Who is Pro-Choice? HuffPo Censors Pro-Lifers
Heisman Trophy winner Tim Tebow has never faced defense like this.
A devout Christian, who writes Scripture citations in his eye black, and is an advocate of chastity, Tebow has faced a fair amount of ribbing for his beliefs. But the opposition he received from women’s groups like NOW over the 30 second TV commercial from Focus on the Family featuring his mother must have rocked him back on his heels. Just what happens in that brief commercial which has NOW petitioning CBS to drop the ad? Choice. Pure and simple, The ad is pro-choice, in the true sense of the word.
Tim’s parents were working as Christian missionaries in the Philippines while his mother was expecting him. She contracted an illness for which she was taking antibiotics. Her physician strongly urged her to abort Tim, because it was thought that he would have severe birth defects. Pam Tebow defied her doctor and chose life for her son. And advocates of ‘choice’ can’t handle it. To them, only once choice is valid. Abortion.
For groups like NOW , Women’s Media Center and EMILY’s List (a pro-abortion PAC) to call themselves pro-choice is disingenuous, when they land like vultures upon those women whose choice is life. These groups are working to suppress the commercial, and Gloria Allred is leading the charge. A piece in The Huffington Post; “Tebow Ad may be based on Falsehood“, pulls out all the stops, calling the premise of the commercial a lie, and threatening a lawsuit with the FTC and the FCC if CBS airs the spot. Since abortion under any circumstance was illegal in the Philippines at the time of Pam Tebow’s pregnancy, Allred claims that Pam Tebow’s doctor could not possibly have recommended it.
“The attorney, who has represented a roster of famous clients, claims she will lodge a complaint with the FCC and FTC ‘if this ad airs and fails to disclose that abortions were illegal at the time Ms. Tebow made her choice,’ according to RadarOnline.”
Ms Allred, I think you know that abortion was legal in the US in 1987, and if Mrs Tebow had wanted one, she could have flown home. Flying can be dangerous for unborn babies, but would it have mattered to her if abortion was her intention? Your complaint is nothing but an empty threat seeking a leftist judge. You are intolerant of real women’s choices and of free speech, both of which you claim to represent. What you really want is for your opinion to be the only one tolerated in the mainstream media. I can’t blame you for being upset at this sudden burst of fair-mindedness at CBS,after all, this has been the status quo for so long.
Pro-life groups like Life Site News and Catholic Vote want is for a different point of view to be aired during the Superbowl. They have collected over 70,000 signatures in support of CBS airing the ad. This is not their first attempt to have their voices heard. Last year Catholic Vote’s spot, “Life: Imagine the Potential” was turned down for a Superbowl ad by NBC and CNN. It features a film of a sonogram of an active, unborn baby while the captions described how many obstacles stood in the way of this baby boy’s success in life, then ends with a shot of President Obama whose life they were describing, and the tag line, “life; imagine the potential”. This was considered too controversial for airing. Seems like CBS is more fair minded, or they sense change in the wind.
While the left clings to its lawsuits, those who favor choice will, at last, be heard.
One must consider the plight of the poor beleaguered pro-"choicers."
The Tebow "choice" is repugnant to the "pro-choice" movement for many reasons, not the least of which is that they accept only ONE "choice;" death. The "death-ers" offer their devotions to any and all justifications for the killing of an unborn child. A favorite is the one where the child "may" be less than perfect. Of course, perfection to the deathers is measured on a rather broad and flexible scale. The Hitlerian criteria of "choice" certainly comes to mind…anything Jewish was (still is to many) a prime factor in choosing death…before, during and after birth. More recently, recall the vitriol aimed at Sarah Palin for defying their criteria and giving birth to something they consider to be less than human (This is evidenced by their refusal to accept the human fetus as a real person).
With that in mind, we can readily see the deathers Tebow position. She dared to give birth to one diagnosed as "possibly" unable to achieve full, credible person status; as judged against their own wonderful selves. Mrs Tebow further attains demonhood by proving the medical diagnosis/prognosis as inaccurate.
THEN top all of that off with the Tebows daring to be Christians, of all things! Well, of course then, with all of that in their arsenal, that family has taken carte blanche aim at the all-scient-superior-intellect of the deathers…poor babies.
The wicked always mislabel their sins. For example, prochoice is really prodeath as they are baby killers; lying may mean exaggerating. But don’t fret because-
Proverbs 2:22-The wicked will be cut off from the earth and the transgressors uprooted from it.
Typical of the left to try to silent speech that they disagree with as opposed to debate it. If they can prevent the message from getting out then they don't have to argue the merits of the message. To use their own logic, its too bad that Arianna, Allred, and the others who argue for abortion weren't aborted themselves. That would seem like some sort of moral equality to me.
Amen…
Maybe someone should create an ad that shows all the dead women who elected to keep their babies in similar circumstances to Mrs. Tebow. The doctors recommended abortion because the condition she had is usually fatal to the unborn child AND the mother. God apparently doesn't intervene in all cases, folks. Most of the time, these complications end very badly.
Maybe someone should create an ad that shows all the dead women babies??
Speaking from experience, My wife was also advised to abort…she didn't…healthy and LOVED little girl was born. Any excuse to kill them babies!
Still not a reason to play God and try making that decision ourselves. It it's God's will to take the child and mom, then so be it, but who are we to try and play God??
An abortion ALWAYS ends in death!
I have no issue with women who abort in that instance. Abortion as birth control, which is what it has become for so many, is worse that Hitlers holocaust…40 million dead. In a couple of years we will pass Stalin, the lefts favorite
Planned Parenthood doesn't offer a real choice. If you go for a pregnancy test, and it's positive, and ask for a referral for adoption, they will ridicule you and refuse to give you anything — I know, it happened when I asked for an adoption referral. They are liars and hypocrites with one agenda, the abortion of every pregnancy that walks in the door. They assume that every person coming in is too poor to go to have insurance and a primary care physician, and their objective is to halt reproduction among that population — which is judged unworthy of reproducing. Eugenics. They don't want women to be empowered to question any reason to terminate a pregnancy, and that's what this commercial will do.
I was told my APF (pregnancy test for spinal defects) was much, much too high with my middle son, and I should terminate the pregnancy. He is sixteen, six-four and a wonderful young man with no spinal bifida or other birth defects. I had the self confidence to say no, but how many women do?
You are correct! Planned NON-Parenthood makes no money on adoption. They have reaped fortunes killing babies.
I am pro choice, because of economic and moral concerns. Why should we have to pay for another person's child. Numerous underage teens are having children and are provided welfare and food stamps. I have an eleventh grade unmarried student who just delivered her second child, by another father.
What right has any person to demand that another deliver a child. A person's body is his or her own, and he or she has a right to decide what happens to it.
However, I do believe society should help abused men and women until they can economically establish themselves and support their families.
So do you think we should kill all children that are a drain on our social services? Or should we just kill the really little ones?
LOL, so do you adopt children and support them? Do you go to battered children's home to help out? Probably not. You expect others to do what you believe is morally correct regardless of the economics?
As a retired teacher I do not believe in abortion for any reason. I've taught children of every color, every race,…children of rape(according to their mothers},children of incest(according to their divorced grandmothers) and I've never taught a child that didn't have aright to life!!! However, I do understand the importance of "choice" for liberals. Along with a woman's "right" to kill her unborn comes a woman's "right" to have sex with every handsome man in town. So we as women can just "choose,choose, choose and nobody takes responsibility for what they do,because everyone does what is right in their own eyes. Which ,I assume, the reason 75% of the men in the United States Congress keep silence on this issue. However, we might need to ask some sterling character in in Washington..like Mr. John Edwards, who recently discovered it isn't "just a woman's body after all"…it's another body inside of her's. It isn't even Her DNA.
