The fact that this ad will be running, and that this conservative stance on abortion by a known hate group is being endorsed by a player, is unsurprising, given that it is the NFL, but despicable nonetheless.

Tim Tebow isn't an NFL player.

They are a fundamentalist hate group, plain and simple.
Wow! How is protecting the life of the unborn considered "hate"? How is preserving the traditional meaning of marriage considered "hate"? By the way, although Focus on the Family promotes pro-life views and has spoken out against gay marriage, those issues are not what this organization is about.

I doubt that you or the other liberals who are protesting this ad even know what Focus on the Family is about.

The real whiners are the people who cannot stand that I (as a woman) have RIGHTS to MY body and life.



Why do you even ask? It stands for women controlling/hating. What else?

The only issue that I could never compromise on is this one. "Prolife" is anti woman simply in my eyes.
Then I guess all of us pro-life women are anti-women ... and no, Focus on the Family is NOT anti-women or about controlling them.

I don't think I have to answer these questions.

Yes, they are what the organization is about. It was founded by James Dobson, and it supports gay "conversion" (i.e., creating "ex-gays), and protesting marriage equality and civil unions for gay couples.

And I do agree, "pro-life" is anti-woman. That any woman would endorse a completely pro-life stance is sad and illogical to me.
I guess pro-choice is anti-child then.

Don't tempt me. I have facts at my disposal, and I know how to use them.

LOL! You drink their coolaid? Their "word" is mostly a pack of lies. They make money off ignorant people by spreading lies about gay people.
