Uber-Scary ‘Pro-Life’ Super Bowl Ad, Feminist Lunacy
“Feminist lunacy” is sort of redundant. As for the ad itself, you might want to remove any children (who you’ve been “punished” by) from the room before watching this uber scary video. This is the pre-game ad from Pam and Tim Tebow and Focus on the Family that caused such consternation from Feminists. The second ad was allegedly more “controversial” and didn’t air until game time. In that one, from all the feminist shrieking, including lawsuit threats by Gloria Allred, I thought that Mrs. Tebow may have actually mentioned that she chose (not the Newspeak feminist version of chose) not to have an abortion. Oh, the horror!
This is truly terrifying stuff! This ad is part of what had all those feminists up in arms. Behold! (If you can bear watching it without shielding your eyes in horror! A Mom, loves her son. And is proud of him. Egads!)
I know Tim Tebow also loves his Mommy and is awfully proud of her. And so am I.
When the second Tebow ad ran, the one that was allegedly “controversial”, I just saw more of the same. Correct me if I’m wrong, but it seemed to be almost the same as the first ad and didn’t even mention Pam Tebow’s decision to continue her pregnancy and not abort. It was just more love between a Mom and son. Shocking! Here it is, so you can judge for yourselves:
And that, those oh-so-shocking ads, portraying a Mother’s love for her son, are what had Feminists’ panties (sorry for that visual) in a bunch. Of course, they had nothing to say about the Go Daddy ads, as Ed Morrissey notes. Lunacy.
National Organization for Women (NOW) President, Terry O’Neill went so far as to say the following about the Tebow ad, in response to Sarah Palin’s defense of the same:
In a statement to POLITICO, NOW President Terry O’Neill said that Palin is “missing our point.”
“The goal of the Focus on the Family ad is not to empower women. It’s to create a climate in which Roe v. Wade can be overturned,” O’Neill said. “There are always going to be women who need abortions. In this country, one in three women will have an abortion.”
Wow. An ad showing the love between a Mom and a son creates a “climate” to overturn Roe v. Wade? If Roe v. Wade is on such shaky ground, doesn’t that sort of take the wind out of the sails of the validity of your pro-abortion arguments, Miss O’Neill? And that is what they are: pro-abortion arguments. You see, self-proclaimed feminists are actually pro-abortion and anti-choice. We’ve seen that time and time again and it was only further evidenced by the insanity displayed over the mere hint of an ad focusing on a woman who chose not to abort. If you were truly pro-choice, you’d embrace examples of women who chose to continue with high-risk pregnancies, creating — and saving — LIFE.
Your first concern is automatically Roe v. Wade. Why? Is motherhood that icky to you? You are more concerned with one Supreme Court case, that you constantly use as a wedge and a pawn, than you are with actual women. You should be happy when women, and motherhood, are honored. You should be thrilled when the love that comes with motherhood is held up as something wonderful. Instead, you worry only about your own political agendas.
While you claim that Focus on the Family isn’t trying to “empower women”, your political agenda does not empower women in any way. In fact, it does the opposite. You’ve turned women into helpless victims, who cannot do anything without Big Daddy Government protecting them, nor make any decisions on their own. It is insulting that you think that you know what is best for women. We can, and do, think for ourselves, you know. You’d rather we all were little Stepford Feminists, blindly following your destructive lead. Well, we don’t and we won’t. Your lead diminishes us.
Your comment about how one in three women will have an abortion does not make your argument for you either. To the contrary; it is a horrifying, heart breaking statistic for which humanity will one day harshly judge us.
As a woman who abhors the modern day Faux-Feminists, I thank you, Pam and Tim Tebow. For sharing your story, for being brave and for reminding people of what is really important.
Love. And Life.

Totally agree, a wonderful pro-motherhood ad.
Thank you from a father of two grown adopted children…There birth moms chose life and made the only right choice….
The ad is uplifting, positive and innocent. No wonder the left-wingers are so threatened by it.
Conservatives are finally learning that with the right bait, looney liberals will discredit themselves big time.
I missed the first ad but I saw the second. With utter astonishment I said to the people around me-"Was that the ad that was causing so much controversy?" Someone said that he thought it would be continued later. Later I asked if anyone had seen any more "Tim Tebow" ads that I might have missed and no one had-because there weren't any.
I did not see anything controversial about this ad at all-except maybe that Tim's mom still calls him Timmy. (Yes, the commercial was very sweet and the two (Tim and Mom) appear to be extremely likable people-I love those word, "I love you, mom.") For people who had no clue that the commercial was engrossed in controversay-there would be absolutely no connection between Roe v. Wade and Tim Tebow. In fact, if anything that commercial was forgotten 2 seconds after being watched because-and you have admit-we Americans love those bud light commercials. Those we remember will talk about for a few days. Anyway, just another non-issue that was made into something it wasn't.
It looks like NOW couldn't find much to complain about either. This morning's paper had their president, Terry O'Neill, bashing the ad for glorifying violence against women…you know…the tackle thing. Her words, "I am blown away at the celebration of the violence against women in it. That's what comes across to me even stronger than the anti-abortion message…" You look for it, you find it I guess…in whatever pathetic package you might imagine.
Funny…she finds no irony in NOW's advocating violence against pre-born babies.
About half of whom are female, after all.
It's pretty pathetic that the feminists, after seeing how innocent the ad was, couldn't let go and had to grasp for something else to complain about. Violence against women!? Give me a break.
The ad was just fine. No one should question the freedom of Tim Tebow and his mom to use their freedom of speech any time and way they choose. Every one does have a choice in whether to become pregnant….and incidentally we should take hormones out of the meat fed to children which turns on their hormones and desire for sex at a too early age…..now that might make a real difference. We are using taxpayer dollars on the one hand to abort unwanted babies and to sustain million dollar babies of the same gestational age that are wanted. Who do we think we are to say which babies get to live and which do not. I vote no on spending my tax dollars on what amounts to murder which we prosecute in every other instance except on the unborn…take a look at the ultrasound pictures of babies dying using any of the abortion techniques out there.
Health care workers who choose not to participate in abortion procedures may soon have people threaten to terminate their jobs. Is that freedom in the work place?
Two comments. First, the radical feminist’s hate feminity, motherhood, and children as they see them as slavery. Secondly, they led the battle to destroy the very definition and essence of humanity (the homosexuals followed them). Along with the pro-euthanist’s, pro-population controllers, and pro-killing human embryo’s for scientific and medical experimentation, these groups real goal is to redefine and thus control what it means to be human because they can’t stand the reality that human beings cannot be transformed and remade into their image.
