NASHVILLE, Tenn. (BP)–A highly touted pro-life commercial that has aired on BET and features President Obama won’t be seen during the Super Bowl because NBC rejected it, saying it involved political and issue advocacy.
Sponsored by CatholicVote.org, a project of the Fidelis Center, the ad begins by showing an active unborn baby during an ultrasound. As music plays, words on the screen read: "This child’s future is a broken home … he will be abandoned by his father … his single mother will struggle to raise him … despite the hardships he will endure … this child will become the 1st African American President." The ad then shows a picture of Obama with the accompanying words, "Life … imagine the potential."
