The Tebow Ad
Steven Ertelt at LifeNews has the Tebow ad from Focus on the Family. It's funny when you watch it, you can't believe how crazy the pro-aborts got over it.

There are two ads. This is for the pregame only.
Although I haven't seen the second ad, yet, I understand it is about Pam Tebow's CHOICE not to have an abortion when she was pregnant for Tim. I guess according to the pro-abort crowd this is not an acceptable choice. Just mention of the word life is enough to send them into Linda Blair head spins.
That's it?!? What's all the hullabaloo? Geez...
Very nice ad, but hardly controversial.
If this was the ad that got them so riled...well, wow. Although I think it may not have been just Pat's message, but the link to the full story that they didn't want people to see. Because you don't want people getting all curious about Pat Tebow's choice if you're from NOW, PP, or NARAL.
I saw this ad during the first quarter of the game. Really? What is the deal with these people? But, it sure makes all those NOW, PP and NARAL people look like idiots for reacting the way they did.
I am grateful that NOW, PP, and NARAL reacted violently to the Tebow ads because it generated controversy. It made people curious as to what the ads would be. If it weren't for the controversy, the ads might have gone unnoticed.
This ad is simple and perfect. I am laughing my head off over NOW, PP, and NARAL getting all riled over it. Their making it into some huge controversy ended up showing their true colors.
I have to admit I was a little disappointed in the ad... I was looking for America to experience something really touching and thoughtful, and it was just some cheerful fluff that pointed you to the FOTF website.
I can't wait to see how the pro-aborts try to recover from their disgraceful protest of this commercial. Nothing offensive at all.
I agree with Maurisa. Simple and perfect. And beautiful, in every way. I guess I'm feeling sadness that the people who protested so strongly are so threatened, and in turn, threaten others. That is truly sad and not at all the God that I know.
They're now getting all worked up over the idea that the ad glorified domestic violence by making light of such things with the tackle.
Funny?
I don't think being scammed as to the content of the ads is all that funny. These ads were NOT what was represented by Focus on the Family and the Tebows. There was nothing particularly pro-life about them. They promoted Tim Tebow and that's it. Nothing about choosing not to abort him, nothing about choosing life.
Oh my GOSH!!!! She, she, she.... didn't mention abortion at all. Maybe the 2nd ad talks about it... I guess the phrase "celebrate life" must be herently dangerous.
I think they had a brain. They wanted the thing aired and they knew that if they mentioned abortion, it would get canned. Let's be somewhat realistic. The battle is not won - it's just in the forefront. There could not have been a more engaging, winsome way to invite people to listen to a story.
Huh, not much of an ad. I'm glad they aired it, I'm glad the pro-aborts made such a fuss, but shesh, I was expecting some part of the story.
I admit though, I thought the tackle of his mom and her response that he's not nearly as tough as she is was very cute.
I saw the ad during the game. I couldn't believe all the hype about it! I also expect there to be plenty of naysayers on the anti-abortion side. You know, "What no mention of Pat's poor diagnosis and abortion referral?" "No mention of abortion at all." But this ad was smart, sweet, and kind. My mother, who knows nothing of the Tebows and is pro-choice, thought "he must have been a premature baby." But even that's a beginning. All the pro-abortion bruhaha just stirred up controversy. It just shows how hateful Planned Parenthood and their ilk are....

Can't wait to hear the backpeddeling from the pro-aborts, but we'll probably only hear crickets.
Pro-aborts aren't the only ones who look silly, they aren't the only ones who got all stirred up. Pro-lifers were manipulated into getting stirred up as well, into defending an ad that did not exist in the form that it was represented to be.
Fraud is not the way to advance the pro-life cause.
I was disappointed in the ads themselves, but they told the story a billion times in the rest of the msm, so I guess that was the point? I actually like the pre-game one better; the game-time one was so vague and ambiguous and a little over the top w/the tackle. Just my $.02, but I'm glad it brought the pro-aborts to the surface, so we could see them for what they really are.
Doesn't God have a great sense of humor? 500,000 people show up in D.C. for the March for Life and we get little to no coverage. Focus wants to put on a benign ad celebrating a mother's decision (choice) to have her baby and the pro-abort "femi-nazi" types go ballistic.
And the icing on the cake - the Google ad, the Dove men care advertisement and the Doritos advertisement with the little boy all had pro-life implications.
I thought the ad was a total failure, sorry to say. Talked about it on my blog today.
