Tebow Super Bowl Comericial Controversy


Heisman Trophy-winning Florida quarterback Tim Tebow and his mother Pam are set to star in a commercial airing during the Super Bowl that is already causing controversy. The commercial, funded by the pro-life group “Focus on the Family” is reportedly an anti-abortion ad that tells the story of how Pam Tebow became ill during her pregnancy with son Tim. She was advised to terminate her pregnancy but refused. Pro-Choice groups including The Women's Media Center are calling for CBS not to air the ad, but so far the network plans to air the commercial as planned. The President of the National Organization for Women, Terry O'Neill, has stated the commercial is "not being respectful of other people's lives."

Today we asked our panel if they feel CBS is correct in their decision to the air the Tebow commercial and if they believe pro-choice groups have a reason to be angered. After reading their opinions, join the conversation by leaving a comment.
