Pro-Life Tim Tebow Ad Criticized by Women’s Rights Groups

A few days ago, CBS announced that an pro-life ad featuring Florida Gator Tim Tebow and his mother will be airing during the Superbowl. The ad, which cost $2.5-2.8 million dollars, will tell the story of his mothers, Pam’s, decision not to abort him, even after a doctor’s recommendation to end the pregnancy when she became sick.

The ad is said to not mention the word abortion while still getting the message across, nevertheless, it has encountered much opposition, particularly from NOW, the National Organization for Women. Many complaints have gone to CBS concerning the division, anti-choice, and general “hate” the message that Pam Tebow’s decision to keep her child would cause. Focus on the Family is described as an “anti-equality, anti-choice, homophobic organization,”

There has even been talk that Pam Tebow’s testimony is a fraud, as abortion in the Philippines has been illegal since 1930. Many make the argument that a doctor would not suggest an abortion for then-missionary Mrs. Tebow, and thusly, the whole ad is a desperate attempt at pro-life people to mislead the people concerning the subject of abortion.

Petitions have already been started, asking CBS to take out the ad from the Superbowl commercial space.
