NBC rejects Super Bowl ad because it contains pro-life message

30-second ad features ultrasound pictures from a baby in its mother’s womb

NBC television has rejected a pro-life advertisement which Catholicvote.org bought for a slot in the Super Bowl because the ad contains a pro-life message. The 30-second ad features ultrasound pictures from a baby in its mother’s womb. There is nothing either graphic or political and the word abortion is not even used.  In fact, no words are spoken, only graphics that appear on-screen. Yet, the message is extremely powerful.

The Super Bowl Commercial You Won't See

That wonderful pro-life Obama commercial you may have seen here recently was supposed to run during the Super Bowl on Sunday. After first accepting it, NBC apparently changed its collective mind, saying it wasn't going to run advocacy ads during the big game.

 Brian Burch, President of Fidelis, a Chicago-based Catholic organization responsible for the commercial, says that NBC initially responded positively and he was raising money to pay for it. Watch the commercial below, and imagine the impact it could have had on the millions who watch the Super Bowl.

I never watch NBC or MSNBC.  Except for the Fox news network, some C-span, Hallmark Channel, and Animal planet, I hardly watch television anymore.  Its mostly a waste of time.  I'd rather read the blogs of lovely friends like you.
