Major Play for Focus on the Family
Common ground between abortion sides has always been to reduce the number of abortions and increase the love.
But when an pro-choice organization feels compelled to speak out about the Superbowl commercial below, they paint themselves a little less love and a little more death.
Sally Jenkins well-written article at WashPo sums it up well.
Tebow’s 30-second ad hasn’t even run yet, but it already has provoked “The National Organization for Women Who Only Think Like Us” to reveal something important about themselves: They aren’t actually “pro-choice” so much as they are pro-abortion. Pam Tebow has a genuine pro-choice story to tell. She got pregnant in 1987, post-Roe v. Wade, and while on a Christian mission in the Philippines, she contracted a tropical ailment. Doctors advised her the pregnancy could be dangerous, but she exercised her freedom of choice and now, 20-some years later, the outcome of that choice is her beauteous Heisman Trophy winner son, a chaste, proselytizing evangelical.
I love Sally Jenkins. She’s great.
And for all the pre-airing drama this commercial drummed up, it was totally vanilla. Makes me wonder if they made a last-minute change.
