An ad about the ad we haven’t yet seen

February 5, 2010 by Andrea Mrozek 6 Comments

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

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.)

Astonish me

February 3, 2010 by Véronique Bergeron 1 Comment

CBC Radio 1’s arts, culture and entertainment magazine Q is advertising a debate on the upcoming Super Bowl’s pro-life ad. Now, I am not naive enough to believe that the outcome of this debate will somehow support the broadcasting of said ad. Although you could potentially support freedom of expression without supporting the anti-abortion sentiment. I mean, it is theoretically possible. You know, along the lines of Voltaire’s attributed:

I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it.

Anyhow. Q is having a debate and a debate suggests debaters. Does this mean that someone on the CBC will support the broadcasting of the pro-life ad, thus challenging everything pro-abortion? It remains to be seen. Come on CBC, astonish me! Looking forward to hear it.
