Anti abortion ad to air during Super Bowl

SuperFemme · 01-26-2010, 09:10 PM

I wonder if the Courage Campaign will sponsor a similar ad.

After all, I'm adopted and the Christ Camp thinks that is an easy answer.

My bio mom (whoever she is) can tell the world that this blonde in a pony outfit could have been murdered. Behold. I've gone on to the the best damn Queer that I can be.

Wipes a tear.

I feel so inspirational. I mean, I made it all the way through Catholic High School and abstained from being a heterosexual.

sniffle.

Just a few quick thoughts here, as someone who is intimately connected to the sports world.

First off, I think it's asinine that people put athletes on a pedestal and demand they be role models. BUT, since they do, I have to say that Tim Tebow is certainly a good one for that. Believe me, sports journalists have long wanted to debunk the TT mystique as he seems to be too good to be true.

As for this ad, it just made me cringe when I saw it come across the wires --- for all the reasons everyone has already stated. I was looking for the CBS story on how it has relaxed its standards (conveniently now, not a few years ago), but Ezee had already posted it.

The biggest thing I see is is this: the only way to fight it, it seems, is fire with fire. Some pro-choice group should pony up and go with a counter ad. CBS would be hypocritcal to not air it, as well. Unfortunately, I doubt this will happen and all the rhetoric in the world from those groups won't erase the lasting images of this ad.
