Focus on the Family Super Bowl ad
| Mon, 01-25-2010 - 1:33pm |
And email I received from Care2. I will boycott the Super Bowl should they show Focus on the Family's ad. I'm very disappointed in CBS.
In the past, CBS has denied other organizations, like MoveOn.org and United Church of Christ, the chance to get their word out during the Superbowl because the network considered their messages to be too controversial. But it seems its definition of "controversial" has changed. CBS approved an ad by the ultra-conservative group Focus on the Family, attacking a woman's right to choose.
Thanks for taking action!

Demand that CBS pull this controversial and disrespectful ad from the Superbowl line-up >>
The Superbowl is the most-watched television program in the country -- a prime opportunity for anti-choice groups to broadcast their idea that a woman doesn't have the right to make decisions about her own body. What's worse is CBS has no plans to run a pro-choice ad to balance both sides of the issue.
CBS's decision to run the anti-choice ad is biased, unfair and unethical. Tell CBS to cancel the Superbowl ad from Focus on the Family >>

But they'll still be showing the beer and fast food commercials with scantily clad women as well, right?
We shouldn't be able to choose a legal, medical procedure, but we sure should be able to choose to be meat for the guys, huh?
My first thought too!
Count me in, too.
I am curious if you would sign a petition if the ad were a "pro-choice" ad.
Personally, I am pro-choice. I do believe abortion is morally wrong...but the reality is that legal or not....abortion will still happen. I would rather keep it safe.
This ad doesn't bother me one bit. It will not change my mind on the subject.
I wonder if the outrage would be there if the situation were reversed. Are people upset because it's controversial? Or only because it is a view they disagree with?
