Call on CBS to Drop Focus on the Family Super Bowl Ad
CBS cleared the way to subject nearly 100 million people to Focus on the Family’s extreme agenda by agreeing to air its new anti-choice ad during the Super Bowl.
Focus on the Family has an unmistakable anti-choice, anti-birth-control, anti-sex-education, anti-gay agenda. If that wasn’t bad enough, its views on women are just plain insulting and dangerous. For example, its website urges women facing an unintended pregnancy to seek “wise advice” because “the hormones and extreme emotions of pregnancy make reasonable decisions more difficult.”
We can’t just sit by while CBS lets Focus on the Family place a political ad during the Super Bowl, when millions of people are watching ads.
Urge CBS to drop Focus on the Family’s ad.
Dear CBS,
As someone who plans to watch the Super Bowl on February 7, I urge you to reconsider your decision to allow Focus on the Family to air an ad during the Super Bowl. This would be consistent with your previous decisions on advocacy ads.
Focus on the Family has a clear agenda that many of your viewers do not agree with. Regardless of the tone or content of the ad, anything produced by Focus on the Family conveys an implicit political message. Your recent decision to allow "responsibly produced" advertising is unclear and doesn't give me assurance that the rules will be applied fairly. Please do not air the Focus on Family ad.
The signature deadline has been reached for this petition. Thanks for your interest!
