Open Mouth, Insert (Left) Foot

I’m sure that everyone—sports fan or no—has heard by now of the big brouhaha over Focus on the Family’s commercial during the Super Bowl on Sunday. Leftist women’s choice activists were up in arms ever since the commercial plans were announced—they’ve called Focus on the Family more names than are fit to print, most of them angry and venomous. They’re an organization of hate, I heard one woman spit; nothing good comes out of them.

Funny thing was, no one had seen the commercial. No one had even seen the script. Everyone knew that it would feature Tim Tebow and his mother, who had refused an abortion when pregnant with Tim, though the doctors suggested that the birth could be difficult and possibly harmful to her. The theme of the commercial was simply “A Celebration of Life”—oh, but were those pro-choicers hot or what?

Bet they’re a bit embarrassed now.

The commercial, so debated and speculated on and drug-through-the-mud over the last few weeks, was a simple bit with Mrs. Tebow, talking about how she’s worried about Tim over the years; worried about losing him. Then he comes in at the end, tackles Mom, and helps her up, asking if she’s still worried about him. Cutesy, sweet, and relatively benign.

Oh yeah—and there’s a shot at the end, a note that you can learn more at such-and-such a link. Read the whole story is how they put it, I think.

I liked it. I, personally, wanted a bit more of an “in your face” thing, but (LOL) that’s just how I am. And, honestly? I think that this was far more effective, plus it had the poetic justice of being so much not what the freak-out-lefties were wigging out about…lol. A victory, imho.

So, I just have a word of advice for all you far-left feminists out there. First, open mouth and insert a foot or two. You made beautiful fools of yourselves. Enjoy!

Second—why is it that you claim to support “choice”, but you are so adamantly opposed to Mrs. Tebow’s choice to save her baby? Or Focus on the Family’s choice to make the commercial? Or CBS’s choice to air the thing? Why is abortion the only “choice” you like?

Call it what it is—it’s pro-abortion. Pro-death. Not pro-choice.

Bleh—and there I go with the gloom and doom again. All I really wanted to say was thanks Focus, thanks Tebows, thanks CBS, and LOL lefties. :D

See ya’ll!
