It's a 30 second commercial that few have previewed which heralds the sacrificial love of a mother for her unborn child, but apparently, some things are not to be tolerated by those peccant progressives with their enlightened view of the world.
"The Heisman Trophy winning quarterback — one of the most celebrated college football players of all time — has cut an ad with his mother Pam, who tells of her decision not to end her 1987 pregnancy in spite of advice from doctors to do so. Pam Tebow and her husband were working as missionaries in the Philippines at the time when doctors there advised her to have an abortion due to health concerns. She did not, and Tim Tebow was born.
The ad will debut during the Super Bowl, prompting protests from numerous women’s groups and organizations supporting abortion that say the ad violates CBS’s longstanding tradition of not airing controversial ads during sports events.
“The abortion debate has no place in the Super Bowl. I organize abortion rights rallies all the time and I recognize how inappropriate it would be for me to sit in the stands with signs at the Super Bowl,” said Erin Matson, vice president of the National Organization for Women, which has called on CBS to reject the ad."
"...no place in the Super Bowl?" It's the story of a Heisman Trophy winning quarterback, the triumph of family and a mother's love. That seems to me to be exactly the place for such a high profile advertisement. Unless, of course, one is a boisterous bigot opposed to those kinds of choices, then I can understand their objection.
It is encouraging, though, to notice that some Lefties agree with me and see this as nothing more than the free market doing what it does best - offer choice. Unless, of course, one is a fickle fascist opposed to those kinds of choices, then I can understand their objection.
