In 1999, Couples for Christ & Teodora made two series of abortion PSAs which are called "Manger" and "Twinkle". The two PSAs are deemed to be disturbing and unsettling, especially the "Manger" one where a human fetus was shown.

Premise

The "Manger" version starts with a child singing Do You Hear What I Hear? with a zoom of the manger's blanket. A closeup of the blanket was shown and blood then drops to the blanket. A stick was then dropped, and after that, a human fetus was dropped with a closeup of it shown. The manger was then shown again with words appearing: WHATEVER YOU DO TO THE LEAST OF MY BROTHERS, YOU DO UNTO ME. The words FOR CHRIST'S SAKE, FORGET ABORTION and the end card was shown.

The "Twinkle" version starts with a black background and a female child singing Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star. After seconds, the words: 30 seconds of darkness in memory of millions of aborted babies who never saw the light of day and Stop Abortion Now. The hotline was then shown and the logos of Couple for Christ and Teodora.
