Tebow Super Bowl Commericial Controversy: Roseanne Frangione

I see nothing wrong with CBS airing a pro-life commercial during Super Bowl. Why wouldn't they? I do not find anything particularly controversial about a mother relaying the story of how her difficult pregnancy produced a star athlete. It seems appropriate to air the ad during the Super Bowl since Tim Tebow is certainly bound for the NFL.

If pro-choice groups aren't happy about it, they should make their own commercial and fork over the cash that CBS charges to air ads during the Super Bowl. CBS has no obligation to show both sides of the issue, and neither does Focus on The Family. Just as I have yet to see a commercial for Coca Cola that ended with “but Pepsi is just as good,” Focus on The Family has no reason, nor should they, offer a different point of view than what they are paying to air.

Just exactly what would a pro-choice commercial look like? Images of happy women saying, “I'm so glad I got rid of that fetus before I had to support it” or perhaps a clinical look at how safe and uncomplicated it is to destroy a human life? However, if such an ad were to be made, CBS would probably air it just as long they get paid.
