Running Scared

Well Pam Tebow has certainly gotten the real anti-choice people up in arms.  You may recall that I recently wrote about a Focus On The Family ad that features Mrs. Tebow, her son Tim (the Heisman Trophy winning quarterback from the University of Florida) and the Super Bowl ad featuring these two and their life story.  The real anti-choice crowd has put the full court press on CBS trying to get them to pull the ad.  The National Organization of Women calls the ad "offensive to women" and the Womens Media Center has called the ad "divisive".  Both of these anti-choice groups were co-signatories (along with 29 others) of a letter to CBS urging them to pull the ad.

Logical Lady Star Parker absolutely nails the reason these anti-choice groups are so up in arms about the ad....it puts a human face on that unviable mass of tissue.....

First, the enabler of human brutality is de-humanization. Pro-abortionists know that our existing legalized abortion regime can only continue as long as we keep the human face off abortion.

It's why ultrasound has revolutionized this world. When young women who have doubts about taking their pregnancy to term see the live child within them, they overwhelming decide to give birth. You don't have to preach. They see that this is life and they know what to do.

I have written in the past that if the personal ultrasound experience could be conveyed to public consciousness, the abortion holocaust would stop.

The Tebow story will put this human face on abortion for the 100 million or so who will watch the Super Bowl. Nothing could be scarier for the culture of death.

When Harriet Beecher Stowe published Uncle Tom's Cabin, she put a human face on slavery. When the American public understood that slaves were human beings, the capacity to tolerate slavery was punctured.

Her second point is one that religious groups have long talked about - the personal responsibility aspect.....

The second aspect of the Tebow ad that scares abortionists is that it shows that love arises from personal responsibility. This beautiful story of a mother and son shows that love is not about political claims but about individuals taking responsibility for their life and knowing that life is about more than self. It is caring for others and knowing that you are part of something bigger than just you.

Not the personal responsibility aspect the dictates you stay abstinent but the personal responsibility aspect that comes after the fact....of taking responsibility for the life you helped create - instead of casting it aside as one would throw out a glass of stale beer from last night's party.

Actions have consequences - something that the anti-choice crowd simply refuses to recognize.  Even the action of choosing to have an abortion will have adverse consequences on the woman - something the anti-choice crowd does not want women to know.

The whole point of "choice" is for the chooser to make a decision based on the facts of their situation.  In order to make a fact based choice, one has to know ALL of the options that are open to them at the time.  The abortion mill industry and it's supporters don't want women to know about options other than abortion which is what makes them the TRUE anti-choice crowd.  The don't want women to be informed consumers because they are deathly afraid that once all options are laid on the table (including the pros and cons of both abortion and carrying the pregnancy to term) that more and more women will make the same CHOICE that Pam Tebow did - the choice to carry the pregnancy to term - whether for adoption or to keep the child themselves.  As we continue to humanize the real choice of abortion, expect the chorus from the real anti-choice movement to become louder and more strident - after all their financial future depends on it!
