Everything is Wrong (The Ephrom Josine Show Ep. 121)

The Greatest Pro-Choice Ad Ever Made

Every time I go to write a column I always make sure to go to some of my "favorite" twitter accounts. People like Matt Walsh, Lila Rose, Live Action, and many more just to see what makes them angry (or you could say triggered) just to see how silly it is. Today I stumbled across a pro-choice ad that may just be the greatest case for abortion ever made. 

Matt Walsh called it the most disgusting pro-choice ad he'd ever seen, and other people said other things but I found that to be the funniest. I mean Live Action only called it "tone deaf." I mean come on Live Action! You guys compared abortion to slavery and the holocaust, and the best you got is "tone deaf." The ad has over 4,000 dislikes and less than 100 thumbs-ups. 

Watch it here.

The ad is simple: It shows clips of a baby moving around while lullaby music plays in the background. While this is going on words flash up on the screen. Those words are "she deserves to be loved," "she deserves to be wanted," and "she deserves to be a choice."

I love this ad for one reason: It cuts to the chase. None of this "we care about women and not kids" straw-man pro-lifers love using. Instead we get to see someone finally say "we care about kids more than you do, we just also understand reality better than you."

Unwanted children aren't always loved. This seems like common sense to anyone who isn't in the pro-life movement. Therefore, if you want children to always grow up in a household where they're loved, you must be pro-choice by definition. 

This also answers the one pro-life loaded question they love to phrase in a million different ways. I remember I once heard Dennis Prager ask if someone who is pro-choice would be okay with a homophobic woman aborting a child she knows will be gay. I answer yes. Why? Because homophobic parents of gay kids usually end of causing kids to have mental issues and -- a sad amount of the time -- they end up in the same place they would have if they were aborted with a large amount of suffering in the middle. 

So why are pro-lifers so angry at this ad? Because it hits them where it hurts. The only argument they've ever had is that they have the moral position and the people are seeing through it.
