Once Again: Pro-Choice Means Pro-Abortion

Controversy is stirring again over Super Bowl ads, but this time over an issue rarely if ever associated with things football. Former University of Florida Quarterback Tim Tebow and his mother will appear in a pro-life ad sponsored by Focus on the Family, and the pro-abortion crowd can't stand it. The question is, why?

If they are really in favor of choice, then someone espousing their choice should not make a ripple with them. They're simply doing what is right for them, aren't they? Further, what's so insulting about someone publicly explaining their actions at their discretion? If all it is is their choice, why get upset about it at all?

Yet we don't hear that. We don't hear the silence that we ought to hear if the pro-choice crowd were true to their word. What we hear are sneering comments about about how Pam Tebow was only exercising her choice. That CBS should not air such commercials during a football game. We hear sportswriters whining that athletes shouldn't mix politics and sports, ignoring the issue of why a sportswriter should care about an athlete's personal view anyway. It's absurd.

But the bottom line is this: they would not care one lick about this except that pro-choice means pro-abortion. It means that the pro-abortion crowd realizes in their hearts if not in their heads that the stances are one and the same. You simply cannot logically be in favor of someone having an option to do something unless you think that option morally acceptable.

Pro-choice means pro-abortion. There is no other way to view the matter.
