That's a good point, D4T.

Mrs. Tebow made a really tough choice - going against the advice of some of her doctors and all. You'd think "Pro-Choice" women would be supporting her and her freedom to choose.

Re: Focus on the Family Superbowl Ad

I didn't see the ad, but I've read the news and "controversy" before it aired and people were able to see it.

Funny thing is that some woman's group (NOW or some other) was interviewed after the ad aired and the only thing they could complain about was that it incites violence against women because it showed Tebow tackling his mother!

Re: Focus on the Family Superbowl Ad

good short article here:
http://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/blog/shu...urn=nfl,218119




The add wasnt exactly what I thot it would be, but after watching it, I think F0TF were wise in what they did do. It seems the anti-F0TF'ers helped pre-advertise the add for them, expecting it to be an offensive add against abortion. But it was not that at all. I believe it was just enough, to change the history of SB adds, to also lure in some of the curious to the Tebow's testimony, and as well introduce some to ministries and testimonies, that are "within" Focus on the Family.

Re: Focus on the Family Superbowl Ad

I thought the ad was a waste of $3mil. I didn't' "get" it. Nice though, but if you didn't know what it was about, you would have been pretty clueless.

That's what I thought about it. It wasn't a great ad.

No, the only "choice" the "Pro-Choice" folks support is the choice to kill the unborn child.

We also saw that when the Women's Groups and the Pro-Choice folks so viciously attacked Sarah Palin for her choice to keep her baby. She had made a choice but it wasn't the only choice they promote.

Really shows their hypocrisy and their evil agenda.
