This Isn't About Ads Any More (Video Responses to Focus on the Family's CBS Super Bowl Ad)

As with many things that irritate, Focus on the Family's "pro-life" ad has gotten under the skin of a lot of people--people who prefer their sports politics-free, people who are pro-choice, and people who like their gay selves, siblings, friends, neighbors, co-workers, and parents just fine the way they are.

Can't go without mentioning the Planned Parenthood ad:

There's the spicier Raging Grannies ad (women after our own hearts who TOTALLY GET IT):

And now there's an ad making fun of the Focus on the Family's particular brand of right-wing Christian homophobia:

While these are all alternately touching, hilarious, and snarky, it's not about the ads any more. It's about a right-wing religious organization that's funded to the tune of $112,000,000 and chronically UNDERFUNDED pro-choice organizations. That's why MOMocrats launched this Tailgate for Choice campaign.

If we say we support choice and enjoy reproductive rights, then let's walk the walk with even a small donation to the organizations that protect those rights for us and provide needed services to women.

MOMocrats' Super Bowl Tailgate for Choice: You're Invited!

The MOMocrats are throwing a “Tailgate for Choice,” and we're inviting 
men and women who support reproductive rights to shout it
 with your dollars on Super Bowl Sunday!

If you’re attending or hosting a Superbowl party when the Focus on the 
Family tv ad comes on, use it to prompt you to donate at least $5 online to your 
favorite pro-choice organization. (See the list and take the pledge after the jump.)

That way, right-wing 
religious fundamentalists interested in making their narrow values everyone 
else’s values will instead have spent $2.5 million on A GIANT PRO-CHOICE AD.

Even if you’re not at a Super Bowl party—or even if the ad gets pulled—on Sunday, February 7, 2010, make a donation to keep choice safe and 
accessible for women. 'Cuz uteruses aren't political footballs.
