Pro-Abortion Group Slams Doritos Super Bowl Ad for 'Humanizing Fetuses'

A leading pro-choice group is up in arms over a Doritos ad aired during Sunday’s Super Bowl, accusing it of using a tactic of anti-abortionists by "humanizing" a fetus.

In the commercial, a father-to-be is seen snacking a way on a bag of Doritos as a doctor gives his pregnant wife an ultrasound. When he realizes his unborn baby is moving every time he pulls out a corn chip, he begins teasing it.

Fed up, his wife grabs one of the chips and throws it across the room, prompting the fetus to launch itself out of the womb in pursuit.

In a tweet, NARAL Pro-Choice America slammed the ad:

#NotBuyingIt - that @Doritos ad using #antichoice tactic of humanizing fetuses & sexist tropes of dads as clueless & moms as uptight. #SB50

The complaint, as reported by The Blaze, was immediately jumped on Twitter users:

"Humanizing fetuses"? What is Mom preganant with? A potato? A duck? Nope - a human. Say it with me. She's a baby. @NARAL @Doritos

Not that I needed a reason, but I'm buying a ton of Doritos tomorrow. :) Hey, @NARAL, a fetus IS human. Did you flunk biology?

@NARAL @Doritos acknowledges the humanity of an unborn life in an ad and anti-life/pro-abortion radicals come unhinged. #SB50
