Paranoia runs high. Here’s Planned Parenthood’s counter-ad to the upcoming Tim Tebow Super Bowl ad.

An ad about the ad we haven’t yet seen

I am finding this whole thing so entertaining. I don’t have TV and have so little interest in football, I don’t even know who is playing in the Superbowl, but I somehow know all about this Tim Tebow fellow and the hysteria over this ad that nobody has seen. Don’t PP and everyone else getting their panties in a twist over this realize how ridiculous they appear?
So let’s just recap the message of this ad: “We value women so much that we think every woman should have the right to choose to support the authorized killing of millions of little pre-born women.”
How profoundly logical and powerfully moving!
And as much as the speakers in the ad purport to speak for their “daughters” presumably being able to choose abortion in the future, does anyone seriously doubt that it’s far more likely the case that men who are pro-choice take that position out of concern that their girlfriends might give birth to a child that they don’t want to support?
Well said.
I have a hard time understanding the whole daughter support thing. I would want to support my daughters by demanding resbonsibility from lustful men, not by catering to their needs at the expense of my daughters’ inherent potential for motherhood. Seen in this light, this add, and second wave feminism in general, is truly anti-feminine.
Two MEN speaking for prochoice WOMEN? I don’t get it. Can’t women speak for themselves? Or did the PP ladies behind this ad think that the men watching football (of course women don’t watch football–every feminist knows that!) would not want to watch a woman talking about supporting choice? (Do the women at PPI know that lots of women anchor spots on sports channels?) And that men watch them? And that lots of men are gung-ho for abortion because it relieves them of any responsibility to the women in their lives? Am I being completely random and making no sense?
Then I have something in common with the flaky gals at PP.
Interesting, and rather juvenile to spin the language and meaning of such life-giving realities as families, relationships and the dignity and choice of women, not to mention the use of trust to imply a disconnected and individualistic decision in relation to healthcare. The subtleties are very sneaky! This ad hides so much and is quite loaded in what it is really saying. Why the need to hide what you really want to say PP? Why not say it loud and proud??
