What this issue shows is the progressives do not want people to hear any other ideas but theirs. Fact is, I believe in reproductive rights. You have the right not to get pregnant. Once you are, however, you become the caretaker of a new life. It is my firm belief those who favor abortion should be subjected to it. Post natal. I'll bet you that would change a few minds and some behavior.

Yes, not only do those favor killing babies demand the "right" to do it, but also the "right" not to have to hear any objections.

Is this the stupidest thing you've heard since Obama's last statement, or what:

"An ad that uses sports to divide rather than to unite has no place in the biggest national sports event of the year -- an event designed to bring Americans together," Jehmu Greene, president of the Women's Media Center, told AP.

I've been watching Super Bowls since Bart Starr vs Lenny Dawson in "I" and this is the first I've heard the event so described. Always thought it was designed to be a pro football championship game. Or, in the immortal words of the late Johnny Carson, "I did not know that."

Say, isn't the "Women's Media Center" one of the groups that used to perpetuate the LIE that violence against women spikes during the Super Bowl?

""An ad that uses sports to divide rather than to unite has no place in the biggest national sports event of the year -- an event designed to bring Americans together"

Its an event designed to make money and entertain You stupid obnoxious twit!

Liberals are for each of us getting to express our own thoughts - DIVERSITY - is encouraged.
Unless it's something they oppose. It's no longer "patriotic", it's "disruptive or obstructionist". Or as Barry would say, "STFU and get out of the way!"

Of course they don't want to hear opposing views. How often would you want to be reminded that you advocate the murder of innocents?

So ... in lieu of encouraging the network to reject this ad, why can't pro-choice groups pass the hat around to buy their OWN ad?

JamesH: "So ... in lieu of encouraging the network to reject this ad, why can't pro-choice groups pass the hat around to buy their OWN ad?"

Oh, they will. They will.

Just as soon as they receive their fair share of our taxes through a federal subsidy direct from ObamaChicagoInc.

You know, the way all "legitimate" organizations do.

Plus, their ad will probably be properly "peer reviewed" by "non-partisan" academics, at least according to the "non-partisan" Soros-funded (insert name of one of the myriad of liberal organizations funded by well-known "pro-American" George Soros here).

"An ad that uses sports to divide rather than to unite has no place in the biggest national sports event of the year -- an event designed to bring Americans together,"

Wow.
Next they'll be saying that the Super Bowl should always end in a draw so that nobody gets their feelings hurt, 'cause that would be devisive along, you know, team lines of fan support or something.
Everybody wins when nobody loses.
(except the aborted babies, but Hey!, they can't vote Democrat anyhow)

God bless Tim and his family for having the fortitude to live according to their convictions. It's a shame the same people who advocate killing babies now want to kill free speech (unless it is their speech of course).

I thought abortion was a "women's rights issue?"

Do women not have the right to choose not to have an abortion?

And some Yahoo sportswriter is already taking shots at Tebow's "inability to line up under center." "Will it destroy his NFL chances?" Ya think his pro life stand might be responsible for this jerks article? Nah. Surely not!

Do women not have the right to choose not to have an abortion?

Of course they do. Which is why it strikes me that NARAL et. al. would do well to put together their own advertisement. They could feature interviews with one or more women who obtained abortions and are willing to speak about how they made the right decision.

Or something like that. Maybe an ad memorializing George Tiller. Perhaps a simple placard that says, "Choose. It's your right."* Seems to me this is an opportunity to buy an advertisement and reach an audience. It's a shame the pro-choice side does not seem to realize this.

* Note: Pro-lifers objections to the ad are precisely as relevant as pro-choicers' objections to the pro-life ad.

James H.,

I do not think anyone here objects to a "pro-choicer's" ad. The only objection I have heard is that we don't want our tax money spent on it. You must have us confused with leftists who have "speech codes" on campuses or leftists who believe that "pro-life" speech should be suppressed.

Not necessarily here ... I'm thinking of some of the Brent Bozell types who make policing content their business.

"An ad that uses sports to divide rather than to unite has no place in the biggest national sports event of the year -- an event designed to bring Americans together," Jehmu Greene
What, does she think the Colts and Saints are going to gather in a circle and sing "We Shall Overcome"? Someone should explain to this poor confused woman the competitive nature of "the biggest sporting event of the year".

Its interesting to note just how defensive those who support the right to choose become, when an alternate choice is demonstrated.

Its not like she's shooting wolf cubs from an airplane - she just chose not to kill a baby. Whats the issue?

I do not think anyone here objects to a "pro-choicer's" ad.
~SER

I object.
The grounds for my objection are that I am PRO-Truth in Advertising.

"Pro-Choice" proponets are nothing of the sort, as evidenced by their efforts to prohibit the advertising for the alternative to abortion, which is pro-life.

Pro-Abortion ads I'm OK with, as long as the lies stop on the pro-abortion side.

"Choice" implies alternatives. The "pro-choice" position is presumably that a pregnant woman can choose abortion or choose life. Anyone who is offended or upset by this ad is not pro-choice; she is simply pro-abortion because that is the only alternative she considers appropriate.

I am a retired air forc special operations veteran and a Christian, thank God for People like Tim Tebow, I'm also a Gator Fan and I was born in Milton Florida. MY LIFE LONG MESSAGE TO PEOPLE WHO ARE PRO-CHOICE(YES THEY ARE REALLY PRO-ABORTIONIST, WE ARE NOT STUPID). THIS IS IT, LISTEN GOOD, HERE GOES; PEOPLE FOR ABORTION, THEY'VE BEEN BORN!!!!!!!!!!! NUFF SAID.

Some call it ABORTION some call it FREEDOM OF CHOICE its realy LEGALIZED MURDER

A Nation that murders its children has NO hope. Good for Tebow
