Count it the dumbest denunciation ever: NARAL, formerly the National Abortion Rights Action League, slamming a Super Bowl ad for “humanizing fetuses.”
If they weren’t human, folks, abortion wouldn’t be controversial.
The silly Doritos spot opens with a pregnant woman getting an ultrasound. Cut to dad cluelessly munching chips, annoying the mom — then see the fetus reaching toward the chips.
And when mom grabs the bag and tosses it far offscreen, the unborn baby plainly starts to rush for the exit — early delivery time!

You might have chuckled or groaned — but you didn’t scream in outrage.

#NotBuyingIt – that @Doritos ad using #antichoice tactic of humanizing fetuses & sexist tropes of dads as clueless & moms as uptight. #SB50

Yet that’s what the abortion-rights group opted for, tweeting out “#notbuyingit — that @Doritos ad using #antichoice tactic of humanizing fetuses.”
Talk about tunnel vision: NARAL has its head so far up its own special-interest butt, it didn’t realize how even most pro-choicers would wince at the idiocy of that complaint.
In fact, people already realize the fetus is human — even if other facts lead them to support abortion rights anyway.
And nobody thinks the unborn actually behave as the Doritos-baby does. It. Was. A. Joke.
With its “how dare you” fury, NARAL exposed itself opposing the fundamentals of choice — free thought and free speech.
Makes you suspect NARAL would ban real sonograms, if it could. After all, they “humanize the fetus,” too.
