You can’t say this ad doesn’t carry its message home. Check the flip or click here for a full view of this ad from the folks of at the Child Abuse Prevention Center’s No on 1D campaign. It features toe tags on the feet of an infant to protest the cuts to the First 5 programs.

I think that was way below the belt. HARSH!!
I’m not sure how the “BABY KILLER” headline will play with the anti-abortion folks, but, considering how well it’s worked for the “pro-life” movement over the last 40 years, I have a strange feeling that many pro-choicers will get turned off by that headline and not take the rest of the ad seriously-or vote for 1D just to spite the ad-makers.
Then again, if the anti-abortion folks are behind this ad, or are brought in because of it, this could be a net plus. They have a lot of resources and a base that is relatively easily organized. In a special election turnout game, that might just put the no side on top. Moreover, the anti-abortion folks are more likely to be conservatives who are in turn more likely to oppose the rest of the special election deal. But before I read too much into this and credit this one ad with bringing down the Schwarzenegger Administration, I would like to see the anti-abortion reaction to this.
