ID. The issue is what was it used for – the answer, to expose a crime (namely the selling of fetal tissue by (un)Planned Parenthood. No domestic terrorism, no weapons, no FBI sting.
Well, they didn’t expose a crime did they….and you can try to defend the slimy, deceitful POS all you want but his little editing tricks have been exposed and every investigation ordered by the anti-choice Conservative leaders at both the State and Federal level have found no evidence of his claims. He will end up on the ash heap of history like your other fraud hero Timothy O’Keefe….
I’ve seen the unedited tapes, they are readily available. (un)Planned Parenthood is hiding behind lawyers, law suits and uber liberal courts – the “slime and deceit” are all theirs.
And don’t eat Doritos when you’re pregnent.
Perhaps your statement “that’s a human” is a redundancy. What else could it be?
See my testimony above regarding whether being “human” is a valid argument against abortion.
Welcome to America, where fast food restaurants and junk food brands are made political. God bless our diabetic, cholesterol-filled country.
Can I super-size that?
I saw this last night and it was unnecessary and demeaning to everyone involved. Sometimes an ad is just an ad. This was a football game not a damned political debate.
Speaking of which, I was disappointed with all the campaign ads last night. It’s the Super Bowl! Could we not give that crap a rest for one night?
100 ++
125,000 babies were were aborted on Super Bowl Sunday.Children aren’t ‘crap’ except to PP lovers and liberals like you.
Maybe you can jion your fellow assholes in jail?
http://www.chron.com/news/houston-texas/article/Harris-grand-jury-indicts-pair-behind-Planned-6782865.php
Ms. Albright called on young women to support Hillary ‘baby butcher’ Clinton … ‘There’s a special place in hell for women who don’t help each other! ..’
I would say there will be a special place in hell for the advocates of killing the unborn.
I don’t like Albright, she was a jerk. Don’t vote Hillary, vote BERNIE!
You’ve got your own seat or so I hear, with your name engraved on it and everything.
You found an abortion clinic open on Super Bowl Sunday?
125,000 babies are aborted everyday ya jack booted American hater.
You are the jack boot for supporting Trump. Also you said babies were aborted on Super Bowl Sunday, where is your proof that any babies were aborted yesterday?
Why couldn’t you have been one of those abortions? God your mom’s a cunt.
She couldn’t afford it because of the ban on taxpayer money going towards abortions? LMAO!!!
No, in the US 1,900 babies are aborted every day. Too high, again, teach these Mom’s how to use a condom, or tie their tubes. In fact, that’s my compromise for you. If a woman goes in to get an abortion of convenience, then make it mandatory she gets her tubes tied. She can untie them later.
Flip and I don’t want any babies aborted, because that less fodder for our pedo-tendencies.
Praise jesus….in the butt.
Gotta keep that steady supply coming I guess? LMAO!!!
Yeah, Flip, I appreciate the sentiment but you give Pro Lifers a bad name when you spout bullshit. There were about 1.2 million abortions last year – that equals just over 3, 280 abortions a day.
I stand corrected.That was the ‘world’ statistic.
According to WHO, every year in the world there are an estimated 40-50 million abortions. This corresponds to approximately 125,000 abortions per day. In the USA, where nearly half of pregnancies are unintended and four in 10 of these are terminated by abortion [1] , there are over 3,000 abortions per day.
Now for the rest of the story – that’s about 2,900 too many.
I saw the true evil of the pro abortion/PP for the first time outside of a clinic in Fort Wayne, Indiana-early 90’s.
The women would go in.Shortly after that a nurse would come down to the locked glass door and hold up with her fingers the number of the baby they just killed.
It was really disturbing.
Their bodies, their choice.
I bet you are secretly glad they aren’t alive and taking up all the welfare money, more for you right?
“If a mother can kill her own children, then what can be next?” Mother Teresa once asked.
What indeed?
Once the value of human life has been depreciated, as in Roe v. Wade and the Baby Doe Case, no one is safe. Once “quality of life” is substituted for the absolute value of human life itself, we all are endangered.
LMAO!!! Mother Theresa is no saint maybe you should educate yourself http://www.patheos.com/blogs/daylightatheism/2008/05/mother-teresa/
Would not the best defense against abortion to find ways to avoid unwanted pregnancies to begin with? You know, those little rubber things with the reservoir at the end slathered in spermicide?
So why watch it.
What were you doing lurking around all day in front of a Ft. Wayne abortion clinic, “Flip”? Screaming at the women going in? Putting grisly pictures in front of their faces? Writing down their license plate numbers? You are disturbed.
Actually Colonel CDC reports the annual number of abortions performed in the US at about 1,900 per day. Now, of those, how many are associated with miscarriage, deformed or deceased fetus, parents who decide against a child that is verified to have severe birth defects – I don’t know the answer to that – but it’s not all “Leroy knocked me up and I’ze don’ want it.”
I was using lasts year’s numbers only to illustrate the idiocy of believing the 120,000 a day reported.
Less than 10% are the combined total of “rape (1%), incest(>.5%), mother’s health (4%), fetal health (3%)” i.e. “medically related”. http://www.johnstonsarchive.net/policy/abortion/abreasons.html
The vast majority are “lifestyle issues” – my job, his job, no job, too young, too old, blah blah blah. All of those issues could have better been dealt with by birth control. This is a matter of personal responsibility – for both the woman and the broke ass man with no job. She shouldn’t have been making the beast with two backs with his ass to begin with.
If you’ve ever been to a third world port city, they’re very adapt at this. They have condom dispensers – condoms for a quarter.
We don’ even charge for them – you can go into most any clinic (and many high school nurses offices) and get them for free.
So what, how is the US responsible for abortions happening in other countries?
Not responsible.Just making a point that you soul less America hating liberals have created a culture of death in this country by exterminating the unborn.
You people are no different than ISIS.
No you are padding your numbers to bash PP when PP is responsible for little more than 2% of your original number. In short you lied through your teeth like you always do.
Partial-Birth Abortion is a procedure in which the abortionist pulls a living baby feet-first out of the womb and into the birth canal (vagina), except for the head, which the abortionist purposely keeps lodged just inside the cervix (the opening to the womb).
This is who you sick bastards are.Worse than the Nazi’s.
You are the one looking up near-pornographic descriptions of abortions, does that turn you on sicko?
And as I recall – the procedure is basically banned – right?
Here’s Donald Trump’s tweet: So far the Super Bowl is very boring – not nearly as exciting as politics – MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!
I’ll take football over politics any day.
What is really sexist, is that all abortions are performed on women.
Hey Thumper why are your fellow liberal feminists fighting women having to sign up for the draft?
The only Wars on Women is being waged by the Taliban, ISIS and Boko Haram. So, why shouldn’t women fight it?
Excellent.
hillarys through dealin
no free college no hillary
NARAL, trying to ride the back of Super Bowl to get attention. NARAL is like the Super Bowl halftime show, should be avoided.
Fuck ’em, never heard of them before this article, don’t care if I hear about them again.
