first off, this entire thread is a commercial for a commercial.
i cannot imagine anyone whose opinions interest me less than a college quarterback. unless we're talking about football. and who knows maybe we'll be treated to a riot of football metaphors:
In the great game of life dontcha think it's better to accept the consequences of passing the ball from one person to another I mean abortion is like someone reaching in and stealing the football in the middle of a game this here is my mom and she didn't let anyone take the ball in the middle of my reproductive football game and so here I stand on the 50 yardline of life somewhere between being a college football quarterback and being a has-been college football quarterback and in order to establish my merchandising bona-fides for corporate entitites the boards of which swing to the reactionary here I am here, bare-naked, conservative shill-of-the-future even if my professional career goes from non-existent to disappointment with no intervening period, here I am on the 50 yard-line of my own personal football game of life thinking Praise Jesus that my mom---that's her over there you know the only other person standing here on this giant metaphor, the one with the bouffant that's her---aren't you glad that she didn't let some bad man steal the football early on in the game, that she decided to man or wo-man up and even if the football that produced me was not the result of a called play and even if it was an interception, well no matter what it's better that she ran the football back than it woulda been had she let some bad man just take the football and end the game why had that happened I wouldn't be standing here now on the 50 yard line of my own personal football game and that's why I am coming to you today to say that life and football are the same so that when I a college football player tell you don't let a bad man steal the football well, you know that I know what I'm talking about because....well...I'm a college fooball player and this......well, this is a football field and that......well, that is my mom.
I'm Tim Tebow and abortion is bad.
Ask my mom.
