ALLRED SEEKS TO KILL SUPER BOWL AD
Catholic League ^ | 01-29-10 | Staff

Posted on 01/29/2010 11:50:01 AM PST by mlizzy

Catholic League president Bill Donohue comments on an attempt by feminist lawyer Gloria Allred to get CBS to drop the pro-life Super Bowl ad featuring Tim Tebow and his mother:

Gloria Allred is no stranger to the subject of abortion, so it is not surprising that she wants to kill this pro-life ad. Her letter to Les Moonves of CBS, available at RadarOnline.com, wants the ad pulled because it is allegedly guilty of “misleading advertising.”

Allred, who has not seen the ad, charges that when Tebow’s mother was being advised by doctors in the Philippines to consider an abortion (she was on antibiotics for a pregnancy illness), it was illegal there to have one. In a monumental stretch, Allred reasons that the ad should disclose this information, otherwise it is “misleading.”

What is really misleading is Allred’s duplicity. Several years ago, she represented Amber Frey in a case related to the death of Laci Peterson; Peterson’s husband, Scott, was convicted of murdering both her and the baby she was carrying, a boy they named Connor. In an interview she gave to Hannity and Colmes on the Fox News Channel on June 5, 2003, Allred found it useful to her case to emphasize the humanness of Peterson’s baby: “And the fact that there are two individuals who are dead there, Laci and Connor, that has to be the most important consideration of everything.” For once, she was right.

Allred’s confession in 2003 undercuts her credibility—to say nothing of her ethical standing—to make the case against this Super Bowl ad. She knows that Tim Tebow is alive today because his mother did not abort him. To top it off, she can’t even deal respectfully with this issue. Her snide remark, which is in the letter to Moonves, is classic. “As the story is reported,” she says, “Tim’s mother decides to take her pregnancy to term anyway and give birth to Tim. Apparently they have lived happily ever after since that time.” And apparently, this woman has no shame.

Let CBS know of your support for this ad. Contact Leslie Moonves: lmoonves@cbs.com

But I guess she has no problem with the other rauncy, miosynistic ads they’re planning on running. Hypocisy is spelled A-L-L-R-E-D.

It’s also spelled hypocrisy, but you get the point.

Hokay! “When this happened, the Philippines banned abortion — as we shall see, for a very good reason.”

Gloria, what are you scared of anyway?

If you really think your "cause" is the better one you should want to have the public debate. (or are you really really scared by the truth?)

I don’t think that the Lord cares for her stance. Maybe He will do something to change her mind.

Obviously, G Allred killed her own child at some point in her life,

and now wants no reminders of her guilt. Yes, GUILT.

This is THE PRIME MOTIVATING FACTOR for pro-aborts. Justifying what they did.

The “pro-choice” people are stupidly exposing themselves as pro-baby killing. If they really favored “choice”, they would be cheering this commercial.

Personally, I think aboution is a medical matter between a woman and her doctor, but the “pro-choice” people really need to admit they are in favor of killing unborn children.

Please pray the Super Bowl ad goes through with Tim Tebow (depicted) and his mother regarding her "choice" to not abort her son. Gloria Allred's soul is both as red as the devil's and blacker than an ace of spades, but even she can be saved.

Please, please, pray to end abortion, and bring home to Jesus, the souls of pro-aborts everywhere.

Indeed, she is truly terrified, because God writes the Truth on our hearts.

She knows she’s headed for damnation for the unrepented sin of MURDER, and doesn’t want ANY reminders of that FACT.

She’ll go into the pits of hell screaming “IT WAS MY RIGHT TO ABORT THAT BABY!”

I wish, just for once, that these abortionists and their enablers would just admit that the pro-life message is a positive one instead of viewing every live birth as a missed opportunity to further their abortion agenda.

FOF has already accomplished more than they could have hoped with this ad. Exposing the harpies currently freaking out for what they are, in a very public forum, has been quite valuable.

Everyone who CHOOSES not to abort pokes their consciences.

Fr. Frank Pavone, of Priests for Life, is one of the heroes of the pro-life movement. I recently heard that he once said that the exact same words of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ at the Last Supper, "This is my Body", is what has been cruelly twisted by Satan to be the rallying cry of the abortion at any cost crowd "This is MY body".

Just think of the completely diametrically opposed perspectives of these very same words. One is total self-giving love; the other total selfishness, pride and anger. The side of Truth is abundantly clear.

Yes, good point. Choice means “choosing abortion”. It does not mean promoting the availability and positivity of other choices.
