   PALIN:

   Women’s Rights groups, like NOW, commendably call out advertisers and networks for airing sexist and demeaning portrayals of women that lead to young women’s diminished self-esteem and acceptance of roles as mere sexed-up objects.

   What a ridiculous situation they’re getting themselves into now with their protest of CBS airing a pro-life ad during the upcoming Super Bowl game. The ad will feature Heisman trophy winner Tim Tebow and his mom, and they’ll speak to the sanctity of life and the beautiful potential within every innocent child as Mrs. Tebow acknowledges her choice to give Tim life, despite less than ideal circumstances. Messages like this empower women! This speaks to the strength and commitment and nurturing spirit within women. The message says everything positive and nothing negative about the power of women – and life. Evidently, some women’s rights groups like NOW do not like that message.

   NOW is looking at the pro-life issue backwards. Women should be reminded that they are strong enough and smart enough to make decisions that allow for career and educational opportunities while still giving their babies a chance at life. In my own home, my daughter Bristol has also been challenged by pro-abortion “women’s rights” groups who don’t agree with her decision to have her baby, nor do they like the abstinence message which she articulated as her personal commitment. NOW could gain ground and credibility with everyday Americans, thus allowing their pro-women message to be heard by more than just their ardent supporters, if they made wiser decisions regarding which battles to pick. They should call attention to and embrace the Tebows’ message, instead of covertly and overtly disrespecting what Mrs. Tebow, Bristol, and millions of other women have chosen to do (in less than ideal circumstances).

   My message to these groups who are inexplicably offended by a pro-woman, pro-child, pro-life message airing during the Super Bowl: please concentrate on empowering women, help with efforts to prevent unexpected pregnancies, stay consistent with your message that for too long women have been made to feel like sex objects in our “modern” culture and that we can expect better in 2010. But don’t let your double standard glare so vividly as to undo some of the good to which you could contribute.

   And CBS: just do the right thing. Don’t cave. Have the backbone to run the ad.

   To the Tebows: thank you. America is listening. We appreciate you.

   Eh, honestly I’d be just as happy if CBS retained an anti-advocacy (PSAs aside) policy for the Super Bowl. I don’t need real life interfering with my Super Bowl Sunday.

   I’d bet $50 that the ad won’t make it on the air during the game.

   CBS Open to More Super Bowl Advocacy Ads
   Amid Furor Surrounding Tim Tebow’s Focus on the Family Ad, CBS Willing to Consider Other “Responsibly Produced” Messages

   Technically, the ad is NOT advocacy. It’s all about his life story.

   In a nutshell, this woman doesn’t want anyone to see that it turns out great sometimes even when the doctors say it won’t? There are lots of stories like this, from people I know where the doctor says butcher it and the parent doesn’t and has a fabulous kid. I say tell the other side of the story for once. I say, abort your own kids on your own time if the law allows and if you must, but let other people choose life, y’know? So frantic, poor woman.

7. Liz Says:

   No, I retract that about “abort your own kids.” In my heart of hearts I wish abortions were prohibited, it’s barbaristic and only people like the “ladies” on the View do it, and we’re trying to move into a more enlightened, more advanced society where even the little people have rights.

   Focus on the Family
   A Commentary by Susan Estrich
   http://www.rasmussenreports.com/public_content/political_commentary/commentary_by_susan_estrich/focus_on_the_family

   CBS will air an ad during the Super Bowl in which college football star Tim Tebow and his mother, Pam Tebow, discuss her decision not to have an abortion despite doctors’ advice to do so. The news is creating precisely the stir that its sponsor, the Christian conservative group Focus on the Family, was almost certainly hoping for. Women’s groups have called on CBS not to air the ad, arguing that the Super Bowl is no place for one of the most divisive issues in politics. CBS reportedly has approved the script and plans to run the ad.

   The irony is that the Tebow story has absolutely nothing to do with the question a woman with an unwanted pregnancy faces. Pam Tebow wanted to have her fifth child, but had become ill during a trip to the Philippines. It was on that basis that doctors recommended an abortion. She ignored them, mother and baby came through just fine, and he went on to win the Heisman trophy. God bless.

   What does that have to do with the situation facing a teenage girl pregnant with a child she cannot raise, or a mother who is told that her much-wanted child has a chromosomal condition that is inconsistent with life? What does it have to do with a rape or incest victim and her right not to carry the child of her abuser?

   I know plenty of stories like the Tebows’. Some of them end happily. Some do not. Few things are as awful as being told that the child you are carrying may not, or will not, live. Sometimes doctors are wrong, and sometimes they aren’t. Are the Tebows really telling American women to ignore their doctors’ advice, even when that advice is based on the best medical information? Are they telling women that they should risk their lives rather than have an abortion? Even the dissenters to Roe v. Wade would not go so far.

   The news that teenage pregnancies are up for the first time in years is what we should all be concerned about, working on, thinking about. No one is for abortion, at least not anyone who should be taken seriously. I have never met a woman who had an abortion who viewed it as anything other than a painful, difficult and often heartbreaking decision, particularly when the abortion is the result of medical advice that the woman cannot sustain the pregnancy or the baby will not survive.

   Thankfully, in the decades since Pam Tebow’s pregnancy, diagnostic techniques have improved, allowing doctors to give better advice. Hopefully today, her doctors would have been able to reassure her that both she and the baby would be fine, and abortion would not even have been an issue.

   Given that, the only connection between the Tebow story and the real abortion debate is its ability to make women who have made the painful choice of abortion feel bad. This is emotional manipulation, pure and simple.

   The not so subtle implication is that the fetus you aborted would have grown up to be some kind of superstar. How ridiculous. And frankly, how insulting. Without an athletic gene in my body, I can certainly say that I never expected any child of mine to win a Heisman. Like most mothers, I prayed only that they would be healthy. The suggestion that abortion is in any way connected to the value or the potential talents of the baby-to-be is so offensive that it is hard to believe Focus on the Family doesn’t see the distorted underside of their own advertisement.

   So be it. I might go to the bathroom during that ad or make popcorn. Focus on the Family is getting attention and will get more. But it is doing so by running an ad that is deceptive and ultimately cruel.

   Angus Reid Canadian Public Opinion Poll on Abortion
   January 15, 2010
   http://www.visioncritical.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/2010.01.15_Abortion_CAN.pdf

   Regulating Abortion

   When informed about existing regulations on abortion, three-in-ten Canadians (30%) endorse the status quo: Women being able to have an abortion at any time during their pregnancy, with no restrictions whatsoever.

   One-in-four respondents (24%) would prefer to see women being able to have an abortion during the first three months with no restrictions and then during the last six months but only if their life is in danger, if they have been the victim of rape, or if the fetus has serious defects.

   Other desired outcomes for a potential regulation are women being able to have an abortion only during the first three months of their pregnancy, with no other restrictions (15%), women being able to have an abortion during the first three months of their pregnancy, and only if their life is in danger, if they have been the victim of rape, or if the fetus has serious defects (13%), and women being able to have an abortion at any time during their pregnancy, but only if their life is in danger, if they have been the victim of rape, or if the fetus has serious defects (6%).

   Only five per cent of Canadians believe women should be forbidden from having an abortion under any circumstances.

   Personal Feeling

   When asked about their personal feeling toward abortion, 40 per cent of respondents say the procedure should be permitted in all cases, whereas 31 per cent say it should be allowed, but with some restrictions.

   Sixteen per cent of Canadians say abortion should only be permitted under extreme circumstances, such as a threat to the mother’s life, a case of rape or incest. Only five per cent of respondents would ban abortion altogether.

   Legality

   Almost half of Canadians (48%) say abortion should be legal under any circumstances, but 43 per cent say it should be legal only in certain cases. Four per cent believe the procedure should be illegal in all circumstances.

   Funding

   Respondents are split on whether Canada’s health care system should maintain its policy of covering the cost of abortions in all cases for Canadian citizens and permanent residents. While 43 per cent would maintain this policy, 41 per cent say the system should only pay for abortions in the event of a medical emergency.

   Women (50%) are much more likely than men (36%) to support the continuation of the current policy.

    Estrich honestly thinks this has nothing to do with women facing an “unwanted” pregnancy? Huh. Oh, so she thinks it should be an ad where some woman didn’t want a baby, got pregnant, is forced to have the baby, the baby turns out to be the love of her life, and she does a commercial about how happy she was. Nit pickers.

    O’Reilly didn’t “destroy” her. He could have. It would have been very easy to do so, but he was very restrained (unfortunately). He should have decimated her for the death-worshipper that she is.
