 CatholicVote Uses Obama to Illustrate Analogy of Hope vs. Abortion Published: Jan 23, 09 Views: 2,995 President Obama’s name and image are used on a number of products and causes that vary in their relevance, but this pro-life ad by CatholicVote contrasts the president in a most compelling way—no matter your views on abortion. The CatholicVote ad shows an ultrasound of a developing fetus with superimposed statistics we’ve often heard about African-American families. In the middle of the ad, the music builds up in tempo and the copy similarly changes its tune: “Despite the hardships he will endure, this child will become the 1st African-American president.” The ultrasound shots segue into President Obama and his family on Inauguration Day for the powerful climax. The closing words of the ad, “Life: Imagine the Potential,” are superimposed atop a shot of President Obama’s torso. This message is similar to Obama’s theme of hope, which was so frequently repeated throughout the campaign.  No matter your stand on abortion, you have to admit this pro-life commercial from CatholicVote featuring President Obama moves you just a little bit. Doesn't it?
Oh sure, CatholicVote is milking this for all its worth but there are two sides to every story and this is one of the better Pro-life arguments we've seen in recent memory.
