Should CBS Show Tim Tebow's Anti-Abortion Super Bowl Ad?

February 3, 2010 RSS Feed Print

CBS has agreed to air--and, according to recent reports, has helped put together--an anti-abortion ad during this Sunday's Super Bowl featuring University of Florida star quarterback and Heisman Trophy winner Tim Tebow. The ad, funded by the conservative Christian group Focus on the Family, includes Tebow and his mother, Pam Tebow, encouraging pregnant women to continue their pregnancies as she did. Critics, such as women's and gay rights groups, note that CBS is breaking precedent by airing the ad, as networks have generally avoided political advocacy during the Super Bowl in the past. Nevertheless, both Tim Tebow and CBS are standing behind their decision to promote Focus on the Family's message.

Although I am decidedly Pro-Life . . . when it comes to the likes of our lame brain, idiotic liberals like our Commander in Chief . . . makes me sorry that the NOW gang wasn't as strong a Pro-Abortion presence in the early 60's . . .

Good Grief! Can you liberal lhypocrits NOT see the blatant hypocrisy in what you are saying??? What ever happened to free speech and everything this country and its Constitution stand for???? A mother chooses to give LIFE to a child and you Nazis come unglued??? Has LIberalism become a death cult where choosing life is simply not acceptable to you? Are you so horrifically self-centered that you cannot tolerate the thought of someone choosing the 'inconvenience' of bearing and raising a baby instead of murdering the child because the alternative would be less 'convenient' for your hedonistic lifestyle? You people sicken me.

First, was the comparison of Tebow and Hitler necessary?

Honestly, the commercial didn't say "Women who have an abortion are evil" and it wasn't "preachy." If anything it was a mom who basically made her choice. And from what we have seen and heard of Tebow's life and actions, I think we can agree it was the right choice.
