A sigh of relief

February 4, 2010 by Andrea Mrozek 2 Comments

Aaaaaah. Reading this column from a pro-choice female sports writer made my day. So very reasonable. And funny in places, too. And to the point on the whole Tim Tebow ad:

Let me be clear again: I couldn’t disagree with Tebow more. It’s my own belief that the state has no business putting its hand under skirts. But I don’t care that we differ. Some people will care that the ad is paid for by Focus on the Family, a group whose former spokesman, James Dobson, says loathsome things about gays. Some will care that Tebow is a creationist. Some will care that CBS has rejected a gay dating service ad. None of this is the point. CBS owns its broadcast and can run whatever advertising it wants, and Tebow has a right to express his beliefs publicly. Just as I have the right to reject or accept them after listening — or think a little more deeply about the issues. If the pro-choice stance is so precarious that a story about someone who chose to carry a risky pregnancy to term undermines it, then CBS is not the problem.

Bingo. (I actually believe it to be about that precarious. Which is, of course, very, very encouraging.)

    Awesome article! I very much appreciate how Ms. Jenkins talks about the need for men to realize they too have a responsibility regarding pregnancy. It’s amazing that after the recent revelations regarding celebrity sports figures, Tim Tebow isn’t given even more respect. He’s my role model not simply because of his dedication on the field, but also because he is an example of a real man
