CBS Needs to Hear YOUR Voice in Support of Tebow Super Bowl Ad

Pro-abortion groups have launched a massive campaign to stop CBS from airing a pro-life Super Bowl ad featuring Heisman Trophy Winner Tim Tebow and his mother, who decided (against the advice of her doctors) to continue with her pregnancy and give birth to the college football star and Heisman Trophy winner. Together, let's tell CBS that we believe in the sanctity of life and support the Tebow ad.

In the past few days alone, pro-abortion groups have generated over 120,000 letters to CBS, NFL and Super Bowl advertising executives, asking that they scrap the ad. Other pro-abortion organizations have generated 1000's more.

In response, a petition was launched by CatholicVote.org whereby pro-lifers can express support to CBS for its decision to air the ad, and exhort the network not to cave to pressure to drop the ad.

The Focus on the Family ad is expected to feature the story of how Tebow's mother refused to abort him despite being advised to do so by physicians for health reasons. Pam Tebow eventually gave birth to a perfectly healthy baby, who has gone on to become one of the most-recognized sports stars in America.

Despite its hopeful message, the ad has infuriated pro-abortion forces, who argue that it is tantamount to revoking women's so called "right to choose." On Wednesday (Jan. 27), a number of pro-abortion groups launched an all-out campaign to pressure CBS into canceling the ad.

In a press release, Fr. Frank Pavone of Priests for Life commented on the war over the ad. "Why should it bother people who call themselves pro-CHOICE if women watch Pam Tebow and her son Tom on Super Bowl Sunday and freely decide to choose life? Would fewer abortions be a bad thing?" he asked.

"As for the argument that the ad should not be shown because it is divisive, since when do we broadcast only things on which the American people all agree? In that case, the Super Bowl itself could not be broadcast."

It's up to us, the pro-life people of this country, to defend the Tebow's and LIFE and help ensure that their story is told. With your help, the pro-abortion supporters will not silence THIS voice!
