Let me start by saying I’m a pro-choice Conservative. Not rabidly pro-choice, but I generally think it should be up to the woman. I do support a ban on late-term abortions and the like.
Having said that, I also have a tremendous respect for pro-life advocates. I completely understand where they’re coming. Even though I’m “pro-choice” I’m not “pro-abortion”. Unlike radical leftist groups I don’t think it’s something to be praised or encouraged. The fewer abortions we have in this country the better.
Which is why I don’t get why Tim Tebow and his family are coming under attack for the ad they plan to run during the Super Bowl. I haven’t seen the ad, but from what I understand it’s not some rabid anti-abortion ad. Tebow’s mom simply explains that doctors encouraged her to abort Tim, because they feared he would have birth defects due to the medication she was forced to take to treat a life threatening illness.
She refused and instead chose to leave it in God’s hands and hope for the best. One only needs to watch Tim Tebow play football to see how that decision turned out.
It seems like a pretty inspirational and hopeful message to me. I don’t see what the problem is. Is the left afraid it will discourage women from having abortions?
Why would you want women to have abortions?
If the ad makes women think a little bit harder about having an abortion, why is that a bad thing? It would not prevent the abortion, just maybe encourage a few extra minutes of thought.
The radical left and phony women’s groups like NOW have a sick fascination with abortions. They treat it like some kind of sick right of passage to womanhood.
This reminds me of the pro-life ad that ran during the presidential campaign about President Obama. It was one of the most powerful and inspiration ads I’ve ever seen, but radical leftist groups hated it.
I’m all about “choice” but I just don’t get why leftists are so opposed to any message that merely celebrates life.
Why is that such a threat? What are they afraid of?
Here’s Tim Tebow himself responding in a very classy way to the attacks:
