CNN Rejects Catholic Group's Obama-Themed Pro-Life Ad

Also, being the private person I am, I wouldn't want to see my life cited in an ad for the good or the bad. Michelle Obama seems to be the same way as she didn't like the idea of the new dolls that came out resembling her daughters.

I think this discussion is about the ad and not our particular views on abortion.

This doesn't hurt my point of view at all. This is just an example of a happily ever after sad story. However, in most cases, this doesn't hold true.

Fidelis group should try to have their ad posted by Fox News. They have a reputation for these things.

How is murdering a baby justice Robert?

I believe the Declaration of idependence states LIFE, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness.

We the people do not get to decide freedom, if that was the case, we the people can take it away.

Same for freedom of speech.

It's an unalienable right to LIFE, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness.

If America didn't abort 50 Million Americans since 1973, perhaps we would have 20-Somethings by now in the work force helping our economy. Hmmm.

How about we promote life in lieu of a culture of death.

Let's try something different.

Respectfully.

This is such stupid advertisement. Not only did it not involve Barack's involvement in it's creation in any way, but then it goes on to say he's from a broken home which I think only he should speak on, considering he was the one who grew up in it. Further, it seems to praise the fact that his single mother raised him at the same time when we're discussing "welfare queens" and how single mothers don't do anything worthy of praise at all especially if they are unmarried, only adding kids to the burdened system. I guess single mothers who don't abort only do a good job if their child becomes the President or something.

As far as the imagining part, they want us to consider that "Instead, we make the obvious point that Obama's mother gave birth to a child that ultimately became the 1st African American President." Consider also that Adolf Hitler's mother gave birth to a child that ultimately became the leader one of the most horrific holocausts in human history. What is the point here exactly, whether you're for abortion or against it? In the end, and I believe this is true no matter which side you take, Obama should have been included in this pro-life ad that chooses not only to take his family members but his life and achievements and use it to further their goals. CNN was right to reject it.
