A new pro-life ad that depicts an unborn child who grows up to become President-elect Barack Obama will air repeatedly in Chicago during Black Entertainment Television’s coverage of the president-elect’s inauguration.
The 30-second spot is the first in a planned series of an education advertisement campaign titled “Life: Imagine the Potential.”
The ad displays an ultrasound of a baby and says “This child’s future is a broken home.” The ad says the unborn boy will be abandoned by his father and his single mother will struggle to raise him.
Despite the hardships, the ad continues, this child will become the first African-American president.
