apparently some women groups are trying to block the upcoming commercial for the superbowl in which Tim Tebo the highly touted quarterback from Florida says how glad he is that his mother didn't take the doctors advice and have an abortion.....I'll bet almost everyone associated with Florida University feels the same way.....with all the current issues in america and abroad, you'd think these putz's would focus their attentions elsewhere.....

No big loss to humanity if there's one less. 2ndly, to say it's a plus for him to have not been aborted shows a lack of critial thinking. An example: suppose because he was born, at some time in his life he caused a chain of events which ended in an accident that killed someone. Further, suppose that person killed would've, if he or she lived, found a cure for cancer. Of course there's nearly an infinite number of possible scenerios, both positive and negative, which could've happened because he was born or could've happened if he wasn't. There's just not enough information to say which is better for humanity. |

Why don't they just combat it with their own commercial?

good point, they can run their own commercial, as to the person who feels humanity is best served by some abortions due to what may or may not happen later in life, to each their own....It's not even worth the debate.

no I didn't misunderstand anything, you're a person who lives in a black and white world or would like to without grey areas, you want life and its course to be predictable, it just isn't gonna happen and thank God, how boring would that be.....anyhow like I said, to each their own, this isn't about abortion per say, but about a man who takes pride in the fact that his Mother went against the odds and he appreciates the opportunity to continue to show her she made the right CHOICE, and what's wrong with him expressing that.....Nothing

What I wrote was completely grey. There was no definitive "this is good this is bad" statements. You're just p.o. because I didn't support your premise. |

This is an article about the ad http://www.cbssports.com/nfl/story/12897411/super-bowl-ad-with-tebow-mother-lighthearted-in-tone
But listen to what this moron had to say about it: The Women's Media Center, which had objected to Focus on the Family advertising in the Super Bowl, said it was expecting a "benign" ad but not the humor. But the group's president, Jehmu Greene, said the tackle showed an undercurrent of violence against women. "I think they're attempting to use humor as another tactic of hiding their message and fooling the American people," she said. "violence against women" LMAO I guess she is afraid they will "fool" women into NOT having abortions. Give me a break. |

I wasn't impressed with the ad one way or the other. Sounded more like "rah-rah for my son" then a anti-choice ad.
However, it was mentioned that it now opens up the field to equally showing a pro-choice ad, which is true. I thought the tackling part of the scene was asinine, but I thought the same seeing it with Betty White. It might have been different as kids playing around, and mom was definitely good for football games with us as kids, but if we did that for any reason other then to protect her life, she'd nail our ears to the wall. I can see the abuse issue with it. But then I can't say as I wrestle with guys anymore because they don't know when to stop, and it steps over into the serious. |

The Super Bowl will give equal advertising time to whoever wants to pony up the cash. As for the ad depicting violence against women - I guess you can choose to take anything out of context. The woman that made that comparison, I would liken to PETA: an organization with some legitimate concerns over animals that turn around and make themselves look foolish by asking Punxsutawny to use a robot groundhog. Stick to relevant issues, for God's sake. |

But since one doesn't really know each person's history offhand, one shouldn't reject the comments offhand. And while I will say when PETA was first established, I think they did really good will getting attention out and things fixed. Now, however, their nucking futs out of their minds! |

Like I said, I've been in the position when it went from a joke like that to far more serious and he didn't respect No and Stop. |
