Based on the Super Bowl commercials tonight, you wouldn't guess that any women watch the Super Bowl, or actually care about football.
...
who would've thought that the Tim Tebow abortion ad would actually be one of the less sexist ads tonight?
Thanks to Silence Isn't Golden. I wonder how the ads did in the ratings.

It's interesting that the Tebow/Focus on the Family ad backed off the abortion claim.
