Pro-Abortion Group: Tebow Super Bowl Ad Promotes Domestic Violence
Washington, DC -- Unable to gain any tradition by calling the Focus on the Family Tim Tebow Super Bowl ad extremist or over the top, pro-abortion groups today are offering a new dig on the commercial. The president of NOW and other abortion advocates claim the ad promotes domestic violence.

At first I thought the pro-abortion response was amusing in the same way as turning on a light causes roaches to scuttle in every which direction.
Now it's just sad.
And really, abortion is domestic violence.

Monica Miller of the Center for a Pro-Life Society noted, "the very fact that pro-abortion people made a stink about it in the weeks leading up to the Super Bowl, was a plus for the pro-life movement."
"The threat that a pro-life commercial was to air during the Super Bowl caused millions of people to focus on the abortion issue--and the pro-abortionists looked foolish, narrow-minded, paranoid and ridiculous," Miller added.
"Now that the real ad has aired--and the abortion issue was never addressed--the pro-abortionists look even more ridiculous," she told LifeNews.com.

I wonder if Terry O'Neill complained about the Betty White ad?

From RightPundits.com
Americans are not as stupid as Terry O'Neill needs them to be. We all saw this ad. We all saw what it really said. For some reason, she just needs to feel as if she is having the last word. The commercial was light-hearted and cozy. Speaking for myself, I did not have this sudden urge to tackle my wife after viewing the ad, so the subliminal approach into making me some woman-hater failed, Focus on the Family. Better luck next year.
To O'Neill I would point out a flaw in her thinking, in asking her about the blatant violence towards elderly women in the infamous Snickers ad that also played. O'Neill, what say you? My point to O'Neill would be the inference that when a healthy male is run-down from hunger, he somehow becomes as weak as a geriatric woman. Wouldn't that sexist and misogynistic portrayal be offensive to NOW?
What about the Terry Tate video, as talked about by Tara Lynn Thompson, wherein he literally tackles Sarah Palin and then stands over her gloating and being verbally aggressive? Hmm. Well, it is Sarah Palin, after all, and I know there are a great many liberal men who would want to drill, baby, drill her, as she is a Conservative hottie. O'Neill, does that particular video bother your feminist sensitivities?
My last word, to you, Terry O'Neill: Hypocrite.

Yeah, we all know that tackling women is actually supposed to be funny (and republican).
Is it really possible that NONE of you see the huge irony in all this? Do you really NOT know the reasons why people dislike this ad?

Betty White was tackled in the Snickers commercial which aired right before the Tebow commercial.

I can see the irony of complaining about the Tebow ad and not the Snickers add, sure.

I'm aware. I didn't like that ad, either. In fact, I didn't like most of the ads. Except maybe for the Google one. That one was cute.

In other words, you have no idea what I'm talking about.

Rosalie, you, like many abortion advocates are overly sensitive and paranoid with no sense of humor.
It's people like you object to Bugs Bunny because it's violence twists the minds of young people.
I really do not find anything humorous about tackling women, that's absolutely true.
You, like many pro-forced-birth advocates, think that the jokes you find funny must seem funny to everyone else, otherwise they're 'overly sensitive' and 'paranoid with no sense of humor'.
Your attempts at insulting and demeaning women are weak and expected from a poor excuse for a human being incapable of having any sort of relationship like you.
Also, you are way off about Bugs Bunny but again, it doesn't surprise me that you would lie about something YOU want to assume I think just so you could diss me for it, even though it's completely untrue. That's another thing typical for pro-lforced-birthers.

Let me guess. Secular feminazis don't like the ad because Pam Tebow chose life for her unborn son Tim even if it might have meant her own death.
Feminazis with a "spiritual" bent don't like the ad because Pam Tebow's God is pro-life, whereas their God has sacramentalized abortion and practically demands that "problem" pregnancies be aborted as the "responsible" thing to do.
There are surely more reasons...
I was kind of hoping that Pam Tebow would have tackled Tim in the ad.

I doubt good ole Rosa would have a problem with a man being tackled and actually would LOVE having a woman doing the tackling. She seems to be the kind of woman who can't take a joke about females but is more than happy to dish out jokes and insults about males and finds that ok and not the same discrimination. See, Rosa is for "women's abortion rights" but no one elses rights. Must be very limiting to be so narrow minded.

I don't think you know what you're talking about, you just bristle at anything that doesn't hold abortion up as the best option.

Using the word "feminazi" as a slur towards women who dare have opinions different form yours makes you argument invalid. Thanks for playing, though.

Not a single word you have just said here is true. That may just be your personal record. I only have pity for bitter, pathetic liars like you.

Are you even interested in knowing what I think or is trying to pass off assumptions as facts all you want to do? So far it seems like the latter is more probable.

According to the Merriam-Webster Online Dictionary
Feminazi
Function: noun
Etymology: blend of feminist and Nazi
Date: 1989
usually disparaging : an extreme or militant feminist
Use of the "feminazi" descriptive does not make my argument invalid. Your belief that it does rather demonstrates your inability to think logically. Why don't you try addressing the points that I make about secular vs "spiritual" types of feminazi, who may be male or female, or hadn't you considered that possibility?
For instance, President Barack Obama is an abortion rights absolutist who has done everything in his power to advance Planned Parenthood's secular agenda, while also appealing to liberal "spiritual" sorts whose God "understands" elective abortion and even blesses it. That makes Obama a complete feminazi, imho.

You, like many pro-forced-birth advocates, think that the jokes you find funny must seem funny to everyone else, otherwise they're 'overly sensitive' and 'paranoid with no sense of humor'.
How can you force a completely natural event/process? Is someone who doesn't believe in amputating the limbs of someone with apotemnophilia a forced-limber?
Also, you are way off about Bugs Bunny but again, it doesn't surprise me that you would lie about something YOU want to assume I think just so you could diss me for it, even though it's completely untrue. That's another thing typical for pro-lforced-birthers.
How is he way off? If an ad showing someone tackling a woman in a non-aggressive way promotes violence, then surely Bugs Bunny must be as well.

I watched the ad. I actually wondered if I was watching the wrong ad, as it doesn't say anything about abortion and unless you knew that what's the mum was referring to when she said "we almost lost him" a few times, well, I'd just have thought it was like an illness or car accident or thing.
As for the tackling, seriously? Sure, it might not be to some people's tastes, but hey, the remote isn't that hard to function, right? I don't support domestic violence. I'm a feminists, a pro-life one at that. And I didn't find the tackle offensive to women.
And yeah, if it was a woman tackling a man, I'm sure it'd be a different story.
People need to get over themselves. The woman made a choice regarding her pregnancy, that's what the pro-aborts like, right, choices? . I'm sure the mum would have said no to the idea of being tackled in the ad if she didn't like it.

Didn't see the commercial but I agree with Shenanigans on this one. It's television, for crying out loud. If you're offended, change the channel.
