Roe v. Wade May Be in Danger

It seems not worth the controversy...

I do question the story the mom is telling, though.

She says her doctors were telling her to get an abortion. Abortions were illegal in the Philippines then. I doubt that her doctors were telling her to break the law.

But, who am I to get in the way of a good story.

It's my understanding there was an exception to that law in cases where the mother's life was in danger.

What was weird was that I was watching that wonderful game tonight and watched the ads if they started well and interested me.

I don't know what Tim Tebow's mom looked like, so I zoned out on that ad until about 85% through, when all of a sudden I noticed: "Hey, that's Tim Tebow." Of course, because the ad wasn't good to start with, the message that it was trying to convey was lost on me because it didn't grab me at the beginning, and lost the narrative.

So, based on my experience, I'd say it wasn't a very effective ad. YMMV.

You do realize that sometimes contraception fails, right? It's not nearly the problem it was now that Plan B is far more accessible than it used to be, but it still happens that condoms break, pills get missed, or whatever.

No Nathan, I had no idea that happens.  Really?
