That Censored Superbowl Ad
The above ad was rejected from the Superbowl because the network didn't want 'political or advocacy ads'. However, the anti-semitic hate group PETA also applied to run a commercial--- a very smutty one--- and was told they would be allowed to run it if they toned down the smut.
It seems that even though the majority of Americans are prolife to at least some extent--- very few approve of late-term abortions, for example--- prolife news is heavily censored. Aside from election day, there has been very little coverage of the legalization of assisted suicide in two more states. And the March for Life was essentially ignored by the media.
It's up to us bloggers to help the censored ideas get out there into the world, until such time as a less censor-happy news media appears.

I know this is old but I saw it on Reddit. I am also pro-choice to set the record straight.
Isn't this a false analogy?
The chances for anyone to become president of the US regardless of their background is more so of luck than actually skill.
But isn't the ad saying the chances to be president is more likely if your mom is single?
Personally such ads for or against abortion are too short and too sensational. I really doubt any ads that are placed during Superbowl are really worth the money. Considering commercials are usually used for potty / beer / food runs.
Actually it's saying that your chances of being president are increased if you are not killed by abortion.
