Going into the Superbowl, you have to admit that Focus on the Fetus and the Tebow "women are nothing but vessels for male offspring" clan have managed to really capture their fair share of the news cycle. And I've managed to capture my share of forehead bruises watching feminists respond in 15 different ways, from demanding CBS pull the ad to suggesting that it's somehow advantageous for anti-choicers to argue using our framing and language about choice. Well, I've maintained that's true only if we let them. I'd have preferred a single, loud response: "I'm so extraordinarily glad Pam Tebow was able to make the right choice for herself and her family. Too bad she wants to throw other women in jail rather than let them have the same choice." Seriously, I'm glad that Pam Tebow's self-definition as a son producer is working out so well for her. But different women have different goals and should have the same freedom to pursue them that Pam Tebow had.
