A small number of groups purporting to speak for women are getting their panties in a knot because someone doesn’t agree with them.Â
Being outspokenly Christian or anti-abortion really seems to drive the left insane. Sarah Palin was treated brutally. So has been the Christian organization, Focus on the Family. Now it’s the Tebow’s turn.
The National Organization of Women and Women’s Media Center, along with a few others, are trying to make CBS drop an anti-abortion ad featuring 2007 Heisman Trophy winner Tim Tebow and his family. Understand now; these groups have never seen the ad. They have no real idea what it says. They just don’t want the Tebow’s to be allowed to say it in a fully paid Super Bowl ad on the subject of abortion.Â
Let me make something perfectly clear to the National Organization of Women, Women’s Media Center, and the other anti-baby, anti-woman organizations currently attacking the Tebows:  You do not represent me, a low income widow with a racially diverse family. You do not represent my daughters, two of whom have had children out of wedlock while still in their teens. We love our babies and would never hurt them. Please don’t pretend to speak for all women. I look forward to seeing the Tebow ad during the Super Bowl, and fully support freedom of Speech for all individuals and organizations.Â
“Freedom of speech” is protected by the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution and by many state constitutions and state and federal laws.  It is not implied, assumed, or conveniently read into the wording. It’s really there.Â
Oh – and off the subject, about thirty years ago, while I was still a teen, I used NOW services for some type of occupational testing.  The service was totally unsatisfactory – a waste of time. Even as a teen, I recognized that. It was simple fluff, professing to be of community usefulness. Mere vehicle for a leftist agenda, they use women as props. I’ve never had any respect for the NOW organization since. Â
I oppose any use of public funds for these alleged women’s organizations, especially in light of their efforts to deny other individuals and organizations the right to use private funds in communicating their message.

AMEN Sister! Hey, I don’t particularly like sitting with my 14 year old son and seeing adds about Viagra, Condoms, Personal Lubricants, etc., but they are free to advertise their products whether we like it or not. To me, THAT is more offensive then someone telling their story about not having an abortion and the outcome. COMPLETELY protected under the Constitution and these women’s rights groups need to get in touch with REAL women and quit saying they speak for all of us because they DON’T! Like it or not, everyone has a right to speak their mind and tell their story and if they can afford the ad that is their business. Whether you believe in abortion or not, you have to support the constitution!
An anti-abortion ad during the Super Bowl?
I have not seen the ad either but if it mentions or references abortion what a DOWNER!
I know the Super Bowl has millions of viewers but they’re supposed to enjoying a game!
And a lot of the viewers aren’t even going to be sober!
So I don’t question the right to air such a message but the placement? During the Super Bowl? Thanks so much for spoiling everyone’s fun.
I’d fire the ad agency just for that. JMO.
Wow. How is a family’s story of blessing, love, and triumph supposed to be a “downer?”
I’m thrilled they are telling this story; it certainly will not spoil my fun, and from what I hear from many others, it won’t be spoiling their fun either.
Even if abortion itself is discussed, it wouldn’t spoil anything. Reality doesn’t disappear just because it’s ignored. To brush away the reality of millions of murdered children just to “have fun” is like -”fiddling” while Rome burns, or Germans, compassionlessly partying while Jews were slaughtered.
I’d rather face reality and try to help, no matter what else is going on. Set the beer down and think!
