Tim Tebow and the Pro-Life Super Bowl Ad

Again, thanks Ms Tebow for giving us your son, Tim.

Tim Tebow's pro-life superbowl ad has become the centerpiece of debate for the pro-life and pro-choice advocates for the present. The Tim Tebow superbowl ad is programed to air during the Colt- Saints 2010 Super Bowl. The Tim Tebow ad was produced and financed by Focus on the Family, the world know Christian and pro-life organization. The ad will feature Tim Tebow of Heisman and University of Florida fame and his mother, with a pro-life message. As a result good or bad, the abortion debate continues on to the point of redundancy and the Super Bowl weekend will not only be filled with flying footballs and carryout pizza, but mingled in between the pom-poms and striped suit referees will be the reminder that the abortion issue is still alive and definitely not dead.
From the discussions and debates on the national talk shows, like Larry King Live, Fox, CNN and all the major networks, it appears that the only ones to have reviewed the ad has been the Super Bowl network, CBS, and the big brass at Focus on the Family. The ad, as understood, is a pro-life message. The ad comments on the decision Tim Tebow's mother made in the late eighties to go forward with Tim Tebow's birth, despite warnings from Ms Tebow's doctors during her pregnancy that she and her fetus son, Tim Tebow, would be subject to life threatening consequences if she continued with the pregnancy.

Obviously, Ms Tebow, was willing to take on a significant risk for herself and her un-born son. And as as a result of her faith to continue with the pregnancy, we have all prospered by enjoying the exciting and inspirational college career of Tim Tebow, one of the best college players in the history of the game. Suffice it to say, and regardless what your position on abortion, Ms Tebow's courage and faith to continue with the pregnancy of her son, Tim Tebow, is worthy of applause.
Abortion is a complicated legal and moral issue. It is hard to be neutral and really address the issue. It may appear that the pro-life supporters are callous and insensitive to a desperate and confused young girl faced with the overwhelming decision to give birth and have to deal with a life long burden of an unwanted child. The burden of the decision is compounded many times over if the pregnancy is the result of rape or incest. If you are pro-life and believe that life begins at conception there is really no room to compromise. And the issue of when life begins is really the issue that divides.
Maybe the best way to deal with the issue is to offer compassion on both sides and what makes it so difficult is that there is possibly an unborn human child that can not be ignored in this most difficult decision.
