I am mildly bugged about this. The commercial that Focus On The [right wing] Family paid to have aired during the Super Bowl. The frauds over at CBS actually allowed Tim Tebow to appear in a commercial to pitch pro-life propaganda. CBS….you ought to be ashamed of themselves. It’s the damn Super Bowl! I want to see athletes get their game on. I don’t need to get preached to from someone standing on a holier than thou soap box. And besides, didn’t they tell a a church group who wanted to embrace Gays no to an ad a few years back?
“I know some people won’t agree with it,” said Tebow of the 30-second ad at a press conference in Mobile, Ala., on Sunday, in preparation for next weekend’s Senior Bowl. “But I think they can at least respect that I stand up for what I believe. I’ve always been very convicted of [his views on abortion] because that’s the reason I’m here, because my mom was a very courageous woman.”
You know what Tim…? Your mom’s story doesn’t really add up. She says she had complications in the Philippines during her pregnancy with you, and was told by doctors in the Philippines to get and abortion. Problem is abortion had been outlawed in the Philippines since the 1930’s under all circumstances including rape and incest. Why would doctors tell her to get an abortion when their own advice was illegal and they could have faced 6 years in prison?
You know, I try to be careful with subjects like this… I’m a skeptic, and have become accustomed to opposing sides stretching the truth (and on occasion, outright lying) to push their own agenda, but Tim Tebow and his mom tenderly telling women they are sinners if they do anything other than carry every pregnancy to term during the Super Bowl broadcast is absurd. Brought to you by the exact same people who freaked the hell out when Janet Jackson’s nipple made a half second appearance. You judge which is more offensive and which really matters.
