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.

Pro-abort blogger Jenna Henry Hansen at the Huffington Post is typical of many in her dwindling tribe who feel the need to add this caveat when discussing abortion:

Every time I discuss abortion I find it necessary to mention that pro-choice does not mean pro-abortion. A person identifying her or his self as pro-choice supports a woman’s right to choose whether or not to be a parent at that time.

Were that statement actually true, a pro-abort would spend 50% of his or her time supporting the sanctity of preborn human life and 50% supporting the killing of preborn human life.

Of course, that’s not what happens. And I don’t know why pro-aborts are so defensive about it. Abortion kills a blob of tissue at worst or a parasite at best, so they say; big deal. The fact is that pro-aborts abhor any and all support of preborn human life.  That includes conversations… for even 30 seconds. (more…)
