1. Great job...too bad it won't air during the Superbowl! nt

2. True, but at least we're retaliating instead of whining

Fighting back is how to get results.

I think they should have spun the Superbowl ad as a pro-choice commercial--Tebow's mother CHOSE to defy her doctor regardless of the results. I would certainly have supported her if her doctor had forced her to terminate the pregnancyu. I would hope that Mrs. Tebow would fight for the right of others to make that choice regardless of what it is.

3. Perfectly said

I personally hate the idea of abortion, fundamentally, and deeply, but more than that I hate the idea of telling another human what they can and can't do with their own grown up lives.

So yes I agree life "starts" when those cells start to divide, but sentience is more important to me than life, and that grownup is fully sentient first. At some point that counts for more than some clump of cells dividing and growing with no more sentience than a chicken embryo.
