Of course this is about politics -it’s also about ethics, choice and information. The bias in this article is blatant. It states “women’s groups” are against this ad. What “women’s groups”? NOW? NARAL? Liberal women’s groups, Pro-choice, pro-abortion “women’s groups” may be, but all are not. Language is and always has been one of the ways the media makes the liberal agenda’s viewpoint the norm. Until fairly recently, it was pro-choice and anti-choice. NOW was quoted as if it represented all women. However, based on its own tax returns, NOW has inflated membership numbers for years, and is dwarfed by the much larger, much more active Concerned Women for America. But when was the last time NOW was treated as just ONE voice or opinion? Look at the treatment of FOX news: radical right, conservative, dangerous. Yet, even their opinion shows have a variety of commentators: Alan Colmes, Juan Williams, Susan Estrich, Mara Liasson. Yet “Organizing for America” insults and demeans that reality, to the point of dismissing and denigrating Williams and Liasson who are nationally recognized and respected journalists. CNN dumps Glenn Beck, among others, and there’s barely a ripple (and that ripple is praise). Fox drops Marc Hill and it’s discrimination, right wing purification. The problem is the Fox dares to be conservative, when ABC, NBC, CBS and especially MSNBC see liberal political and social views as the norm. The reality is that most American are actually to the right of center, more and more young people are pro-life (especially in the latter stages of pregnancy) and we want more than political talking points passing as news.

CBS has a right to publish what it chooses to do. Shouldn’t we trust the judgement of this station especially considering that we have not even seen that add yet, but are judging this advertisement on assumptions that could be completely false?

Gloria Allred, you may want to visit this site before saying things like that

Thanks to Punisher who first posted this on a comment on examiner.com for finding this.

Abortion was never “illegal” in the United States. Individual states could allow or not allow them. Abortion was legal in Oregon, for example, before Roe v. Wade.

If Roe v. Wade was ever overturned (it won’t be), that would mean that it would again be up to individual states to keep it legal or to make it illegal in that state.

It’s been projected that if this was to occur (and it won’t), that most states would opt to keep abortion legal in at least most circumstances, and the number of clinics in the country that would have to stop doing abortions is about 11 clinics.

So, keep spewing and please hold your breath waiting for Roe v. Wade to be overturned, while contemplating what that would really mean (see above).

What is amazing to me is how Gloria Allred argues that the ad somehow lies to the American people, that what Tebow’s mother says she experienced could not have happened and that “people want to watch the game, not the ads..”. If she is so apalled by Focus On The Family’s political involvement, perhaps she should show them by example how to stay out of the political arena and keep her left-wing political agenda to herself.

This is about money. So, let’s not pretend that Gloria is really protecting anything, or for that matter, stands for anything. And, Gloria, don’t speak for the American people, you certainly don’t speak for me.
