Tim Tebow Super Bowl Ad – Abortion Controversy

Tim Tebow & Mom To Be In Controversial Super Bowl Ad

CBS is currently scheduled to run an ad from Focus On The Family starring Tim Tebow and his mom. The spot will be decidedly anti-abortion and pro-life.

The controversy is over whether CBS should air the Tim Tebow Super Bowl ad or not. Does it have the potential to alienate millions of viewers who do not share Tebow’s views on abortion?

Given various reports on a Super Bowl ad recession, it’s going to be tough for the network to say no.

While I do not feel it should matter that an anti-abortion pro-life should run during the superbowl. It does not seem like a good idea to connect the player with it. In this case it gives the impression that NLF supports the message as well.

I think this ad should air. There are millions of pro-life people in this country. I think they should actually promote something from the pro-life point of view for a change. This is something positive that may change the hearts of those who are considering this life and death decision of their unborn child.

I find it hard to believe that there is even an issue with the ad. We as American’s have allowed the Atheist to remove prayer from our schools & God’s name to be removed from public places. For a Country that was based on religion I find it very disturbing the direction “We the People” have taken over the last several decades. Although I personally believe abortion should be the choice of the mother & not the Government I also believe this mother made the right choice & she and her family have the right to share their story.

The Super Bowl ads should be about products and not about peoples beliefs.
