Mother Jones kicked off the 40th anniversary of the Supreme Court’s Roe v. Wade decision with a poorly considered “happy birthday” wish, so why not a “happy anniversary” as well, complete with a rose and some slow jams in the background? “True Blood’s” Mehcad Brooks stars in a “sexy” spot put together by the Center for Reproductive Rights, but the humor of the ad is lost on quite a few who don’t consider 40 years of abortion a laughing matter.
@ReproRights @MehcadBrooks "Hey BABY?" Very sick ad. Celebrating your "right" to kill is repulsive & vile.

Hey, baby? Really? Sorry, Mehcad, baby can’t hear you.
I don't know what @MehcadBrooks was thinking, but he should be ashamed of himself. Who toasts to dead babies? #TheFive

Who toasts to dead babies? That’s not a question we thought would ever be asked, but now it even has an answer: Mehcad Brooks. Just how offensive is that spot? Let Twitter count the ways.
@MelissaTweets That's not only abortion creepy, it's racist and sexist creepy too. @JammieWF

Do you @MehcadBrooks realize your disgusting ad celebrates the fact OVER 55 MILLION INNOCENT UNBORN BABIES WERE MURDERED? @HBO @USANetwork

@MehcadBrooks Nice abortion ad! Dr. King would be ashamed. He rightly called abortiion Black Genocide. Do you know about Sanger?

@thesavvy @MehcadBrooks Truly one of the most tasteless things I've seen. "Baby"? My Lord, do these Leftist monsters have no shame?

@MehcadBrooks Happy 40th Anniversary, BABY? Are you talking to all the BABIES murdered in their mother's wombs? You should be ashamed.

@MehcadBrooks Was there some strange contest on the number of times you could say "baby" in an ad celebrating abortion?

@MehcadBrooks Congrats for being an ignorant pawn in an insulting ad celebrating 55 million deaths. You looked like a complete a-hole. #tcot

The sickest pro-abortion ad with @MehcadBrooks , a rose to the women who have murdered their children in the past 40 years. no shame. #tcot
