Liberals Worry That the "Pro-Life Message Is Becoming Mainstream"

Commenting on the Tebow ad, Clifton B. (who blogs at Another Black Conservative) says, "When you think back to all the shrill comments made by the pro-abortion groups, you begin to see just what these people are truly afraid of."

"What the pro-abortion side is worried about is that the pro-life message is becoming mainstream. Just last month Sarah Palin and her daughter Bristol were on the cover of In Touch magazine with a big fat pro-life message. The pro-abortion side is fearful of these pro-life messages becoming mainstream because they are very hard to counter. Consider the ad above. It is positive; it is uplifting and makes a profound point in the gentlest way. Now try to imagine making a pro-choice message with all the same elements, pretty hard to do without being absolutely perverse."

(Spot on, Clifton. By the way, I found this illuminating statement in the "Quote of the Day" section of Jill Stanek's superb website. Thanks, Jill.)
