Unless you have been living under a rock this past week, you are probably aware that Doritos put out a really funny Super Bowl Commercial. Watch it here.
It wasn’t long before NARAL, a pro-abortion group, cried foul on the seemingly innocent, funny video.
Sure, the dad in the commercial was quite clueless, but to accuse the video of humanizing babies? That’s just ridiculous. It is not possible to humanize something that is already human. We are not talking about elephants or puppies here. We are talking about fetuses! Fetuses that can already recognize their mother’s voice! A fetus that was about to (and ends up doing it) come out! Is that fetus still not worthy of being “humanized”, even as it leaves the mother’s body?
Bear in mind that not too long before this commercial, viewers had to sit through a weird Mountain Dew commercial featuring a “puppy monkey baby”. I don’t see NARAL complaining about the way it gives human characteristics to a creature that is far from human.
In short, the blindness of pro-choices can be appalling.
And yet a sweet but overlooked detail from the Doritos commercial is that the baby shown on the ultrasound is the son of the ad’s creator, now a 9-month old Australian boy named Freddie.
While the ultrasound was manipulated to show the baby reaching for the snack, it is not too far from the truth, since babies in utero have been shown to react to various stimuli. In this case, it may just be that one unborn baby will save the lives of many others like him.
