What could be more fun than watching the humorless nags of the Left consistently walk into the business end of the same half-open door time and time again and pick up a fresh shiner? Because they can’t help but project their own congenital guilt, rage and misery on everyone else, they’re absolutely sure of two things:

1) Everything is a conspiracy directed against them and the moral high horses they rode in on, and –

2) There’s always a hidden subtext, usually either racist, sexist or homophobic, lurking beneath the Right’s every thought, word and deed.

Which is why they went prematurely bananas over the Tim Tebow/Focus on the Family ads that played yesterday during the Super Bowl pre-game show and during the game itself.  In case you missed them, here they are:

Watch ad #2 after the jump: (more…)

During today’s Super Bowl, football fans will see a thirty-second commercial depicting Heisman Trophy winner Tim Tebow and his mother expressing gratitude that, 23 years ago, Mrs. Tebow chose not to abort Tim when she was pregnant and advised to do so by her doctors.  The ad will cost about $3 million for its sponsor, the religious group Focus on the Family.

The ad has evoked angry criticism primarily from anachronistic feminists (and, inexplicably, a few homosexual groups) who, I’ll wager, don’t even watch much football regularly much less tune in the Super Bowl.  Nevertheless, these graying feminists have exploded in fury at Mrs. Tebow expressing joy for the life of her son – my son the college student, my son the Heisman Trophy winner.  But why express such anger and venom at a mother’s pride?

If I were to guess, the reason is that these “aborto-fanatics” (my term) cannot respond in kind.  Focus on the Family shows the triumph of choosing life.  How Mrs. Tebow’s choice made a “we” out of “me.”  What can NOW show?  What proud accomplishments can NARAL highlight?  A massive body count and the millions it has paid the abortion industry.

At this late date it appears CBS is not going to surrender to pro-abort pressure and renege on its agreement to run Focus on the Family’s life advocacy ad featuring Heisman Trophy winner Tim Tebow and his mother Pam on today’s
Super Bowl telecast.

In fact, Focus on the Family is now announcing that it is running a second ad, also featuring Tebow, during the pre-game show — an ad that will run four times.

In the n-game thirty-second ad, Pam is prompted to describe her harrowing experience of suffering from a life-threatening illness while pregnant with Tim in 1987, yet rejecting her doctors’ recommendation to abort. She and husband Bob were serving as missionaries in the Philippines at the time.

But the battle against CBS has generated a battle over the battle. Has opposing the Tebow ad been public relations capital well spent?

No, but don’t take my word for it. I’ll let the opinions of abortion proponents speak. First, a January 31 editorial by the notoriously liberal New York Times: (more…)

The Huffington Post is reporting that everybody’s favorite, too-classy-for-words feminist attorney, Gloria Allred, has written a protest letter to CBS over their decision to run the Tim Tebow celebrate-life ad during this year’s Superbowl.

Ms. Allred’s complaint?  That the ad (which she has not seen) will imply or state outright “false” and “misleading information.”  You see, Ms. Allred contends that since Mrs. Tebow was living in the Philippines (as a Christian missionary) at the time she became pregnant with Tim, and that since Philippine law prohibits abortion, then she would not have – could not have – been advised by her doctor to have an abortion for health reasons.

Now, I’m no lawyer but I am a woman.  And every woman knows full well that women were getting counseled to have abortions for health reasons before abortion became legal in the United States.  In fact, doctors were performing D&Cs for women who were pregnant without a single soul outside the operating room being the wiser.  Even before Roe, doctors were advising an expectant mother about health problems and risks to her pre-born child.  It would surely take a fool to believe that doctors in the Philippines are so different.
