What did I expect?

January 26, 2010 by Scott

Wow! Isn’t it strange – the two-faced politics that are just accepted here in the US? (Now before you go thinking Presidential, I’m not even going there. Anyone with a desire to see this country become what it was founded to be can see that this administration has no clue. There are bad policies and mishandled situations in every administration, but really…)

Anyway, I’m talking specifically about the ad that Focus on the Family is buying time during the Super Bowl to air. It is an ad that is reported to speak against abortion buy showing a different choice made by a well-known person. It features Tim Tebow and his mother, and focuses on her decision to give birth to Tim even though she was very sick and encouraged to end the pregnancy.

The thing that blows my mind is that organizations, such as the National Organization for Women and Women’s Media Center, who say they are for “CHOICE”, are the protesters. They are protesting this ad because it offers a different CHOICE than abortion. They are for CHOICE as long as it is the choice they want women to make. They are so afraid that the other choice, the better choice, will be enough to destroy their foothold.

They even take shots at CBS. They are softly threatening that airing this would put them at odds with powerful groups and advertisers. They especially take shots at Focus on the Family. Check out this quote from the story…
“By offering one of the most coveted advertising spots of the year to an anti-equality, anti-choice, homophobic organization, CBS is aligning itself with a political stance that will damage its reputation, alienate viewers, and discourage consumers from supporting its shows and advertisers,” stated a letter from the women’s group.Read more: http://www.nydailynews.com/sports/2010/01/26/2010-01-26_womens_groups_protest_tim_tebows_prolife_super_bowl_ad_for_focus_on_the_family.html#ixzz0djRkvi8P
I just don’t know what I expected from people who have no foundation for the “values” they support and live by. Without a firm foundation of biblical principals, this is exactly what I should expect to see. What a messed up world we live in!

We must stand up for Godly principles or we will continue down this path of losing both our humanity and our concern for others.

Check out the following scriptures…

Psalm 139:13-18

1 Cor. 3:11
