NBC Executives have rejected a popular ad, titled “Imagine Spot 1,” that was produced by CatholicVote.org, a subsidiary of Fidelis. It contains no graphic images, no politically divisive statements, no didactic rhetoric. Rather the ad shows an ultrasound image of a living, moving, growing baby in the womb. The ad describes the life the unborn child will face and the many hardships in it. The end, however, focuses on an incredibly the amazing potential life contains.
