Pro-Life Athlete Seen during Super Bowl

Of course, we made a little time to watch the SuperBowl, and waited to see the pro-life commercial with Tim Tebow and his mom Pam. Made by Focus on the Family, the commercial never says the "abortion" word but goes a long way toward showing the affection/devotion between mother and son. I loved the humor, too. In 1987, Tebow suffered from a dangerous infection during a mission trip to the Philippines, and doctors recommended that she terminate her pregnancy, fearing she might die in childbirth. But she carried Tim to term, and he went on to win the 2007 Heisman Trophy and two BCS championships with the Florida Gators. The NOW women were waving their "pro-choice" banners all week prior and were determined to censor this woman's right to celebrate her choice to go ahead with a difficult pregnancy. I like how Dave Andrusko at NRLC calls them "pro-aborts behaving badly" and I realize it gave extra publicity to this $2.3 million spot.
