It Really Is a Life!

[Darris McNeely] If you were watching this week’s Super Bowl, in the ads, which usually are the most exciting and interesting aspects of the Super Bowl, there was one by Doritos that had a couple in the hospital taking an ultrasound of their unborn child.

[Technician] There’s your beautiful baby. Any day now.

[Woman] Really? You’re eating Doritos?

The father is standing there eating Doritos. And the baby in the picture was still in the womb of the mother – was responding to his dad eating the Doritos, wanted one, and came to the point of even coming out of the womb early –

[Woman] Give me that!

It was quite well done. It was very creative. The person who did this ad was actually using in the ad a picture of his son, who’s now nine months old. Now, the son didn’t come out looking for a Dorito, but at least that part was realistic in there.

Unfortunately, the pro-choice lobby – those who advocate abortion rights – have taken exception to this ad, saying that it “humanizes a fetus”. It’s unbelievable but that’s what they say, and again, understanding even what this ad brings out, of the reality of it, that an unborn child is a human life and it can respond to stimuli – maybe not his parent eating a Doritos chip, but they can respond to the external stimulus in the environment. They are a life. And I think that that was well-put by the ad in a creative way, commercially done, but well done after all. In fact, it reminds us that it is a life, and puts an exclamation point upon that very fact. God has fearfully and wonderfully made us. We should remember that and understand that. And we should certainly be for life.
