Click here to read previous articles by La Shawn BarberI know we pro-lifers keep talking and talking and blogging and writing about Tim Tebow. We can't help it!!!

A high-profile, abstinent young Christian is set to appear on the air during the hottest commercial slot in the country to tell the world his mother valued his life so much, she chose to keep rather than kill him, against her doctor's advice. Yeah, we're talking about him, and we'll keep talking about him.

Like all of us, it should be noted, Tebow's a sinner. But like some of us, he trusts Jesus Christ as his Lord and Savior.

Some pro-lifers, but not all, believe abortion is murder. Regardless, we all agree the slaughter of unborn human beings, especially for convenience, is unconscionable.

Sally Jenkins, sports columnist for the Washington Post, takes feminists, modern-day Pharisees, to task. She's gonna catch it!

"I'll spit this out quick, before the armies of feminism try to gag me and strap electrodes to my forehead: Tim Tebow is one of the better things to happen to young women in some time. I realize this stance won't endear me to the 'Dwindling Organizations of Ladies in Lockstep,' otherwise known as DOLL, but I'll try to pick up the shards of my shattered feminist credentials and go on."

Sounds like me when I fell out of liberal lockstep. In my case, libs sent ad hominem-laced hate e-mail that was more pitiful than anger-provoking. But enough about me, although the blog is called "La Shawn Barber's Corner." Jenkins continues:

"We're always harping on athletes to be more responsible and engaged in the issues of their day, and less concerned with just cashing checks. It therefore seems more than a little hypocritical to insist on it only if it means criticizing sneaker companies, and to stifle them when they take a stance that might make us uncomfortable."

Jenkins, who is pro-abortion, resents the "group-think, elitism and condescension" of the gals at the National Organization of Women. She contemplates Tebow's IQ, and she's impressed that he's provoked so many hissy fits before the ad's even graced the airwaves. Jenkins calls Pam Tebow's choice to give him a chance to live a true pro-choice story, and pro-abortion feminists would rather call foul on his 30-second ad while neglecting to "protest" beer commercials featuring half-naked women jiggling around.

"You know what we really need more of? Famous guys who aren't embarrassed to practice sexual restraint, and to say it out loud. If we had more of those, women might have fewer abortions. See, the best way to deal with unwanted pregnancy is to not get the sperm in the egg and the egg implanted to begin with, and that is an issue for men, too -- and they should step up to that."

Sing it, sister (although you should re-think your pro-abortion views and support protecting unborn life).

Rest easy, everybody. May your Super Bowl- and Tim Tebow-watching be enjoyable!
