Doritos Super Bowl Commercial




During Super Bowl 50 Frito Lay ran an ad for their Doritos chips which had abortion rights groups instantly outraged. If you haven’t seen the commercial, it features a mom and dad watching their child’s ultrasound, and the dad is eating a bag of nacho cheese Doritos. Every time the dad lifts a chip to his mouth, the baby reacts by reaching for the chip.

NARAL, the National Abortion Rights Action League, sent out this tweet following the airing of the commercial: “‪#NotBuyingIt‪ - that @Doritos ad using #antichoice tactic of humanizing fetuses…”

You read that right. Apparently its an “antichoice tactic” to humanize a fetus. In other words, it is a dirty trick to make baby humans look like baby humans.

Here’s what I’m not buying: Doritos didn’t humanize the baby, God did. He creates each life, giving children unique human DNA from the second of conception.

I realize that unborn children will not grab for a potato chip, but ultrasounds commonly show them wave, kick, hiccup, blink, sing, dance, and other human things.

This anger over a funny commercial only exposes NARAL’s fear that people will find out that an unborn baby is actually a living person, and therefor reject their barbaric business. That is why they fight tooth and toenail to prevent laws like the one in Texas which requires women to have an ultrasound prior to aborting their babies. They don’t want women looking at ultrasound machines that might humanize the fetus.

Conversely, the people at NARAL, Planned Parenthood, and other abortion-defending groups know the truth, but they suppress the truth. Knowing full well that these “fetuses” have beating hearts, working organs, and unique fingerprints, they use terms like, “product of conception,” “clump of tissue,” and “blob of cells.” This suppressing of facts helps deceive millions of young ladies into ending a life.


Maybe if we did more humanizing and less suppressing, Americans would reject this legal murder of the unborn once and for all.

To Save a Life

(Like my blog about the peace symbol, this blog was written as a default response to all the parents, students, and other people who are asking my opinion of To Save a Life.) By now you have probably heard of the movie To Save a Life, which opened nation-wide in theaters on January 22nd. The movie deals with so many issues that teens face today, like suicide, cutting, drinking, drugs, premarital sex, teen pregnancy, and abortion. At first glance this movie looks like an awesome resource that we should recommend for our teens, parents, youth pastors, and youth workers. But a closer look at the movie reveals a few disturbing things. For starters, according to pluggedin.com, there are 2 uses of the “A” word, 5 uses of hell (used as a curse word), and once the “D” word is used. There are other crude terms used to describe a girl, and crude terms for referring to sexual activity. There is also a bedroom scene that shows a girl removing a boy’s shirt, then afterwards the girl putting he...

Catechism #15

Q. By what sin did our first parents fall from their original condition? 
A. Our first parents’ sin was eating the forbidden fruit. The first sin we see in the Bible was in the eating of the forbidden fruit by Adam and Eve. But as we saw last week, there are sins of commission and omission. The eating of the fruit was an act of commission—a sin that was committed in the Garden of Eden. But before Eve ever took her first bite, a few sins of omission occurred that led up to the sin of commission. First, notice that it was Eve, not Adam, that did all the talking with the serpent in Genesis 3. Yet it was Adam, not Eve, who was created as the spiritual leader of the family. For whatever reason Adam abdicated his role as the spiritual leader and stood silently by as Eve ate the fruit. After Eve’s bite, she gave it to Adam, and he ate it too. Not only did Adam omit his role as leader, Eve omitted her trust in the goodness of God. Not only did she misquote God ...

All Things To All Men

One of our favorite verses to use in our evangelism methods is where Paul said that he “becomes all things to all men” so that he might “by all means save some (I Corinthians 9:22).” This is certainly a good idea if we keep it in its proper context and application. For example, I remember a time in high school where I knew a kid that loved skateboarding. Being the chicken that I am, I was never a skateboarder. All he would talk about was skating, and I knew none of his lingo. But to help develop a relationship with him (he was new to our church and didn’t know many people), I brushed up on my skating lingo so I could ask if he had done any sick ollies lately (impressed?). This would be like Paul saying “to the skateboarder, I became a skateboarder.” This is effective and necessary. But then there are the people that use this verse to justify doing sinful things in the name of evangelism. The first one that comes to mind is about drinking. Some people will go into the bars to evan...
