I have heard some organizations complain that the big message it sends is to not follow your doctor's medical advice (if her sketchy story is to be believed!!). A risky proposition for CBS I would think.

I don't have any problem with the Tim Tebow Focus on the Family ad at all, and I'm definitively pro-choice. What I have a problem with is a network declaring that it is apolitical, when that's clearly not the case.

I don't get that the only choice is" her" choice for all. I get that she is stating what she chose to do was right for her. People get so fired up over nothing. Its not like a commercial can force you to do anything against your will

but if Focus on the Family has their way, there would be ZERO choice ... don't you get that? Tebow's mother's choice is being exploited to promote a political agenda ... it's just so sad that this woman is so gullible.

BUT I can think for myself and I do believe in freedom of speech first AND foremost. Oh and I am very PRO choice but am not offended in the least by the commercials.

When this organization goes to the expense of paying for an ad during the Super Bowl, you have to ask yourself, why? The gist of the ad is obviously pro-life, yet the primary audience is men. Wouldn't you think they would choose a venue where the audience would be more women? If the opposition is deemed to be from the left, it's only because pro-choice is more related to the left.

These ads were so watered down, it would be hard to figure out what the message was if you knew nothing about them. They obviously underwent major changes before airing.

The message is obvious to "choose" and "celebrate" life.

Shouldn't the Left be happy about her "choice"?
