Pam Tebow made ‘brave and virtuous’ choice, defenders respond to NOW

NOW, who claims to be "for women", is having a fit about the Tebows' pro-life ad, which will air during the Superbowl.

Defenders of a pro-life Super Bowl ad featuring sports star Tim Tebow have charged that critics are being unreasonable and venomous in their opposition to broadcasting the story of his mother’s “very brave and virtuous” decision to carry her unborn son to term despite the threat to her life. The 30-second ad is sponsored by Focus on the Family and intends to encourage respect for life. College football quarterback Tim Tebow and his mother Pam will reportedly share their story in the ad.

Pam Tebow refused medical advice to abort her unborn son after she contracted a life-threatening infection in the Philippines.

Pro-abortion women’s groups have criticized the ad and have called on CBS to refuse to air it. The National Organization for Women (NOW) has claimed it is “frankly offensive” to viewers, How is pro-life offensive? “hate masquerading as love.” They have said it sends the message that abortion is “always a mistake.” Well actually, abortion is always murder.

The New York-based Women’s Media Center, which is leading a petition effort, has billed the ad as an “attack on choice” that tries to “dictate morality” and risks women’s health by encouraging them to ignore medical advice.

One defender of the ad was Marjorie Dannenfelser of the Susan B. Anthony List. She claimed that the reaction of NOW and other abortion supporters was a sign of their increasingly unpopular pro-abortion position.

She reported that the NOW president Terry O’Neill has told the National Journal that the organization is struggling and “stalled out.”
