Heisman Trophy winner Tim Tebow and his mother will appear in a Super Bowl commercial on CBS that makes a clear pro-life statement. It’s a remarkable coalition,<\/font><\/font><\/span> and progressives are in a tizzy. <\/font>The ad purportedly tells the story of Tebow’s mother who ignored a recommendation by doctors to abort her fifth child and gave birth to Tim. Now a national coalition of women’s groups are calling on CBS to do a “booth review” and overturn their decision to run the anti-abortion message which is sponsored by Focus on the Family. <\/font><\/font><\/p>\n

Kudos to CBS for having the courage to accept FOF’s check! May God bless the message and may even one person contemplating an abortion pause to wonder… “What if…? <\/font><\/p>\n

And for those who have chosen to end pregnancies, offer grace and forgiveness and hope for the future. God is pro-life. He is also pro-grace…<\/font><\/p>\n

“God, you create life. You alone have the right to decide human existence. Our bodies do not belong to us; the bodies of another person do not belong to us. You are God. We ask that you preserve life and that you use this message from the Tibows to build conviction and spark hope in this country for a new value of the sacredness of life. For those who have chosen abortion, offer hope of redemption and restoration. In Jesus…” <\/strong><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
