Don't plan to watch the super bowl....might run into Timmy Tebow...


After the debacle at the BCS Championship Game last year, I suspect there were some pro-life Oklahomans who wished that one guy in a blue jersey had been aborted.

Morals tend to waver a bit when it comes to football in the Sooner State.

FOTD, Planned Parenthood is just as capable of buying air time for the Super Bowl if they like.  It's called capitalism.

You dolt. They aren't in the financial shape to compete against tax cheaters and fanatics who get their funds strictly for the purpose of destroying a woman's freedom. Unlike the haters, PPH needs their funds to educate and  save women.

BS, it only takes a few of their liberal donors and celebs to buy a spot if it's that important.  Someone else found it worth the investment to send an anti-abortion message out instead of spending it on ammuntion and bomb-making equipment.

CBS is a second rate broadcaster for allowing this crap into everyone's home. It would be different if we knew when it was to broadcast to protect children from this false indoctrination. Next up? Iranian backed ads against Israel?

Would you say CBS was a second-rate broadcaster if the message were pro-choice?  What's the difference?  Doesn't fit your paradigm?

Have you seen the ad? If so, get me a link because I can't find it.

You can see this one coming from a mile away.  FOF or CBS leaked the info on the ad to develop this hype.  I'm willing to bet it's completely innocuous.  Get the liberals in a frothing frenzy.  It's a good PR tactic. 

Everything I've heard, including comments from Tebow is that everyone is going to be very surprised that people made a big deal of this.  CBS and FOF win from the publicity and the "protesters" look foolish. . . or at least more foolish.

Why do you fundies keep missing the point. It's not the script that's the issue.

I do think it is an abominable method of birth control when two people are too lazy to use any other method of contraception available but I also see where there's room to argue that it needs to be kept legal to keep it as a safe alternative. 
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.

Either way, I think the result of Roe is good (I want women to have the choice, and I like privacy), but the legal reasoning is utter trash.

And CBS? Those bastards can suck it. The ad itself isn't bad, although the message is stupid: "Don't listen to your doctors."  ::)

The reason why I won't be enjoying their fine program this evening is that while they're happy to run this ad, they not only previously refused to run the United Church of Christ ad (I get it, policies change), but won't run the ManCrunch ad this year, either. None of these are any better than the other, yet Teary Tebow gets his run? Idiots.

NFL football sucks anyway. College football is much more entertaining.

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.
