Super Bowl Ads: Anti-Abortion Commercial to Air

ABC.com’s Brinda Adhikari interviews NOW Vice President Erin Matson about the anti-choice ad paid for by Focus on the Family that will air on Super Bowl Sunday: “This would be a break from tradition for the broadcast television networks, all of which have previously declined to air polarizing advocacy ads. In 2004, CBS and its competitors rejected an ad by the United Church of Christ, welcoming gays and others who may have felt felt snubbed by more conservative churches. At the time, CBS was heavily criticized. It says that in recent months, it has run more issue-oriented advertising, such as ones for health care. “
