Pro-Choice Group Denounces Doritos Super Bowl Ad for ‘Humanizing Fetuses’
The pro-choice organization NARAL livetweeted their thoughts during the Super Bowl Sunday, at one point denouncing a Doritos ad for featuring a fetus.
The Doritos ad in question showed a father eating Doritos while his pregnant wife received an ultrasound. The baby reacts strongly to the Doritos whenever Dad gets close with a chip. At the end, the baby physically launches itself out of the womb to try to get Doritos.
But NARAL was having done of it.
#NotBuyingIt – that @Doritos ad using #antichoice tactic of humanizing fetuses & sexist tropes of dads as clueless & moms as uptight. #SB50

NARAL’s Twitter feed during the Big Game was generally joyless, pointing out micoraggression after microaggresion, each time urging followers to boycott the products with the hashtag #NotBuyingIt.
Another miss for @Hyundai – In their world, women are bad drivers who get distracted by the mere sight of a man. #NotBuyingIt #SB50

At one point, NARAL also retweeted an affiliate bashing the ad that celebrated children born nine months after the Super Bowl, saying the parents should have used birth control instead.
