Does anyone know how I can get hold of elesa so I can smack the shit out of her for using the phrase “yet we disregard a baby thrown in a trash can here in the US” to justify robbing women of their right to control their bodies?

I might then smack her a second time for not knowing how to spell “woman’s”…

It frosts me that groups like Focus on Family exist, never mind that they plan to use the Super Bowl as a pulpit.

They ignore scriptures that advise not to work on the Sabbath, not to eat shellfish, not to lie with a woman after her period, etc. But they use other scriptures to justify their anti-gay rhetoric and hatred. In a just world, you wouldn’t be able to have it both ways.

CBS should have the common sense not to run any advocacy commercial on the highest rated program of the year.

CBS has to clock them dollas! I thought I ran across news reports that some companies, like Pepsi, aren’t paying for airtime during the primo Super Bowl slots…

UCC tried to place its “advocacy” ad in 2004 when the Republicans were in power and homosexuality was being used by that party as a wedge issue to assure re-election; Michael Powell, Colin Powell’s son, was head of the FCC (remember the phrase “wardrobe malfunction”?). CBS, and the rest of the MSM (Main Stream Media) were lapdogs, taking dictation from the White House. Now, in 2010, with another party in power, CBS is taking a different tack to the change in political winds.

Why not? We care about the deaths of people we don’t know in Haiti, yet we disregard a baby thrown in a trash can here in the US. All lives are valuable. Period. Obviously, this womans’ decision made a huge impact on a lot of lives. Should we disregard this for the sake of some peoples conscience? I think not.
