Do they have the right to do the ad? Sure. Does CBS have the right to air it? Sure.
But personally, I find it fucking hypocritical of CBS, after years of a "no advocacy on the Super Bowl" position, to do this. Just as a reminder, they've blocked ads from moveon.org and a liberal church supporting gay rights in the past.
Oh, and I've yet to see anyone petitioning the government to stop this ad from being aired, so this whole "censor voices" thing is nonsense. CBS has the right to show the ads they want, and "militant pro choicers" have the right to criticize CBS for it however they want. Freedom of speech does not protect one from criticism.
