Tim Tebow, a college football star is making what many predict will be an "anti-abortion on demand" case in the ad. Or at least a "please choose life" message. Naturally, that seems to demand a response from the "pro-abortion on demand" groups. (I always skip the spin descriptions "pro-life" and "pro-choice" titles of such groups in the quest for clarity.)
And so continues the debate that never ends and never will.
The interesting part in this particular round of the debate was the epiphany I experienced when the actual reason for the crumbling proposal of government run health-care became obvious to this not-so-casual observer.
It was the realization that all the people who are pro-abortion on demand, are the same people who oppose government control concerning health-care! In a moment I'll tell you how that happened.
In the mean time, how did all the pundits miss this? I mean, simple minded folks like you and I aren't expected to make such difficult calculations, that's why we have CNN, MSNBC and FOX to explain it to us. But they didn't, so I discovered it myself while reading an article, "Planned Parenthood, Athletes Respond to Tebow Super Bowl Ad" which can be found here on Fox news Internet site.
In that article a U-Tube video is discussed where some athletes, Olympic gold medalist Al Joyner and former NFL player Sean James, were trotted out to make the case for Planned Parenthood (another euphemism) just as Tebow was trotted out by the folks who paid for the commercial he appears in. Sean James made the case in part by saying; "My mom showed me that women are strong and wise," and "She taught me that only women can make the best decisions about their health and their future."
For his part, Joyner explains; "My daughter will always be my little girl." He goes on to say; "But I am proud everyday as I watch her grow up to be her own person, a smart, confident young woman. I trust her to take care of herself. We celebrate families by supporting our mothers, by supporting our daughters. By trusting women."
Except, of course, in all other matters concerning their health and lifestyle choices. For those decisions his daughter, mother and all other "strong and wise women" need government employees and political hacks making the tough calls. There is no way that these people could be so inconsistent in their views, right?
So the only conclusion a person can possibly arrive at is, all "pro-choice" people, including Planned Parenthood, oppose the government plan on health-care because women want choice on all health issues, not just abortion.
And that explains everything! No wonder Obama's dream scheme to take over the health-care industry has lately turned into a political nightmare.
So in the spirit of Super Bowl and the Yes we can (have it both ways) philosophy of life, I am choosing both sides to root for in today's contest. Can't it end in a tie? Can't Peyton Manning win again while the Saints still makes history for New Orleans fans? I mean, it would be so cool to have it both ways.
I suspect that if I am ever indicted for using sarcasm, this commentary will be all the evidence necessary to convict me.

Everyone knows that ex-jocks who munch popcorn and swill Orange Crush with their "family" are experts on bio-ethics and murder.
The implicit cynicism of the name "Planned Parenthood" is enough to sicken me.
I don't know, I thought Pete Townshend's exposed belly flab was a wardrobe malfunction. Didn't ya see it when his guitar rubbed up against his shirt? There was a little exposure there...yipes.
I thought that whole thing was a little embarrassing. And the Tebow ad was amazingly uncontroversial, at least from my perspective. The pro-abortion people's response makes them seem more desperate all the time, at least to me.
Ironic that two African American athletes are used as spokesmen for Planned Parenthood, an organization founded by Margaret Sanger to push white supremacy and eugenics.
Very much so. Only surpassed in irony by the decendants of slaves being the most reliable supporters for big government policies which essentially have enslaved them again.
I have written about that irony/mystery before. It can be found at the link below if you are interested.
