Tim Tebow’s mom didn’t get an abortion so no woman should have choice – a Super Bowl Special
January 17, 2010 by William K. Wolfrum
While the team’s are still undecided, this Super Bowl XLIV promises to be a truly spectacular event where all Americans can come together and be thankful – for the fact that Tim Tebow’s mom didn’t abort him.
From the Denver Post:
Focus on the Family will air a 30-second “life- and family-affirming” television spot, featuring University of Florida star quarterback Tim Tebow and his mother, Pam, during the coverage.
The Colorado Springs-based media ministry shot the ad with the Tebows on Tuesday in Orlando, Focus spokesman Gary Schneeberger said Friday. It is set to air before and again during the CBS broadcast of the football championship from Dolphin Stadium near Miami.
Tebow and his mother will share one of their many positive personal stories, Schneeberger said, but he wouldn’t reveal which one. One contender is Pam Tebow’s decision to carry her son to term despite a life-threatening pregnancy in the Philippines, where she and her husband, Bob, were serving as Christian missionaries.
The 2007 Heisman Trophy winner, also known for being home-schooled, winning an NCAA championship and wearing Bible-verse citations inscribed on his game-day eye black, agreed to appear in the ad because the issue of life is one he and his family feel strongly about, Schneeberger said.
The Super Bowl – the perfect place for James Dobson to pursue his theocratic vision of a U.S. where the federal government takes away a woman’s right to have control over her own body.
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. Brought to you by the exact same people who freaked the hell out when Janet Jackson’s nipple made a partial appearance. You judge which is more offensive and which really matters.

“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.”
A commercial that will be lapped up by the masses who celebrate a 17-year-old single mother as a promoter of abstinence & an anti-choice right-winger who accepted 100 grand to appear on a magazine cover with her prop daughter, prop baby & prop grandson behind a headline about “choosing” life.
Ha. Speaking for something is okay in this country as long as it is a liberal choice! Otherwise we’re condemning the world…? Seriously?
I have yet to see the commercial since it hasn’t aired. Are you quoting Tebow’s mom, paraphrasing to support your platform, or just lashing out at someone whose beliefs are different than your own?
The cool thing about most Christians is that we say what we think is wrong…not that we think others should or shouldn’t comply. Our primary goals are to 1-talk about what God has done in our lives (lives just like everyone else…Christians and non-christians–all sinners). 2-explain our understanding of God’s love to others 3-encourage others to learn God’s truths for themselves.
I hope that the message the Tebow’s are conveyng is that others can choose not to abort their babies and that they encourage them to consider other options. I’ll be very surprised if the message is “don’t abort or you’re a sinner”….what the Tebows and Focus on the Family already know is that we’re all sinners anyway. Some of us just know it, seek and receive forgiveness for it…and try to do better.
Just another right-wing sinner here amazed that everyone gets so uptight over free speech in a country that has bought and paid for that right over and over again!
