While the most popular point of debate regarding this year's NFL draft will be how Florida star quarterback Tim Tebow projects for pro football, come Sunday, Feb. 7, Tebow will already be on the Super Bowl telecast. That's because Tebow and a faith group, Focus on the Family, will be debuting a 30-second commercial that utilizes Tebow's own life story to make the case that abortion is wrong.

What is so hard to believe? They are paying the piper to push their message to the largest viewing audience in the world during the most watched event in the history of television just like every other business that chooses to pay the exhorbant price of the ultimate prime-time advertisement. The main exception, of course, is that unlike most of the other businesses and organizations that will advertise, they are pushing a life choice instead of a material product.

Or is the reason this is unbelievable to you is that you would expect a group like FOTF to find a lesser market? And who is "they"? You must be referring to the sponsers. Money talks, and $2.5 mil for a 30 second slot has a big mouth! With a poster boy like Tebow, this is FOTF's finest opportunity.

I might not necessarily agree with their message, but I cannot blame their choice of venue to spread their message.

Whatever the reason, may God's Word be proclaimed from the rooftops!! Praise God for this amazing and lifechanging opportunity. Life is precious and to take a life is sin.

Since the topic of this thread is obvious, I don't mind...

My wife and I had this conversation recently; we proceed to prosecute anyone who takes the life of an abortion doctor because murder is wrong - but murder is exactly what the doctor is guilty of.

(Of course, the OT God (who does not change!!!!!!!) would have the doctor taken to the middle of the town and stoned.)

Now, suppose an army of Christians (thousands or tens of thousands) took out a holy war on doctors who had killed the innocent - and did not deny what they had done - what would the courts and society say?

PS. I don't go anywhere near clinics.
