The National Organization for Women (NOW) claims domestic violence the ‘real issue’ with Tebow’s Super Bowl ad
The National Organization for Women (NOW) just can’t seem to get enough of Pam and Tim Tebow. After several weeks of sweating over the likelihood of a “pro-life, anti-abortion” ad featuring the Tebows and sponsored by Focus on the Family, the president of NOW, Terry O’Neill, is claiming that the Super Bowl ad promotes domestic violence.
In the ad, Pam Tebow begins talking about the uncertainty of little Timmy’s entry into the world. Suddenly, she’s tackled by the Heisman Trophy winner and thrown off-screen. She immediately bounces back up and scolds her son, saying, “Timmy! I’m trying to tell our story here!”
So while the ad was meant to discourage women from having abortions, O’Neill – according to the Los Angeles Times – saw a much more dangerous message being promoted:
NOW president Terry O’Neill said it glorified violence against women. “I am blown away at the celebration of the violence against women in it,” she said. “That’s what comes across to me even more strongly than the anti-abortion message. I myself am a survivor of domestic violence, and I don’t find it charming. I think CBS should be ashamed of itself.”
As the LAT article notes, plenty of folks are baffled by NOW’s recent claim of domestic violence.:
“It’s absurd to claim that this is an endorsement of violence against women,” said Frances Kissling, former president of Catholics for Choice. “These people came across as affectionate, loving, funny and happy.”
Both the National Review Online’s blog The Corner and Washington Examiner’s Mark Hemingway poked fun O’Neill’s comments.

Thank you Tim, just for being yourself. Stay the path and never let us down as other so called hollywood and so many sports stars have. God bless! Yes there are still a few of us that actually beleaveive in a God.
It is clear, the NOW and NARAL hags have now become completely irrelevant! They are a laughing stock. Totally absurd, foolish, wild-eyed Femi-Nazi’s! Just go away!!! FAR away!
Is NOW trying to say that letting Tebow live instead of ripping him limb from limb in the womb led to domestic abuse against women?
I don’t want to be that guy, but NOW has jumped the shark. They didn’t like the video that wasn’t shown, and now they don’t like the video that was shown.
Sounds like they don’t like anything.
WHAT!?!? How about Betty White getting the enema knocked out of her in the Snickers commercial. Elderly abuse! Good~lord.
Not only that, the thing that’s really p**sing NOW off, is that both Tebow’s have expressed a preference for ‘Somewhat-svelte, attractive, personable, intelligent women’, which the NOW leaders have interpreted as a ‘Direct, personal, slap-in-the-face to NOW leadership’.
These NOW bitche$ need to just give it up and get back in the kitchen where they belong.
uhhh ohhh that won’t set well.
