What is the National Organization for Women afraid of? Apparently a touching story about a courageous woman who chooses life in the face of adversity is just too much to take. And when her football star son decides to share that story on Super Bowl Sunday, well, that goes too far. It’s “divisive.”
NOW and its affiliate organizations the Feminist Majority and Women’s Media Center are condemning the Super Bowl advertisement featuring Tim Tebow and his mother Pam, calling it an offensive “anti-choice” ad.
Could you imagine anything more ironic? The organization that purports to embrace women and “choice” is desperately clamoring to shut down the most loving choice of all: the choice for life. Yet the women of NOW can’t abide 30 seconds of a heart-warming story. What would producers at Lifetime Television say?
Let’s be real. What’s the worst case scenario here? That if Americans hear this message they will choose to make sacrifices in order to have a child and bring a wonderful life in to the world? That’s hardly an abhorrent message.
These groups are not “for” women and they don’t want them to have a “choice.” They only want women to “choose” the path of abortion. Never mind that abortion has been shown over and over to be destructive in numerous ways, both physically and psychologically. But, *please* don’t tell people that there are alternatives.
In their efforts to cling to the old feminist mantra that we somehow “need” abortion, NOW sells American women short. They assume that women are so weak-brained and easily manipulated that they must be protected from a life-affirming message.
This fracas over the Super Bowl illustrates perfectly how NOW & Co. are losing their grip as their pro-abortion position sinks in public opinion. For the first time in decades,

Of course NOW has NEVER been “divisive”
Neither has Roe v. Wade
These people are outrageously dangerous
Earlier this year, NOW President Terry O'Neill, confessed to the National Journal that the organization is struggling. "It seems to me we are stalled out..."
Choice, my ass.
Why is NOW so afraid of this ad? Because it reminds these angry, embittered ,dried out, post-menopausal , childless harridans that they are just that: angry, embittered, dried-out, post-menopausal, childless harridans and they can’t stand to see a woman choose to bring life into the world and be happy for it. . In the nags world, misery loves company. (and abortion).
When it comes to trading in death and coldblooded genocide, the abortion peddlers don’t take a backseat to any of the butchers in mankind’s history. They are pros.
Look at Tim Tebow.
This ad might make women who have had abortions question whether it was the right 'choice'.
And it might give pause to women who are tempted to make the 'choice' in the future.
Tim Tebow puts a face to abortion.
He is no arbitrary 'product of conception'...
He is a living, breathing, good looking athlete...
..and every woman has to ask....'what if'
That's what NOW is afraid of.
It never was about “choice.” Like so many examples, the left perverts the meaning of words for its own advancement. They say “choice,” which, to most people, means an alternative, that one could opt for one way or another way, for one act or another act, etc. However, to the banshees at NOW and their leftist enablers, “choice” means nothing of the kind. No, to them, choice means only one option, one alternative, one act: abortion. To “choose” anything other than abortion is no choice at all, but some sort of fascism.
Why? -”Believe like WE believe, or be silenced!”
-courtesy of the party of peace, love and tolerance...
Love it! And Gloria Allred (sp?) on Kelly’s show today opined that because abortion was illegal at the time of Tim’s birth a CBS disclaimer to that effect should be part of the ad! Never mind that health of the mother would have been a mitigating factor. Talk about a derangement syndrome.
***trading in death and coldblooded genocide***
Absolutely!
Keep repeating: They are not pro-choice - they are ONLY PRO-ABORTION.
Since 1973 FIFTY MILLION AMERICANS HAVE BEEN KILLED in this genocide.
Murdered by a scalpel or killed by a coat-hanger - abortion is still murder.
“Pro Choice” is really just a euphemism for pro death.
I will not say that every member of NOW is a Marxist lesbian.
I will say that every member of NOW I have ever known was a Marxist lesbian.
But that is not conjecture, it is a statement of fact.
What? Roe v. Wade was 1973
“The law of the land” since then. Tebow is what, 23 at most?
Math major, Gloria?
Sorry—I should have added “in the Philippines.” She’d checked on Philippine abortion law to come up with her argument against CBS’s decision to air. She either hadn’t discovered or refused to recognize that even Philippino law excepted health of the mother which, of course, was a factor in the ad. What didn’t come up at all was whether or not Tebows were assigned to Clark or other military base where, after 1973, abortion would have been legal (if not U. S. subsidized).

Can you imagining travelling to a foreign planet, observing its society, and upon asking how many people lived there, you were told “250 million; it would have been 300 million except we killed 50 million while in their mother’s womb. Convenience, you know?”
Nevertheless, your point is correct. In the first place, if Pam Tebow had wanted to abort her baby boy, she could have come back to the USA to do it: the Philippines was just a temporary assignment for her.
In the second place, the Philippines has a "necessity defense" written explicitly into statute law: if her survival were truly at risk -- a genuine toss-up between her life and the baby's life ---this law could be invoked to legally justify a life-saving procedure. (This law was quoted by another FReeper in a previous thread.)
So NOW and Gloria Allred are simply retailing falsehoods once again. Which doesn't surprise anybody. I think even their followers have come to expect it.
