I’m firmly pro-choice, and I think this pitting is ridiculous. The pro-life viewpoint is a quite reasonable one, albeit one I disagree with. And there’s absolutely no reason that someone who sincerely holds a viewpoint and has access to a public forum in which to promote it should not do so. And **Condescending robot** , you’re being unproductively hyperbolic. ---

If you’re one of those fashionable nihilists who is pro-choice because you want to drop trendy phrases about “crotchspawn” and population control, or if you think that moral values just flit in on the wind and must be claimed by whoever they land on and don’t carry any truth values, then you’re not doing any cause you ally with any good. ---

Or you could be one of those pro-choice people who understands that other people might not agree with your idea of where life begins. ---

Funny: Eye black is supposed to reduce glare (and for those of you who didn’t know what it was, Wiki says it’s been used for centuries! Where’ve you been? :)), and Tim Tebow writes his Bible verses in SILVER pen! Yay for the American education system! Funnier: \*\*dalej42 \*\*was called out in post 12, and here we are with over 60 replies and he has yet to explain why he wouldn’t want Tim Tebow on his team when he’s apparently OK with Kurt Warner turning his franchise around. If he hasn’t closeted his Cards gear and refused to watch the Cards until Warner retires, he’s a hypocrite. Funniest: People are ascribing beliefs to Tim Tebow that don’t have anything to do with anything Tebow has actually said, as far as I can tell. All the story says is that he’ll do an ad with a Christian group, and they \*speculate \*that it’ll be an anti-abortion message. I think he has the right, and maybe a good reason, to hold an anti-abortion stance, but that doesn’t necessarily mean that he’s anti-gay or anything else. ---

Your post would be much more damning against the American education system if: a) he hadn’t been home schooled; and b) he hadn’t won the Heisman and all. ---

Looks like this may be [much ado about nothing](http://www.mediapost.com/publications/?fa=Articles.showArticle&art_aid=120899): > [@](#): > > CBS executives approved a script for a Super Bowl spot from evangelical group Focus on the Family, which suggests the ad will not carry a pro-life message – at least an overt one. > > The network has a policy of prohibiting advocacy ads, even ones that carry an “implicit” endorsement for a side in a public debate. A CBS spokesman did say the network will review the video version of the spot before giving it the final green light, but does not anticipate any hurdles. ---

All I can say to that is… WOW. now I’m kind of curious what level of vitriol and condescension would be directed my way if I did NOT agree with you. I’m pro-choice because (a) I don’t believe an embryo is a person (although I admit that that’s not a slam dunk) and (b) I think that a society in which abortion is legal is going to be better off and happier and more productive than a society in which abortion is illegal. ---

> [@ShibbOleth](#): > > Someone asked him to do a spot about this. He’s still basically a kid, so may not be aware of other Focus on the Family memes, such as the whole anti-gay thing. At least I hope so. And this would excuse him for aligning with them? If anything, that damns him all the further. He’s a college graduate, or near enough to. He’s old enough to know that you don’t publicly, visibly affiliate yourself with someone (especially not to the extent of an ad shown during the Super Bowl) without knowing exactly who they are. ---

That’s one of Maxim’s 2008 Hometown Hotties entrants and she figured a picture with Tebow would be good for recognizability or something. ---

Does that change the fact that he is, apparently, an advocate for abridging my civil rights based upon my ownership of a uterus? (And almost certainly based upon my sexuality as well?) And make him less of an ass for doing so? Nope, not one single little bit. ---

I will say that it’s kinda belittling to Tim Tebow to suggest that he’s not fully aware of the positions of FOTF. FOTF is a major organization in the U.S. Evangelical world & James Dobson is considered a good, if not great, man. To shock the Doper community, a wavering half of the U.S. isn’t really down with pre-born baby-killing and more than half isn’t down with changing marriage definitions in ways the ancient Greeks didn’t even buy into. Tebow’s & FOTF’s stances will bother most Americans not a bit. ---
