Thanks, But No Thanks

(Fox News) - NBC, which broadcast yesterday's Super Bowl, rejected an anti-abortion commercial portraying President Obama as a fetus in the womb. It shows an ultrasound of an unborn baby while a caption reads, "The child's future is a broken home. He will be abandoned by his father. His single mother will struggle to raise him."

The ad —- which was done by CatholicVote.org, which is a subsidiary of the Chicago-based Catholic group Fidelis, that submitted the ad —- says despite hardships, the child will become the first African-American president and "Life — imagine the potential."

The president of Fidelis, Brian Burch, tells The Washington Times that NBC officials said they didn't want to run any political or advocacy ads during the game. But the advocacy group People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals was told one of its ads could run if some changes were made.

Birch says, "They were willing to air an ad by PETA if they would simply tone down the sexual suggestiveness. Our ad is far less provocative and hardly controversial by comparison."
