Pro-abortion groups are trying to censor a TV ad, to be run during the Super Bowl, featuring football star Tim Tebow. Tebow’s mother chose life for her son, despite pressure from doctors to abort him. Here’s Tim Tebow’s response to the controversy, as reported by LifeNews.com :
“I know some people won’t agree with it, but I think they can at least respect that I stand up for what I believe,” Tebow said. “I’ve always been very convicted of it (his views on abortion) because that’s the reason I’m here, because my mom was a very courageous woman. So any way that I could help, I would do it.”
And here’s the response from the producer of the ad, Focus on the Family, in the LifeNews.com report :
Gary Schneeberger, a spokesman for Focus on the Family, told AP that officials with the pro-life group “were a little surprised” by the opposition to the life-affirming ad.
“There’s nothing political and controversial about it,” he said. “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.”
