Tebow to appear in Focus on the Family commercial during SB XLIV

Do a Google search for "woman left newborn in trash" and get back with us.

 

So this is a trend? Or is it it like "man bites dog" in which every case makes news?

Besides, someone who does this is nuts. It's not like they had the kid, raised it for some period of time & then realized that it was a huge mistake.

Anyway, do you know anyone who regrets having their child?

 

YankeeFan finally gets at the crux of the issue...this whole debate is only in place because of the need to get a nut.

(Hey, it was sitting there, don't blame me.)

 

I don't know anyone who has made the admission that they are sorry they had their child. Not usually the kind of thing you admit.

But judging by the actions of some parents, it's obvious there are thousands.

Most people who do not want one make the choice not to have one (or abort).

The percentage of women who "are sorry they had their child" is very small . . . because that choice exists.

 

There was that guy in Nebraska who left his kids, who weren't babies, at a hospital because it was considered a safe haven.

 

YF, your best arguments are not these convoluted, logically and empirically flawed policy arguments that attempt to appeal to the heartstrings, but some sort of scientific/philosophical consensus that life begins or can be reasonably adjudged to begin at conception. You can beat Roe in more technically legal ways, but if you ever want to get abortion banned entirely, not just at state's discretion, or persuade pro-choicers, which would go a long way in giving the Court what it feels like is a green light to overturn, you need big science and big thinkers on your side. Elites, you might say.

 

Sad? Damn right.

Unique? Hardly.

Not infrequent.

Rise in teenage pregnancy rate spurs new debate on arresting it

The pregnancy rate among teenage girls in the United States has jumped for the first time in more than a decade, raising alarm that the long campaign to reduce motherhood among adolescents is faltering, according to a report released Tuesday.

...The abortion rate also inched up for the first time in more than a decade -- rising 1 percent -- intensifying concern across the ideological spectrum.

 

The Tebows can espouse whatever they wish, but I'm going to be pissed if this turns out to be one of those "phantom ads" made to be rejected by the Super Bowl broadcaster to save the group the $3 mil, while still getting more free media than they would have otherwise.

 

Relatedly, I also read that Tebow fumbled a few snaps while under center at Senior Bowl practice.

 

AP says CBS has already approved it, so unless they change their mind, it's going to run.
