I was just reading in our local paper about a "controversial" ad that will be airing during the Super Bowl. Seeing as I live under a rock when it comes to pretty much all sports I googled for more information.
CBS (yes, I had to correct my typo as I typed CVS first:giggles will air an ad from Focus on Family featuring Heisman Trophy winner Tim Tebow and his mom. Long story short, when she was pregnant with him she became ill and doctors suggested an abortion. She refused. Gloria Allred and other feminist groups are all up in arms about this saying it's intruding on a game that's supposed to unite the country, not divide it. :surrender:
Here's a few links to the story:

I'm including the second one because even though it has a spin against the ad, it does include an update at the bottom that discredits Allred's claim.
Not surprising to anyone who's read some of my previous posts, I think it's great that this young athlete is willing to take a stand on a controversial issue and I'm glad that CBS (****, typed CVS again) is airing it.
