Update: The pro-life message is wonderful, but I’m hoping the Tim Tebow Super Bowl ad somehow smuggles in the Gospel. CBS wouldn’t allow it, of course, but perhaps some of his testimony comes through.

Great day in the morning! I can hardly believe my eyes. The New York Times calls pro-abortion groups’ shrieking about a pro-life ad featuring Tim Tebow and his mother “puzzling and dismaying.”
Last week I blogged about Heisman trophy-winning QB Tim Tebow (lives!), whose mother chose to give him a chance to live, despite her doctor’s advice to abort him. Tim and his mother will appear in the Super Bowl ad on Sunday, and pro-abortion groups and individuals are crying foul.
NYT even criticized the Women’s Media Center for sending CBS an hysterical letter that was “a lame attempt to portray the ad as life-threatening.” NYT rightly calls the so-called pro-choice movement on its hypocrisy. Instead of protesting, these groups should welcome the ad as an illustration of what they stand for: the right to choose. Tim Tebow’s mother chose life for her unborn son. Other women have chosen to kill theirs. Almighty choice rears its head!
But pro-abortion groups call the pro-life’s head ugly.
Phonies, every last one of them.
“CBS was right to change its policy of rejecting paid advocacy commercials from groups other than political candidates. After the network screens ads for accuracy and taste, viewers can watch and judge for themselves. Or they can get up from the couch and get a sandwich.”
