Did a quick trawl for ads for anti-abortion ballot initiatives in California, South Dakota and Colorado, because that’s what my Saturday nights are like.
This ad for California’s Prop. 4, for parental notification for minors seeking abortions, is a dramatization based on actual facts!
The proponents of Measure 11 in South Dakota are pushing the claim that it would only ban abortions performed for the purposes of birth control. However they also claim that 99% of all abortions are performed for the purposes of birth control.
The initiators of Colorado’s Prop. 48, whose website’s banner
for some reason features the profile of Alfred Hitchcock,
have this ad, which I think you’ll agree proves with impeccable logic why “human life” must be defined as beginning at conception:
The rather anodyne ads opposing Prop. 48 all say, more in sorrow than in anger, that 48 “goes too far,” a phrase I find obnoxious because it suggests that there is some acceptable compromise with the anti-choicers.
