PPFA's Weak Response to Tebow Ad
Part Two of Two
By Dave Andrusko
I always suspected PPFA would
offer some comeback to Tim
Tebow's much anticipated Super
Bowl ad. The primary naysayers
were NOW, the Feminist Majority,
and the Women's Media Center,
but it is PPFA that does the
heavy lifting for the anti-life
side.

Having said that, rather than
purchasing an ad to run during
the February 7 Super Bowl in
Miami, what we see from PPFA is
a Youtube special. Two guys
--former NFL player Sean James
and Olympic gold medalist Al
Joyner--talk about respecting
and honoring Mrs. Pam Tebow's
decision not to abort Tim, going
against doctor's advice, then
pivot to how they are "working
toward the day when every woman
will be valued. Where every
woman's decision about her
health and her family will be
respected." Etc., etc., etc.
You get the sense that PPFA felt
it had no choice, pun intended.
Many self-described "pro-choicers"
have hammered NOW and the other
ringleaders unmercifully for
infringing on the free speech
rights of Tim and Pam Tebow, and
told them if they objected, run
their own spot. Worse yet for
the Abortion Establishment,
these self-same "pro-choicers"
concluded that NOW etc. were
really pro-abortion.
And, of course, adding insult to
injury, the anti-life side saw
Tim Tebow garner even more
attention for the 30-second spot
when he was invited to give the
closing prayer at this morning's
National Prayer Breakfast. You
