Cultural Analysis: AD


Abortion is a controversial topic all around the world. There are people who are against abortion and believe in banning the act killing the fetus at any stage of pregnancy, however, there are people who are pro-choice, and believe that the women should have the right to choose to abort the fetus or not. This ad is depicting an African American male, holding an unborn child in heaven and saying "I know how you feel! When I was a slave down, there, the courts didn't think I was fully human either." The ad is advocating the pro-life argument, by relating the subject of abortion to slavery. During the time of slavery African Americans were not considered fully humans by the court systems; The courts also legalized abortion which suggest that they believe that a human fetus is also not considered fully human. The ad affiliates two negatives to make the audience believe that they actually are related.
