LifeSite News states, "But Tebow’s pro-life convictions spring from an unusually personal source: back in 1987, his mother contracted amoebic dysentery while pregnant with him in the Philippines, and doctors recommended abortion. Had Pam Tebow taken that advice, Tebow fans would never have seen the football phenomenon win the Heisman Trophy in 2007 and carry the Gators to victory in two major championships."
On the SunSentinel.com, Tim Tebow's father tells sports illustrated the story behind his son's birth:
“When I was out in the mountains in Mindanao, back in ’86, I was showing a film and preaching that night. I was weeping over the millions of babies being [aborted] in America, and I prayed, ‘God, if you give me a son, if you give me Timmy, I’ll raise him to be a preacher.’ ” Not long after, Bob and Pam Tebow conceived their fifth child. It was a very difficult pregnancy. “The placenta was never properly attached, and there was bleeding from the get-go,” Bob recalls. “We thought we’d lost him several times.” Early in the pregnancy Pam contracted amebic dysentery, which briefly put her in a coma. Her doctors, fearful that medications they had given her had damaged the fetus, advised her to abort it. She refused, and on Aug. 14, 1987, Pam delivered a healthy if somewhat scrawny Timothy Richard Tebow.
“All his life, from the moment he could understand, I told him, ‘You’re a miracle baby,’” Bob recalls. “‘God’s got a purpose for you, and at some point I think He’s going to call you to preach.’
“I asked God for a preacher, and he gave me a quarterback."
"At a Sunday press conference in Mobile, Tebow told the gaggle of reporters: "I know some people won't agree with [the ad], but I think they can at least respect that I stand up for what I believe, and I'm never shy about that."
"I don't feel like I'm very preachy about it, but I do stand up for what I believe. Unfortunately in today's society not many athletes tend to do that. So I'm just standing for something."
"But Tebow’s standing for pro-life values has outraged abortion advocacy groups, who fear the effect the Focus on the Family ad could have on millions of Super Bowl viewers on Feb. 7. Tebow’s story is already credited with having influenced a number of women to choose not to abort their babies."
Tim Tebow's mother chose LIFE. That is absolutely wonderful. Tim Tebow, would have NEVER EXISTED, WOULD HAVE BEEN MURDERED, if his mother had chosen to have an abortion. The Florida Gators would not have Tim Tebow, who is a top-tiered quarterback and a very skilled athlete playing for them, if Tim Tebow's mother had an abortion. SHE CHOSE LIFE!!!!
But, Unfortunately pro-abort women's groups like NOW(National Organization for women) and others want the ad planned to be aired on Superbowl Sunday to be yanked. These groups are NOT FOR CHOICE. If they really were for choice than they would have no qualms or complaints about the ad being run during the Superbowl. This display of ANTI-CHOICE by the so-called choicers displays just how committed they are to the pro-abortion or pro-death cause. These women's groups are really only for
ONE CHOICE=ABORTION=DEATH=MURDER OF AN INNOCENT BABY
The fact that there is a controversy over an ad that promotes a good message of life and family values shows the hypocrisy and shows that they ONLY support ONE CHOICE, the pro-death choice of these so-called pro-choice groups.
The Superbowl ad is called, “Celebrate Family, Celebrate Life.” By these pro-choice women's groups opposing this ad, they effectively saying that we should not be celebrating Tim Tebow's wonderful life, his accomplishments, and that he should not have been born. His is a life to be celebrated. His accomplishments and life are very much worthy of praise and honoring in this TV ad.
From LifeSite News, “In the three and a half years that I advised FCC Chairman Kevin Martin on indecency issues, I can’t recall one time that NOW ever spoke out about the sexually graphic or misogynistic content on CBS,” Penny Nance, CEO for Concerned Women for America told LifeSiteNews.com. “I find it laughable that NOW has a problem with Tim Tebow sharing his own story. If NOW really cared about women they would stop flacking for the abortion industry and start working on behalf of women.”
"There’s nothing political and controversial about it,” said Gary Schneeberger, a spokesman for Focus on the Family. “When the day arrives, and you sit down to watch the game on TV, those who oppose it will be quite surprised at what the ad is all about."
"With the Super Bowl set to kick off in about two weeks, CBS, which has already reviewed and approved the ad’s script, has given no indication of yanking the Tebow ad."
You can sign the petition here to support the decision for CBS to air the the Tim Tebow Super Bowl Ad.
“CBS needs to hear the voices of those who support life and family as well,” said LSN editor, John-Henry Westen. “Therefore LSN is launching this petition addressed to CBS, asking them not to cave in to pressure to pull the Focus on the Family ad.”
"In a recent press release Fr. Frank Pavone of Priests for Life commented on the war over the ad. "Why should it bother people who call themselves pro-choice if women watch Pam Tebow and her son Tim on Super Bowl Sunday and freely decide to choose life? Would fewer abortions be a bad thing?" he asked."
The Tim Tebow ad should still be aired.
CHOOSE LIFE: Its the choice that saves a life.

Completely aside from the fact that I'm the worlds biggest Gator fan and when cut, I bleed Orange & Blue...
Tim Tebow is representative of "ALL" that is "GOOD" in this country... His story is inspiring and genuine, proving how good "ALWAYS" trumps evil...
Have a super weekend..it's absolutley freezing in (NOT Global warming) NYC!..lol :)
While we are all Ga Ga over Pam Tebow, we should also thank Eunice Durden for giving birth to another Heisman Trophy winner, O.J. Simpson. She made home-made braces for his rickets that he wore till age five. O.J. Simpson is currently serving his nine sentence at the Lovelock Correctional Center in Lovelock Nevada. Mothers will be Mothers
I'm a USF graduate and I won't
root for the Gators over my Bulls, but any other time, Tebow gets my vote. He's an awesome young man in our state.
I was shocked to see an article in the local paper talking about his chances in the NFL draft pick were dropping as we speak. They talk about it being because his delivery is too slow, but I wonder...
Tebow has already won a victory whether the ad runs on CBS or not. He and his mom have already gotten more coverage than any ad will get. I pray the ad runs, but no matter what a small victory has already been run.
The Tebow thing got overshadowed by the STFU, I'm glad folks are getting to it now.
CBS should run the ad, but it won't surprise me if they don't.
Tim Tebow seems to be the kind of sports hero that our young people really need. With all the attention this add is getting, they would be foolish to pull it.
I heard about this on O'Reilly... Pro-Choicers are pretty upset about this woman CHOOSING NOT to have an abortion? I'm glad it's going to air and I pray it continues to make their blood boil.
This CBS spot celebrates the right to choose life. If the abortion activists want a spot celebrating the right to choose death, then more power to them.
Anon,
Your missing the point. The pro-abortion groups are against the Tebow ad airing regardless of whether they air an ad or not. Actually, the ad that pro-abort groups came up with in response to Tebow's ad, which celebrates his life, is only being shown on the internet.
Score 1 touchdown for Pro-Life groups.
Thank you Mr and Mrs Tebow on your aticle about your choice with Tim, look what kind of a young man you have . if any other choice was made look what have been missing, we are glad that CBS will be airing Tim Tebows message at the superbowl. good luck Tim on your NFL pick. a Notre Dame fan.
Oh, I get it! You only get your comment posted here if you agree with the "pro-forced-birth/anti-liberty" people. If you would have mentioned that upfront I wouldn't have wasted my time (as I am apparently wasting it here) writing a sincere rebuttal to those who laughingly call themselves by the misnomer "pro-life." Well, that's demagoguery for you, which is what the anti-women/anti-American people are all about--wanting to force non-choice on everyone else. Warn us next time.
So no discussion here? Only agreement with people who mistakenly believe they're "pro-life"? How "democratic" of you.
I guess all I can do is hit my mute button whenever one of these horrid Tebow anti-women, anti-democratic spots come on. Well, I'll be ready with my remote! And I'll obviously be rooting for his failure in the NFL (which looks assured, according to the talent scouts and people who understand the requirements to play in the NFL). Tebow and CBS come across like repressive, authoritarian scumbags.
Greg, George, and Arthur,
There is discussion on this blog and that is why I posted your comments.
STOP being a bunch of whiny liberals against the choice of LIFE.
You pro-aborts prey on the innocent human beings, allowing innocents human babies to be killed. This was Pam Tebow's choice, and she chose LIFE.
Its too bad that you can't celebrate a wonderful life, like Tim Tebow's.
By being against this ad airing you are in effect saying Tim Tebow should not have been born and are saying the life he's lived is worthless.
You are a bunch of hypocrites who are PRO-DEATH!!!!
And ANTI-LIFE!!!!
Teresa: I know it's futile arguing with someone who calls people whom she disagrees with "pro-death" so why bother? Just know this: your argument has nothing to do logic, rationality, truth, tolerance, or the American spirit of democracy. It is an authoritarian, totalitarian form of severe prejudice, and it is what causes violent, self-righteous thugs who are hypnotized by religion or whatever it is that has brainwashed them with unquestioned "beliefs" to murder physicians and then CELEBRATE their ugly, heinous acts. You wrote: "By being against this ad airing you are in effect saying Tim Tebow should not have been born and are saying the life he's lived is worthless." This is a hysterical, irrational statement. I neither said nor inferred such a thing. It makes you sound INSANE. I don't care about Tim Tebow--he's just another football guy; I could care less what Pam Tebow decided to do with her life. But don't tell other people WHAT THEY MUST DO WITH THEIR OWN BODIES. Don't call them EVIL. A fetus is not a BABY--it IS only in the eyes of demagogic, anti-human, anti-freedom, anti-American, illogical firebrands who push their personal beliefs on the rest of society as "truth." And know this as well: You will never "win." NEVER. There will ALWAYS be people who will fight you for as long as it takes. But by demonizing human beings for asserting control over THEIR OWN LIVES AND BODIES you MAY succeed in making other people who have nothing to do with you MISERABLE and maybe HELP CAUSE THEIR SUFFERING AND DEATH and ADD TO THE GRIEF AND DESPAIR OF A DANGEROUSLY OVERPOPULATED PLANET FILLED MORE AND MORE WITH UNWANTED CHILDREN WHO WHEN THEY, AS UNLOVED AND ALIENATED MEMBERS OF AN UNDERCLASS YOU HELPED CREATE BY WANTING TO FORCE WOMEN TO GIVE BIRTH, LIVE IMPOVERISHED LIVES IN ECONOMICALLY IMPOVERISHED COMMUNITIES AND COMMIT VIOLENT ANTI-SOCIAL ACTS, YOU TYPICALLY WILL DO NOTHING TO HELP BUT ONLY WANT TO PUNISH AND, OFTEN, WANT THEM PUT TO DEATH IN OUR OVERCROWDED PRISONS FILLED WITH THE UNWANTED PEOPLE YOU HAVE INSISTED WOMEN MUST BE FORCED TO GIVE BIRTH TO. So have your little cause and go nuts if that's what you want to do with you time here on earth. JUST DON'T CALL IT "PRO-LIFE"! Nothing could be more profoundly hypocritical.
Arthur,
THE TRUTH and reality is that unborn babies or fetuses are HUMAN BEINGS. You can choose to be ignorant and ignore reality but the TRUTH is that you are PRO-DEATH in a fascist way. I am pro-life and not for any innocent person's death. You are for the killing of innocent human life.
You are anti-American when you would choose being selfish and advocate for killing innocent human beings over being an advocate for inncent human life. Where the heck do you think you came from? A human being, your mother. So, since you have admitted that you believe that you weren't human when in the womb prior to birth was there some strange alien event that occured or are you a human being now? If you are a human being now than you were a human being when you in your mother's womb. What if your mom had aborted you? Would you exist today? NO. Because you would have been killed. You in fact are the hypocrite and person that is PRO-DEATH and ANTI-American since you are against human beings being born. You are ANTI-CHOICE!! You are against LIFE, so yes you are PRO-DEATH, and that is the TRUTH.
You are the one who is NUTS!! All over a pro-life television ad that exposes the LIES of Planned Parenthood and Liberals like yourself. This ad is clebrating LIFE, and that life happens to be Tim Tebow's life and you are proclaiming to be pro-choice but really aren't. You only believe in the Pro-abortion choice, or you would be celebrating this ad which celebrates the choice of life that Pam Tebow's mother chose to have her son despite the odds. You are the ones who put a price on lives and only want the perfect humans to be born. That is heading down a dangerous slippery slope to that much like Hitler entered. You ARE A PRO-DEATH HIPOCRITE WHO IS AGAINST LIFE and that is the REALITY. FACE THE FACTS-- UNBORN BABIES ARE HUMAN BEINGS!!!!!
This is the TRUTH: ABORTION IS MURDER PARTS 1 and 2

http://teresamerica.blogspot.com/2010/01/remembering-march-for-life-abortion-is.html
If you have any logic, rationality, truth, tolerance, or the American spirit of democracy you will stop being a closed-minded person and see this posts that show the REALITY of ABORTION BEING MURDER. If not, then I feel sorry for an authoritarian FASCIST, immoral person who can't accept other people's choices who value life even though you clearly DON'T VALUE LIFE ONE IOTA and ACCEPT THE REALITY THAT ABORTION IS MURDER!!!!!
Arthur,
YOUR COMMENTS WERE FILLED WITH HATEFUL RHETORIC AND ACCUSATORY FROM THE VERY BEGINNING AND YOUR LAST STATEMENTS HAVE SPAWNED INTO EVEN WORSE HATEFUL RHETORIC AND ARE PATENTLY FALSE. I FEEL SORRY FOR YOU LIBERALS WHO DO NOT STICK UP FOR ALL INNOCENT HUMAN BEINGS. IT IS CLEAR THAT DEMONS HAVE POSSESSED YOUR BODY AND TAKEN IT OVER SO YOU ADVOCATE FOR THE MURDER OF INNOCENT HUMAN BEINGS IN THE WOMB, ADVOCATE FOR EVIL ON SO MANY LEVELS AND LOVE AND ADVOCATE FOR TERRORISTS AND THEIR SO-CALLED RIGHTS MORE THAN INNOCENT AMERICANS. YOU ARE THE SELFISH BASTAGES THAT ADVOCATE FOR & COUNT ON ENTITLEMENT PROGRAMS AND STEAL FROM THE REST OF US JUST SO YOU AND MANY OTHERS CAN GO ON BEING LAZY. YOU HAVE CREATED THE GENERATIONS OF DEPENDENCY INSTEAD OF ADVOCATING FOR SELF-RELIANCE.
YOU ARE NO LONGER ALLOWED TO SPEW YOU PATENTLY FALSEHOODS HERE AND SPEW YOUR GARBAGE WHICH IS FULL OF DEMONIC HATRED. YOU ARE NO LONGER WELCOME TO COMMENT ON MY BLOG UNLESS YOU ACTUALLY CRITICIZE IN A MEANINGFUL WAY INSTEAD OF SPEWING AD HOMINEMS.
Don't worry. I'm done with you. As I said in the very beginning, there's no point in arguing with an extremist. You're no different than the crazy Muslims who believe everyone should live the way they dictate. No difference whatsoever. From your words here though, I believe you belong in a mental hospital. But you are too self-righteous to ever believe you need help. Good luck in "getting your way." It'll be a long, lonely fight. Bye bye, sweetie. Enjoy the Tebow spot today; I'm sure it will be very inspiring.
Arthur,
You are the ones who marginalize and don't allow any sort of dissent whatsoever. Your labeling me and other pro-lifers as "extremists" proves that. I called you out on exactly what you are: a pro-death, immoral man that would impose your lack of morals and views on others and promote the death of harmless and innocent unborn human beings. We pro-lifers promote reality and you promote lies and one of the biggest mass murders in history. You are so much like Hitler its really uncanny. I am a patriot who fights against evil and terrorism. But, you are the ones who advocate for sharia laws and promote political correctness that causes or allows for murders. You can circulate the LIES in your mind and spew them outwardly, but I am dispelling the lies that you and the LEFT spews and how you take advantage of the innocent humans. You are the ones who advocate for evil. You promote for the equality of terrorists. The conservatives fight against terrorism and believe in a strong defense, while promoting all that is necessary to keep these terrorists from entering on U.S. soil. You freaking pansies are the ones kowtowing and aiding the terrorists and giving terrorists more rights than unborn babies. You are a bunch of hypocrites. You are the fascists. You and other liberals are LEFT WING EXTREMISTS. You have proven that you allow no form of dissent. You only allow your left wing rhetoric to be spewed, entrap, and mislead others astray from the TRUTH. The TRUTH is that ABORTION IS MURDER.
I will enjoy the Tebow ad. I am not going to let you ruin that for me. You Libs are the ruination of this country and it is our patriotic duty to stand up to you people who spew anti-American garbage and stop you from spreading lies to future generations.
Here's what I learned from your replies to Arthur:
libs pro death libs pro death libs pro death libs pro death libs pro death libs pro death libs pro death libs pro death libs pro death libs pro death libs pro death libs pro death libs pro death libs pro death libs pro death libs pro death libs pro death libs pro death libs pro death libs pro death libs pro death libs pro death.
Do you have any other ideas, or is that it?
"We pro-lifers promote reality and you promote lies and one of the biggest mass murders in history. You are so much like Hitler its really uncanny. I am a patriot who fights against evil and terrorism."
You know, there's nothing wrong with you that five or six days a week of pyschotherapy over a period of two or three decades wouldn't cure.
Hey, I've got a new user ID for you. How about "Fruity Nutcake"? Doesn't that just fit you just perfectly? From now on, I think I'll refer to you to my friends as "Fruity Nutcake the Tim Tebow Lover." Isn't that cute? I think so.
You are just so funny with your "unborn baby" rants and "murder of innocent babies in the womb" jive and your naughty "freaking pansies" taunts and your mixed up scrambled up Tea Bag talking points and your drooling, barely coherent attacks on the "evil liberals" who are the cause of all your frustration. You're really rather hilarious in your own sad way. Maybe you should become a stand up comedian where you could deliver all your foaming at the mouth rage in ironic humor. Do you think you could understand irony enough to make up something creative for the stage? I wonder. Probably not. But you're still kind of goofy enough to make some kind of splash. Maybe you could go on Faux News and write on a big blackboard all your theories about the big bad liberals and the Hitler-like baby killers. You could have a career as a kind of "even-more-insane-than-Glenn-Beck" character. That's it! I'd really like to see that. You're funny.
George,
I spoke or wrote the truth. Arthur did not make one valid point. He ONLY spewed HATRED and LIES. Being gainst this ad when you haven't even seen it is ridiculous. This is an ad to celebrate the life of Tim Tebow. If you are against this ad then you are effectively not celebrating Tim Tebow's wonderful Life and giving the impression that Tim should never have been born. I would call being against an ad that celebrates the life of Tim Tebow being Anti-Life. I wonder how many other innocent unborn babies who could have been grown up to be great quarterbacks or scientists that could have come up with cures to diseases were aborted?
Gee... Your words took a lot of thought, George. NOT!! If you only had a brain...
You know, I was wondering about something. Do you think that we should just kill all liberals (or "libs," in your words)? I mean, they're not fetuses, so do you think it would be all right to kill them? If they are as evil as you say, shouldn't they just all be slaughtered? They grew up and made some terrible choices that, I guess according to you, are ruining the world. So isn't genocide justified? What do you think?
Jackie,
You may be promoting evil and immorality but I will never promote the murder of innocents like you do with the unborn.
2 wrongs don't make a right.
James,
You want to start a promotion campaign so I can work for FOX NEWS? It is the most fair & balanced news channel.
I mean the other "news Channels" like PMSNBC, CNN and the All Barack Channel like to kiss Obama's butt and one commentator likes to have tingles up his leg.
Instead of murdering every "born" liberal (as opposed to "unborn" "babies"), which I believe, going by your posts here, is what you would like to see, what if we just rounded them up and put them in concentration camps with no freedoms and no ability to affect social policy? (Kind of like "District 9.") Would you be for that? It's humane, isn't it? Then all the unborn "babies" (as you call them) could grow up and be free to do whatever they want! Yay! It's a plan!
Jackie,
I never stated or implied in the slightest manner at all, that I wanted to do any harm to liberals. That is beyond absurd. But, you are infected with the disease of liberalism which lacks any thought process at all. You are the people advocating the murder of innocent human beings. NOT ME. How about sending you liberals to a mental institution for the criminally insane? Have fun diluting yourself with lies.
