“I’ve always been very convicted of it...”

I did not know the young man was saved. Plus he has all that talent? I hope my Seahawks pick him up in the draft.

I wonder why the pro-aborts are so afraid?

The only thing that should matter to CBS is if the group has paid the fee/advertising charge and if the ad is within FCC guidelines. The message itself is and should be irrelevent to CBS. If you don’t like the message, don’t watch!

Pretty soon, libs will say conservatives shouldn’t be able to run their political ads during election season because they “divide”. Garbage.

Shortly after posting this letter to CBS other liberal groups wrote letters of protest to the network and the NFL that the Super Bowl gave an unfair sense of self-esteem to the winning city and depression to the losing city.

They demanded the game be able to result in a tie, flag football rules instead of tackle and everyone who came out for the team would be allowed on the field for one play so they could receive their participation trophies.

‘’That’s not being respectful of other people’s lives,’’ O’Neill said. ‘’It is offensive to hold one way out as being a superior way over everybody else’s.’’

IOW, don’t try to condemn me. Lol! Celebrating life is a indictment of the pro death camp and they can’t handle it.

After getting sick during a mission trip to the Philippines, she ignored a recommendation by doctors to abort her fifth child and gave birth to Tim, who went on to win the 2007 Heisman Trophy while helping his Florida team to two BCS championships.

If this true story doesn't bring a tear to your eye something is wrong with you.

Clearly Mrs. Tebow has committed a couple serious sins. She has had more than one child. She has remained married to her husband of all her children. She didn't have an abortion when doctors suggested it. /sarc.

I guess I've been born to the wrong generation. I can remember when we would rejoice at this type of a Christian witness.

Since when was the Superbowl designed to bring people together. LMAO

It shows how out of touch liberals are with normal people!

Let's all hold hands and agree on which team we want to win. /s

They are offended by everything. They have forced studios to edit old shows and movies before selling them to us on DVD.

They are nuts. Absolute wackos.

I’m not surprised that this is happening. Last year groups tried to put a different pro-life commercial on (basically saying that had Obama been conceived after 1973 he probably would have been killed) and that got yanked.

It’s rather ironic when you think about it, last year and this year are the ONLY years since the early 1970s when Super Bowl commercials weren’t sold out months in advance and here we see networks wanting to turn down millions of dollars because they don’t like the fact that the Tebows are devout Christians.

Isn’t having a baby one of the choices these “pro-choice” feminists are allowed to support? /s

This women’s group wishes he’d never been born.

An inconvenient truth.

The ad is not going to get pulled...CBS needs any and all revenue during this garbage economy.


I would guess that CBS charged FOTF a premium to run the ad (since it was “controversial”.) That means if they pull it they will have to replace it with a lower priced ad (if they can find another advertiser—word is a lot of companies have backed away from spending big-bucks on the superbowl this year because of the economy).

sidenote: considering who has finally made it to the playoffs, does make you wonder about whether or not the NFL has gone the way of jai-alai... kind of like the pats in 2001 after 9-11

I don't know a thing about jai-alai, but I compared the NFL to WWE & NASCAR after Sunday's game.

1) How can a group trying to censor a Mom's story call itself pro-women?

2) Will CBS listen to a bunch of leftie dykes who would be watching the Puppy Bowl anyway?
