Pro-choice columnist rips pro-abortion organizations for attacking prolife Super Bowl ad

Washington Post sports columnist Sally Jenkins calls herself "pro-choice" but doesn't think much of pro-abortion organizations, including the National Organization for Women, who are opposed to CBS airing an advertisement featuring the prolife story of Heisman winning quarterback Tim Tebow. She writes,
Tebow's 30-second ad hasn't even run yet, but it already has provoked "The National Organization for Women Who Only Think Like Us" to reveal something important about themselves: They aren't actually "pro-choice" so much as they are pro-abortion....

Tebow's ad, by the way, never mentions abortion; like the player himself, it's apparently soft-spoken. It simply has the theme "Celebrate Family, Celebrate Life." This is what NOW has labeled "extraordinarily offensive and demeaning." But if there is any demeaning here, it's coming from NOW, via the suggestion that these aren't real questions, and that we as a Super Bowl audience are too stupid or too disinterested to handle them on game day.
