Opponents of Amendment 2 have put together a quick response to U.S. Senate candidate Claire McCaskill’s powerful television ad featuring actor Michael J. Fox in support of the Stem Cell Initiative.
The Anti-Stem Cell ad features a handful of celebrities including former Rams quarterback Kurt Warner, Cardinals pitcher Jeff Suppan, and actors Patricia Heaton (”Everybody Loves Raymond”) and Jim Caviezel (”The Passion of the Christ”).
The ad was paid for by the Life Communications Fund. It appears to have been put together quickly, at times seemingly shot with a consumer camcorder. It is not clear if it is being considered for television at this time or if another version will be shot.
UPDATE: According to the Drudge Report, this ad will air tomorrow during Game 4 of the World Series.
UPDATE 2:This video from a Chicago TV station and this story in USA Today outlines some of the controversy stemming (no pun intended) from Michael J. Fox’s ad and comments made in response by conservative radio talk show host Rush Limbaugh.
