But this was a commercial which Mrs. Tebow gladly participated in. <br /><br />What I find interesting is that many of the same people that brought up the violence towards women objection about the commercial are the same ones that disagreed with the ad in the first place before they had even seen it.<br /><br />It feels like they were embarassed by their overaction and looked for something else to criticize. It is ironic, though, that advocates of the pro-choice position (which as I understand it is the right of a woman to do as she wishes with her body) would fault a woman that willingly chose to get tackled in a commercial. I mean, it is her body. <br /><br />And we know in this case that she didn't really get tackled. It was a stand-in or maybe even CGI. My point is that a consistent pro-choice position would seem to say that she should be able to do whatever she wants and it is not for others to fault her for it.<br /><br />I just get the feeling that the abortion conversation went in a direction that some didn't like so they attempted to redirect the dialogue and, in doing so, have further marginalized their view from those that might be on the fence.<br /><br />I am all for dialogue on this issue but those that make these types of ridiculous claims are not likely to find an audience. In my opinion, it is no different than those that have claimed that a Teletubby is gay or God only sends natural disasters to places where they don't live. After a while, no one takes them seriously and they lose whatever listening they may have had in the first place.<br /><br />Blessings,<br />Scottscottmcrockerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12443168472392620197noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16413529.post-35219616618615412722010-02-10T22:53:56.250-05:002010-02-10T22:53:56.250-05:00I can't say I agree that the commercial is a &...I can't say I agree that the commercial is a "celebration of violence against women" but perhaps the message could have been different. I'm guessing, Scott, if one of your boys (as big as Tim Tebow) ran and knocked down your wife, you might be a little peeved.Linda P.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16413529.post-26640171263844061392010-02-09T22:03:44.152-05:002010-02-09T22:03:44.152-05:00Great expose on the commercial and its hype.
