SarahPalinUSA: What's N.O.W. thinking? Censoring a pro-women/pro-child Super Bowl ad? Unbelievable. Pls see my FB post on this: http://tinyurl.com/y9oho5h
Oh, you bet I will.
"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...
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)...." [emphasis mine]
Does anything more need to be said?
I know, it's giving her too much credit to call this cognitive dissonance. It's just a really tortured attempt to hijack feminism for her own self-promotion. I get it.
At the same time, I have to admit... seeing how the pro-choice movement has successfully established the terms of this debate in their own favor gives me warm fuzzies inside. Once you start using your opponents' vocabulary, you basically concede defeat.
Congratulations on your choice, Mrs. Tebow. Because that is, indeed what it's all about: choice.
