Feminists can’t handle pro-life Super Bowl ad

Dan Sherrier

According to the feminists, playing an ad about a woman’s decision to defy doctors’ recommendations and not have an abortion is “extraordinarily offensive and demeaning.”

Let’s replay that in slow-motion:

Pregnant woman. Doctors say have an abortion. Woman thinks for herself and decides to have her baby. Tell this story in a commercial, and it’s “extraordinarily offensive and demeaning.”

Demeaning? Offensive? Huh?

Demeaning? Offensive? Huh?

Doesn’t make sense to me either.

Yet this is what has incited feminists’ self-righteous fury–a potential Super Bowl commercial that CBS is allowing to air.

The ad features college football player Tim Tebow and his mother Pam, and it’s about Pam Tebow’s decision to have her baby (specifically, Tim).

Her decision.

Yet Women’s Media Center urges CBS to “Stop Anti-Choice Super Bowl Ad.”

(Side note: Is “anti” the favorite prefix of the left? Anti-choice. Anti-equality. Anti-science. Anti-American. Has this tactic ever actually resulted in anyone changing his or her political opinion? Show of hands, please?)

Anyway…

The ad clearly aims to encourage expectant mothers to choose life, yes. As it’s been reported so far, the commercial does not feature any fire-and-brimstone speeches about going to hell if you dare to have an abortion, or anything of that nature. The ad seems to recognize the unfortunate reality that abortion is legal at the moment, and it approaches the topic with that understanding.

So it tells about a woman choosing to give birth to a son who then goes on to become a successful college football player. That basically translates to: Before you go ahead and have that abortion, please consider what the cost might be.

Not: Don’t you dare have that abortion! Shame on you! Rather: Please, please, please think about what and who might be lost.

Sounds like a fair and respectable approach to me.

Nevertheless…

“An ad that uses sports to divide rather than to unite has no place in the biggest national sports event of the year – an event designed to bring Americans together,” Women’s Media Center President Jehmu Greene said, as quoted by the AP.

Another common leftist tactic. Our opinions unite the country. Your opinions divide. Therefore, you should really stop presenting opinions different from ours. Would these organizations be outraged over an ad that encouraged women to have abortions? Perhaps some individuals within might be, but I doubt there’d be this level of organized outrage.

As for the question of whether or not this is appropriate as a Super Bowl commercial…Why not? If people buy the ad space, they can say what they want, and the network can choose to air it or refund the ad dollars. Advertisers should be respectful and appropriate for family viewing, sure, but this specific ad appears to meet both criteria. And if any ad bothers you for any reason, then you’re free to ignore it. Go grab a snack or drink from the kitchen while it plays. What’s the harm in people being exposed to another point of view?

When feminists and the abortion issue enter a room, rationality tends to have a difficult time squeezing in, as evidenced by this whole debacle. Please understand: I am not saying that women are unreasonable. After all, I believe the average woman is smarter than the average man.

I am saying that many modern feminists are being unreasonable with regard to this specific issue and their, dare I say, divisive language such as “anti-choice.” (Oh, look! I stole your tactic! Be outraged! Call me names!)

They also tend to become unreasonable when you say the words “Sarah Palin.”

So let’s quote Sarah Palin. That’ll be fun.

On her Facebook page, Palin writes, “NOW is looking at the pro-life issue backwards. Women should be reminded that they are strong enough and smart enough to make decisions that allow for career and educational opportunities while still giving their babies a chance at life.”

She adds, “My message to these groups who are inexplicably offended by a pro-woman, pro-child, pro-life message airing during the Super Bowl: please concentrate on empowering women, help with efforts to prevent unexpected pregnancies, stay consistent with your message that for too long women have been made to feel like sex objects in our ‘modern’ culture and that we can expect better in 2010. But don’t let your double standard glare so vividly as to undo some of the good to which you could contribute.”

Well put, Sarah.
