Humanizing Human Beings Is WRONG - Just Ask NARAL

You probably didn't realize this, but Super Bowl 50 was played yesterday. I mean, it hardly got any attention at all leading up to the game, so it's understandable that you might not have known about the game.

(Congratulations to the Denver Broncos for the win, even though they weren't the team I wanted to win. It was nice, however, to see Peyton Manning likely end his career by winning the penultimate game of the season)

If you missed the game, you might have missed the commercial Doritos made specifically to air during the game's broadcast time slot, the same as they have done for the past several Super Bowls. In case you haven't seen it, here it is:

Personally, I think it's a brilliant bit of advertising. I don't care that Dad is stereotyped as an idiot, or that Mom is portrayed as uptight and having to tolerate Dad's idiocy. The commercial is effective at what it was intended to do; advance the Doritos brand name. The commercial is memorable and that is what's most important in the advertising game.

One of the unintended consequences of this particular commercial, however, is that it's attracted the attention of at least one pro-abortion extremistist group - the National Abortion and Reproductive Rights Action League, or NARAL.

Following the initial airing of the commercial, NARAL post this tweet complaining about the ad:

Notice the language: tactic of humanizing fetuses. 

Yep, you actually did read that correctly. NARAL actually complained about Doritos "humanizing fetuses." Seriously?! What do they think the woman was pregnant with? A tree?! Maybe a puppy? Oh, I know... That clump of cells was obviously a Volkswagen.

Heaven forbid we "humanize" an actual HUMAN BEING. (oops... I said "heaven." What was I thinking?!) To imagine that a human being is, well, a human being is absolute heresy to the pro-abortion extremists. Too bad the actual science disagrees with them.

Pro-abortion extremists like NARAL and Planned Parenthood have maintained a death grip on the language surrounding abortion for far too long under the twin "guilting" principles of tolerance and political correctness. We "hurt their feelings," they cry, because we don't believe as they do

Pro-lifers have been mostly reluctant to engage them for fear of being labeled bigots, etc., but it's our own damn fault. I'm no longer willing to roll over and play dead for the sake of their feelings. If what they believe is so important to them, they should have to stand up to defend their positions, forced to accept the responsibility required of their actions.

More importantly - so should pro-lifers. It's no longer enough to simply "be against" abortion. We must make it so our voices will be heard, whether that's writing about it as I've done for years, attending pro-life rallies (which I intend to do in the near future), or donating to pro-life groups to help get the message out.

I believe the tide is turning, ladies and gentlemen, but it's been a long, slow process. The younger generations, for all their perceived failings, are becoming far more pro-life than their parents' generations. It's time to take a stand and fight for what's right.

I'm going to get a bag of Doritos. Who's with me? ~ Hunter
