I was surfing on funny commercials on Youtube

And then suddenly ended up on the wierd part, finding a ‘pro-life’ commercial where they ‘change peoples mind’ about abortion in less than 35 secs.

The commercial is actually for a 30min long documentary, and since I like to get my facts straigt I watches it. And I’m now more pro choice than ever!

I mean, no offense to pro-life people. I’m sure theres a good reason for feeling as they do, and I /do/ understand why they think as they do. But seeing in this movie how they put 2 completely different ‘what-if’ scenarios up against each other, and THEN use it to emotionally blackmail these people into changing their mind, using examples like the bibles words and Hitler so get them to change their mind while filming them, made me so upset.

sorry, just had to get it out there. I do not think that is okay

The thing about what ifs is that it goes both ways. “what if the baby cures cancer?” well what if it becomes a genocidal dictator? Can’t use fake scenarios to justify a cause. It’s also why I don’t like people using the bible as evidence.
