Allred’s take was buttressed by Joy Behar on the ABC TV show, The View. Behar belittled Tebow’s pitch for life, characterizing his story as “improbable.” “Any woman who foregoes an abortion on the chance that her child would live a worthwhile life is bucking the odds,” Behar contended. “It’s more likely the child would grow up a racist or pedophile. We shouldn’t be promoting advertisements that distort this reality.” Jehmu Greene, President of Women’s Media Center, called the proposed ad “a thinly veiled attempt to subjugate women to a patriarchal agenda. They’re saying that being a mother is a better choice than having an abortion. Well, being a mother exposes a woman to a lifetime of obligations that an abortion would avert. Pressuring women to accept these obligations with a high-profile ad is a manifestation of the kind of male-dominated culture our organization has been fighting. The fact that the ad is slated for a football game—a male-centered form of entertainment—reveals, I think, their true objective.”

Wow...again. These people are insane.

Oh, it’s satire...not much different from real quotes I’ve seen from this crowd in response to the ad, though.

Satire ain’t always funny! A line from the movie “Juno”, “all babies deserve to be borned.”

Thanks John. You caught a bunch of people again - but this is so close to the truth about the left.

Where’s the satire part, John?

There is not much satire in that article. The left is just insane and if they read this, maybe they will realize that fact.

Well, they are insane. During the campaign last year, a spokesman for the Canadian medical establishment (iirc) said that it was dangerous for Sarah Palin to be appearing in public with her son, because it might lead other women to decide against aborting children with Down’s Syndrome. How can you satirize people who are that creepy?

You keep catching people hook, line and sinker John.

Maybe you should put a disclaimer at the beginning of the article in red before clicking “post” stating that it’s satire. Too many people fall for it.

It is hard to satirize these people. Years ago, my wife worked with a female men called MS porcupine, because if she has as many sticking out as had been stuck into her, that is what she would look like.

She had multiple abortions - two for sure and then tried to commit suicide when she found out she was pregnant again. That was on the note she left in her apartment. “I’ll get rid of all my problems by ending the main cause - ME”.

She also wrote that she had seen her friend with her newborn and tried to think what her kids may have been like by then.

I often wonder how many young women commit suicide by crashing into other people or fixed objects.

I love seeing all these leftist loonies get bent out of shape.

“Joy’s” message is so twisted that it is entirely believable...

While drunk, trying to kill the pain. It's not just abortion: the whole lifestyle that produces most unwanted pregnancies is psychologically deadening for women. Men, too, but it seems like they don't notice it as much.

Well, this gal happened to fail at her attempt and ended up marrying the guy who knocked her up the third time. The moved to another state and last I heard, they are still together with two kids and a couple of grandkids. Both joined the church and their kids are now self employed in very profitable businesses.

That’s a great outcome! Conversions can happen when least expected.

Well, she used to be a druggie. Drug to church, drug to Sunday school, drug to other church events and then rebelled, but got her life together eventually.

Thanks for the ping John. A good one exposing once again the Leftist mindset.

Your talent is appreciated.

You do realize how many people read your article, click ‘file’, ‘send link’, load up their whole address book, and then type “You gotta read what the left is up to now!”

Then about 3 minutes later they go back and send a follow up stating that it was satire.

I speak from experience John. Many moons ago, but yet from experience.

the challenge is that it becomes so tough to distinguish satire from reality......

John’s pieces capture the left so perfectly that it’s only a few details such as a quote and there which need to be “made up” -— the core is what the left already exhibits every day

“The Tebow backers of this commercial are “very strange”. Pat Tebow should conront big mouthed Ed Schultz about his comments about his family being “very strange” and ask him what he means and respond with vigor and capture it on YouTube. I’ve had it with these types of commentary by these creeps. It would be “nifty” if Pat responded rather vigorously. It might slow this kind of krap down.
