I caught just the tail end of this much-talked-about ad last night on the Superbowl. It's simple and effective. And I wonder, How could anyone object to this? Actually, I would have preferred for it to have been even stronger on the pro-life message, but maybe understatement is the way to go. Dave Gibson said the ad's rollout was a brilliant strategy, too.

Frank Turnbull, S.J., a longtime editor at 'America' who died earlier this week, is remembered as a humble, quiet and yet forceful presence to those who knew him during his 85 years of life.
A Reflection for Saturday of the Fifteenth Week in Ordinary Time, by Zac Davis
Trauma-informed spirituality knows better than to promise that prayer will take away all the pain. But it can offer the hope that, even in the midst of pain, there can be moments of feeling whole.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu telephoned Pope Leo XIV, who urged Israel’s leader to revive negotiations and enact a ceasefire.
I have often thought that I should make an advertizement for unwed mothers. After many years of painful infertility (my husband and I REALLY wanted a baby), we were blessed with a teenage girl giving her newborn baby to us. No strings attached, this baby would be ours as if it had come from our very own bodies, forever and for generations to come. What a gift! Even though I never met her, every year I think of this young girl who must now be in her 40s, and thank her from the bottom of my heart for the gift of life that she gave to us. I hope that she knows it.
After rejecting the doctor's advice, Pam Tebow has no further medical treatment until seven months later, when she goes to Manila. This story makes no sense. A woman is told she is not pregnant but instead has a tumor, and she doesn't see another doctor until seven months later. Who, under the circumstances, would not at least seek a second opinion? What if it had indeed been a tumor and she let it go for seven months? Something about the story just doesn't make sense.
Additionally the story Pam Tebow tells in an interview with the Gainesville Sun give an account that can't be reconciled with the recorded interview on the Focus on the Family website.
"The ad ... is subtle, with Pam Tebow speaking of Tim as her “miracle baby.” The polarizing A-word is not mentioned, nor the term “pro life,” but it directed viewers to a Focus on the Family link where Tebow’s mother does talk of her decision to carry him to term despite a doctor’s warning that doing so could endanger her life. In it her husband Bob talked of “weeping over the loss of millions of babies in America that were never given a chance .... could the link on the Focus on the Family web site unduly influence women whose lives are seriously at risk because of their pregnancy? "
I think this ad will go down in history as symbolic of the collapse of radical feminism.
