OK.
Thursday, February 4, 2010 at 2:57PM So you have probably heard about this Focus on the Family/Tim Tebow ad that will run during the Superbowl that is "likely" to carry an anti-abortion message.
How controversial! My! How startling! An anti-abortion ad running during the Superbowl! Surely the celebrity standing behind it has strong and passionate views on the subject, non? Tim, what say you?
"Well, um, I think, you know, either, whatev--you know, what people think about it, I think, um, that I know a lot of people, I mean, some people won't agree with it, y'know, but, I think they can at least, um, y'know respect that, that I stand up for what I believe, and, um, and I'm never, y'know, shy about that, I don't feel like I'm very pr--preachy about it but I do stand up for what I believe, and at least you can respect that, because I do stand up, and um."
Hark! May I address you as "Tim," Professor Tebow?
Now, I don't know Tim at all but since he a. has won a Heisman Trophy and b. was never aborted, I definitely give weight to his opinion on whether or not women everywhere should get to choose when and with whom they start a family and give life to another, like, y'know...person. Especially since he probably deals with this question personally ALL THE TIME. As a virgin and all.
Meanwhile, Planned Parenthood released their response:
Deftly and kindly handled--not a surprise. It's good of them to remind us that being "pro-choice" means respecting every woman's right and ability to make her own decision.

hahaha "professor tebow"
What I find even more disgusting is that while CBS is running this commercial, it's refused to air a commercial for a gay dating website. Hmm, not trying to push an agenda, CBS?
i wish i could say otherwise but i am not surprised at all by cbs's role/actions in any of this!
and for the record i have no problem with the thought of a pro-life commercial airing during the superbowl, any more than i'd have a problem with a pro-choice one. i'm mostly offended by the thought that apparently tim tebow had no idea that anyone would ask him for his stance on the commercial? and when someone did he had ZERO actual opinion or facts or passion and 100% "it's just what i believe!!!" 'religious' superficiality.

Ugh yeah, I didn't word my comment correctly -- I don't have any issue with a pro-life commercial being aired, but I don't like the way in which the commercial is going to be presented. Tim Tebow...wow. Just wow, what a doofus.
do NOT -- i repeat, DO NOT -- even get me STARTED on tebow. i don't even have words for how much i dislike him/his fans/his school/THIS ENTIRE COUNTRY.
