One of the big events surrounding last night's Super Bowl was Pam and Tim Tebow's "pro-life" ad for Focus on the Family. You can watch it here:
Naturally, the National Organization for Humorless Scolds Women couldn't stand to see a positive pro-family ad go without comment:
NOW president Terry O'Neill said it glorified violence against women. "I am blown away at the celebration of the violence against women in it," she said. "That's what comes across to me even more strongly than the anti-abortion message. I myself am a survivor of domestic violence, and I don't find it charming. I think CBS should be ashamed of itself."
Oh good grief. It takes a lot of gall for one of the country's leading abortion defenders to accuse others of violence, let alone when it's obvious and harmless slapstick. Remember, domestic violence is only okay when committed against unborn children -- am I right, NOW?
