I push this because few people would consider the context of her decision. Making the decision in the Philippines is much different than in the United States. We should applaud her for making the decision to risk her life and have her child. But we should also recognize that she had no other legal choice in the Philipinnes.

Are you claiming that she lied about her doctor's advice?
Tuesday, February 09, 2010 at 08:32 PM

Yes, I think she wants to claim that she refused the doctors request that she have an abortion, but did not realize that the doctors in the Philippines would not suggest abortion since it was and remains illegal.

She did not make a choice, she followed Philippine law. Abortion is and has been illegal in the Philippines even if the mother's life is in danger. Both she and her doctor would have been arrested. Is that a choice?

If NOW was honest and upfront they would support this womans right to choose life. It isn't about a womans right to choose life it is about erasing a human life for convience sake. I wonder how many great people have been murdered and not allowed to come into this world because it is a womans right. Maybe one of the murdered babies was going to grow up and have the cure for aids but because of a womans right this will never happen.

They know through the next election cycles, they'll be slaughtered.
They were so (wrongly) sure of themselves in '08, they stupidly let their true communist colors show and we're all wise to them now.
Even he American sheeple who were completely asleep and awake now and the liberal rats know it's the end of the trail for them.

If this commercial was the exact opposite, and showed a woman who had an abortion and it made her a happier person, would that be okay too? You fking hypocrites. If you don't want an abortion, don't get one. If you do, then get one. It's all about CHOICE and I don't want the government telling me that I HAVE to have a baby, thank you very much.

Nothing was bad about the ad itself, you just have to wonder why Focus on the Family made and aired this ad during the Superbowl.
Was it solely to get people to go to their website? To set up Democrats to look like fools? Publicity?
Unless you happen to be Michael Steele, you don't just plunk down $2.5 mil for someone else to say that they love their son.
