Did Cheerios just air a pro-life commercial?

Cheerios, the cereal that used to promote health and wellness using a cute little bumble bee is now sharing its views on abortion. In their latest commercial, the 30 second advertisement shows about 27 seconds of footage of babies doing "cute" things and couples kissing. In the midst of it all is a flash of words saying "more babies please..."

Now, first of all, I am NOT looking too far into this. The commercial was not even over yet and I had already come up with that conclusion. Once the commercial ended and I stood their baffled for a good five minutes, I quickly raced to youtube and found that same commercial and watched it over and over and over again. "MORE BABIES PLEASE???" How about a bit less of a political request Cheerios? I was watching this commercial and I am pretty sure I heard my uterus let out a sigh. We beg one another to keep the political conversations away from the dinner table but I guess it's totally fine to have political propaganda directly in my breakfast. If you had an abortion and had to watch this, I am sorry. If you can not physically conceive a child, I am sorry. If you watched this and your pro-life self was jumping for joy and went out and bought every box of cereal the store had...I am so sorry.

Feel free to watch this and hear your uterus talk. And if you do not have a uterus then I promise you, you'll hear your neighbors uterus. Let's keep the baby talk for the human beings under the age of 3, shall we?

Thank You on wooden blocks

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!
