Super Bowl abortion ad
Anyone in the US who is at all interested in football has probably heard about the Focus on the Family anti-abortion ad starring Tim Tebow and his mother that is set to air during the Super Bowl. What hasn't been so well-publicized is the family interest in prosletyzing<
What is the end? It's not just stopping abortions. Tebow wants to convert people, like his father does in Muslim areas of the Philippines. Until now, he's been subtle in his outreach, pushing his message gently, painting "PHIL 4:13" and "JOHN 3:16" and "MARK 8:36" in his eye black—an ingenious touch that prods even the most degenerate couch potato into Googling Bible verses out of curiosity. This Super Bowl commercial represents a new strategy for Tebow Inc.—one that's more confrontational and also much more in keeping with the family's ultraconservative roots.

Also, many women with placental abruptions like Mrs. Tebow's aren't quite so lucky. (One of my cousins had an abruption and almost died.)
