Title: Tim Tebow Superbowl Ad
Post by: Phillysoul11 on January 28, 2010, 03:51:07 AM
I'm sure some of you have heard of this by now.

QuotePaid for by the conservative Christian group Focus on the Family, the ad tells the story of Bob and Pam Tebow, who was pregnant with their fifth child when the couple travelled to the Philippines on a missionary trip.
While there, Pam contracted amoebic dysentery and the medicines used for her recovery threatened her unborn fetus. Doctors advised her to abort the fetus. Pam ignored their advice and gave birth on Aug. 14, 1987, to a baby boy. That boy was Tim Tebow. [...] "This ad is frankly offensive, " said Erin Matson, the Action Vice President of the National Organization for Women, speaking of the Tebow commercial. "It is hate masquerading as love. It sends a message that abortion is always a mistake."

Feel free to post links with better coverage of the situation.

Regardless of your position on the abortion, i'm curious as to whether or not you think this should air. Free speech or inappropriate advertising?
