My latest commentary in today’s Charleston Daily Mail:

SUPER Bowl XLIV will long be remembered for a quarterback who is yet to play his first NFL football game.

The game was eclipsed by an off-the-field message – that women have a choice – one that is difficult and seemingly lonesome to make, but need not be.

The choice pits self versus selflessness, life versus death, and potential versus present.

In fact, it was just one commercial that kept the 24-hour news channels going for nearly two weeks: Focus on the Family’s ad with Pam Tebow and her son Tim, the homeschooler-turned-Heisman Trophy winner from the University of Florida.

Around the country, the abortion industry bemoaned the Tebow ad as a shot against a woman’s sacred “right to choose.”

In the end, the abortion industry – including WV Free – has lost credibility for not speaking more clearly.

If that industry is to demand “reproductive choice,” we must demand that it articulate the choices.

After all, there is no more compelling evidence of a weak argument than when someone intentionally avoids the facts.
