3. Someone posted here...

...that they were going to sue CBS for lying in an advertisement. Abortion in the Phillipines has been illegal since 1930 and any doctor or nurse who recommends it can be jailed for up to 6 years.

The Focus on the Family commercial CBS is going to run is crap.

4. I applaud you ladies :) Thank you for having the guts to stand up...

speak out and take action!
It's damned pathetic though when our grandmothers have to be the ones...
Where the hell are the men to protect America?
Where are the young women? It's their bodies that are being fought over and their rights that will be lost.
Where the hell are the new generations?
Why aren't you kids out on the streets (peacefully) protesting? This is YOUR world they are destroying damn it.

signed...yours truly...

another raging grandmother.....

20. K & R . . Keep this active . . .

This from yet another grandmother ... and yes, where is the present generation in supporting the right of CHOICE. If this generation does not get out of it's apathetic stupor and begin fighting for the rights of free people we will indeed be taken over by the religious right. What country will we, who enjoy freedom, flee to this time!

[winyanstaz]

29. I agree.....

In my youth we were the ones out there fighting....
I think because this generation isnt subjected to the draft..they dont feel personnaly at risk.
Little do they know that if you dont stand up to this..it will just keep on getting worse and they will wake up one day (soon at this rate) and find they have no rights, no freedom and they and their children are total slaves to the system.
So until they wake up..it will have to be us little ol ladies and little old men.....on the front lines of freedom.

corporate bull shit is all about exploitation --

anti-choice is exploitation of women --

10. SUPER-GREAT Grannies Bucking Super Bowl!!! Thank You! THANK YOU!

I SHOULD know by now not to be shocked by events, but every day it's just SOMETHING ELSE! It just keeps going on and on and seems to NEVER STOP!

I signed ANOTHER petition today to support pulling this AD, but we will see! Super Bowl, all men playing a game AND this is an AD THEY PICK! Nut Balls, all of them!

[emilyg]

13. How is this ad anti-choice?

I chose not to have an abortion and yet I believe that women should have the right to chose.

[Salmonslayer]

15. It is not anti choice.

It was about making a choice as far as I can see

[Divine Discontent]

17. you merely misinterpreted the title and are correct in asking how it's anti-choice, because it's not

the OP says they 'rip', meaning mock the anti-choice ad.

[SeattleGirl]

14. Ooooh, gotta love the Raging Grannies!!!

Well done, ladies! Well done!

24. WTG, ladies! n/t

[alp227]

25. RIGHT ON! Great song right here.

:bounce:

Hell, back in the '50s CBS couldn't even allow the word "pregnant" or show Ricky and Lucy in bed together on I Love Lucy.

Then in 1971 there was this All in the Family episode "Gloria Discovers Women's Lib" that dared to discuss "women's liberation". SHOCKING! I saw that episode recently on DVD. Mike and Gloria get into an argument over gender equality, and Gloria runs away from home.

And now...CBS will "take $3 million from Right to Life" instead of showing "ads from MoveOn or the like". What a disgrace from the network that brought you the idea that women "could do it!" on All in the Family and Cagney & Lacey. And the network that went risque in the Super Bowl halftime show with Janet Jackson and Justin Timberlake.

[pleah]
