GAINESVILLE, Fla. Tim Tebow is taking his star power to sport's biggest stage.
The former Florida quarterback and his mother will appear in a 30-second commercial during the Super Bowl next month. The Christian group Focus on the Family says the Tebows will share a personal story centering on the theme "Celebrate Family, Celebrate Life."
The group isn't releasing details, but the commercial is likely to be an anti-abortion message chronicling Pam Tebow's 1987 pregnancy. 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.
The 2007 Heisman Trophy winner ended his college career with several NCAA, Southeastern Conference and school records, and two national championships. Tebow also has been very involved in his family's Christian-based ministry.
Jim Daly, president and CEO of Focus on the Family, said the commercial comes at a time when "families need to be inspired."
"Tim and Pam share our respect for life and our passion for helping families thrive," Daly said. "Focus on the Family is about ... strengthening families by empowering them with the tools they need to live lives rooted in morals and values."
Thirty-second commercials during the Super Bowl are selling for between $2.5 million and $2.8 million. Daly said all the funds for the ad came from a handful of "very generous and committed friends," and that no money from the group's general fund was used.
"Now that the ad has been shot, we're excited to tell people it's coming because the Tebows' story is such an important one for our culture to hear," he said. "You won't want to miss it."
Pretty amazing story. I never knew. Good for the Tebow family.

A life is a life. Seems kinda strange to say "Hey don't abort because I'm a great QB and could have been aborted". He's no more special than anyone else that was aborted or could have been aborted IMO.

I think they feel he is a good example of what you miss out on when you kill a baby.
They picked him because people know who he is so it makes since.
It would be good however to include stories of regular people also. One of my nephews was born with only 1 working kidney. My sister was told early on and that doctor said you may want to consider and abortion.
She went to a different doc and my nephew is healthy and doing well now 15 yrs later.

Having said that, I do believe that medical reasons are a lot different then saying I don't want a child right now.
Just wanted to make sure people don't think I am against abortion in all cases. Just that I think a lot of bad comes from doing them at the rate we do. It's like an un-natural population control that IMO could eventually mean the end of the American way of life.

Powerful stuff. Gotta love Tebow.
I know some people who marched on DC with the Tea Party folks, and they said that there was a pro-life demonstration where mothers of aborted children had bought baby shoes in memorial for their babies, given the babies names, and written them a little note. They said that there were hundreds of them, all personalized by their moms. It makes your heart sick.

While I agree there would likely be more controversy if a pro-choice comercial aired or a gay marriage spot, I still like the kid for being a solid role model and student athlete. But pretentiousness turns alot of people off and while I am sure he is content to allow us our opinions, mass market ads like this do come off as pretentious and zealous

I'm trying to figure out what is seen as pretentious? It doesn't come across as if Tebow is doing this for his own glory here.
Look, my grandmother was advised to abort my dad as well due to difficulties during the pregnancy, but she chose to give birth to my dad anyway and it's a good thing she did because I wouldn't be here.

^Don't misunderstand me. I am saying that just as religious people out there would support this(and non-religious pro-life folks) there are people who view and would view this and similar spots as religion being pushed on us. Abortion is and always will be a hot-button. I myself and unconcerned with perception and offending anyone as I hate the overly PC tone our nation has taken over the years, however I was merley pointing out that it would surley draw the ire of the pro-choice world. No offense meant

Like proper family planning, like when to start and prepare to build a stable home environment for a child and when to recognize when not to or when not prepared. Not every pregnancy comes with Tebow ready parents and resources to raise a Tim Tebow, like having the ability to choose where to live in Florida so Tim can play at the school of his choice after being home schooled by his mother that didn't need to work to make ends meet.
From the U of Chicago, not exactly a Keynesian economics school of thought:
THE IMPACT OF LEGALIZED ABORTION ON CRIME (http://pricetheory.uchicago.edu/levitt/Papers/DonohueLevittTheImpactOfLegalized2001.pdf)*
JOHN J. DONOHUE III AND STEVEN D. LEVITT
We offer evidence that legalized abortion has contributed signicantly to
recent crime reductions. Crime began to fall roughly eighteen years after abortion
legalization. The ve states that allowed abortion in 1970 experienced declines
earlier than the rest of the nation, which legalized in 1973 with Roe v. Wade.
States with high abortion rates in the 1970s and 1980s experienced greater crime
reductions in the 1990s. In high abortion states, only arrests of those born after
abortion legalization fall relative to low abortion states. Legalized abortion appears
to account for as much as 50 percent of the recent drop in crime.
I. INTRODUCTION
Since 1991, the United States has experienced the sharpest
drop in murder rates since the end of Prohibition in 1933. Homicide
rates have fallen more than 40 percent. Violent crime and
property crime have each declined more than 30 percent.
VI. CONCLUSION
We know that teenagers, unmarried women, and poor women
are most likely to deem a pregnancy to be either mistimed or
unwanted, and that a large proportion of these unintended pregnancies
will be terminated through abortion.36 According to a
recent National Academy report, there appears to be a causal
and adverse effect of early childbearing on the health and social
and economic well-being of children; this effect is over and above
the important effects of background disadvantages [Institute of
Medicine 1995, p. 58]. Moreover, unintended pregnancies are
associated with poorer prenatal care, greater smoking and drinking
during pregnancy, and lower birthweights. Consequently, the
life chances of children who are born only because their mothers
could not have an abortion are considerably dampened relative to
babies who were wanted at the time of conception. The drop in the
proportion of unwanted births during the 1970s and early 1980s
appears to be the result of the increasing availability and resort
to abortion.
The evidence we present is consistent with legalized abortion
reducing crime rates with a twenty-year lag. Our results suggest
that an increase of 100 abortions per 1000 live births reduces a
cohorts crime by roughly 10 percent. Extrapolating our results
out of sample to a counterfactual in which abortion remained
illegal and the number of illegal abortions performed remained
steady at the 1960s level, we estimate that (with average national
effective abortion rates in 1997 for all three crimes ranging from
between 142 and 252) crime was almost 1525 percent lower in
1997 than it would have been absent legalized abortion.
These estimates suggest that legalized abortion is a primary
explanation for the large drops in murder, property crime, and
violent crime that our nation has experienced over the last decade.
Indeed, legalized abortion may account for as much as
one-half of the overall crime reduction. Assuming that this claim
is correct, existing estimates of the costs of crime (e.g., Miller,
Cohen, and Rossman [1993] suggest that the social benet to
reduced crime as a result of abortion may be on the order of $30
billion dollars annually. Increased imprisonment between 1991 and 1997
(the prison population rose about 50 percent over this period)
lowered crime 10 percent based on an elasticity of 2 .20.
Thus, together abortion and prison growth explain much, if not
all, of the decrease in crime.37
Roughly half of the crimes committed in the United States
are done by individuals born prior to the legalization of abortion.
As these older cohorts age out of criminality and are replaced by
younger offenders born after abortion became legal, we would
predict that crime rates will continue to fall. When a steady state
is reached roughly twenty years from now, the impact of abortion
will be roughly twice as great as the impact felt so far. Our results
suggest that all else equal, legalized abortion will account for
persistent declines of 1 percent a year in crime over the next two
decades. To the extent that the Hyde Amendment effectively
restricted access to abortion, however, this prediction might be
overly optimistic.
While falling crime rates are no doubt a positive development,
our drawing a link between falling crime and legalized
abortion should not be misinterpreted as either an endorsement
of abortion or a call for intervention by the state in the fertility
decisions of women. Furthermore, equivalent reductions in crime
could in principle be obtained through alternatives for abortion,
such as more effective birth control, or providing better environments
for those children at greatest risk for future crime.

Abortion is one of those issues that needs to be looked square in the eye. If you show a person what it is, they run away from it because they dont want to confront the harsh reality of it. That was my first clue that there was something wrong. Then the more I looked at the details, the more I learned in college in my biology curriculum, the more I began to appreciate the motherly side of women...the more it disgusted me.
This issue is one that people hide behind buzzwords like "choice" and "womens rights", but the reality of the issue is extremely destructive and harmful to women and their children.

some people don't believe murdering unborn children to reduce the crime rate is an acceptable moral decision. though I suppose as long as we're talking about slaughtering people who might be future criminals for societal good, I got some really ****ing good ideas in that direction.

Bulls**T. Seriously while you are posting up all those heartbreaking cards and if you feel so strongly about it why don't you adopt? Why don't all those anti abortionists save the woman from potential remorse and offer to take care of the child until she is able to? It would be a great moral and caring thing to do. No you can't abort but I'm also not going to help you adopt by adopting your child and as a matter of fact my party will work towards cutting the funding from every social source of relief you may need to have a successful pregnancy and a shot at giving this kid a life. It's kind of a NIMBY thing. You want to tell a woman what to do then then walk away from the rest of the problem. Nice.

I have never met a non-religious family who has adopted children. However, off hand I can think of 9 families that I am friends with who have adopted one or more American and/or international kids. They are all Christians.
There are boucoups religious adoption services. Jewish, Christian, Mormon, you name it.
The idea that "if you want them alive, then you take care of them" is not only cruel and inhumane, but comes from an uninformed opinion.

Why don't all those anti abortionists save the woman from potential remorse and offer to take care of the child until she is able to? It would be a great moral and caring thing to do. No you can't abort but I'm also not going to help you adopt by adopting your child and as a matter of fact my party will work towards cutting the funding from every social source of relief you may need to have a successful pregnancy and a shot at giving this kid a life. It's kind of a NIMBY thing. You want to tell a woman what to do then then walk away from the rest of the problem. Nice.
those assholes who want to stop children from being murdered. horrible people, all of them. I think we should extend abortion till the age of 2, and if anyone objects force them to adopt the children that the mothers want to drown. otherwise they have no moral right to object about anything.
I have never met a non-religious family who has adopted children. However, off hand I can think of 9 families that I am friends with who have adopted one or more American and/or international kids. They are all Christians.
There are boucoups religious adoption services. Jewish, Christian, Mormon, you name it.
The idea that "if you want them alive, then you take care of them" is not only cruel and inhumane, but comes from an uninformed opinion.
I also know people who are not religious who have adopted. So what is your point there, you only know religious people? And how humane is "I will tell you what to do with your body regardless of whether you can care for this child or not, AND I will use my religious beliefs to make political choices that undercut the services you and your child need to have a chance. WTF?? Don't lecture me on "uniformed" when the viewpoint you support is based on hypocrisy.

That child is a passenger in that womb. The mother is the steward of the life.
I think that you should probably take a look at the adoption services out there before you start advocating something as vicious and devastating as abortion.
In fact, simply advocating abortion as a choice as to what someone "can do with their body" is not only selfish, but it is also brutally animalistic, shallow, and irresponsible.

Just curious McSkillet, how aware are you of adoption services? Hardly acquainted.
I think every time a person has an abortion, it must just kill part of your soul... I mean, what a demoralizing position to be in... taking the life of your own child, flesh and blood.
I think it must rival robbing graves, crypts or something along those lines.
I dated a girl back in college who had a abortion earlier in her life. I never passed judgement, because those are her demons but she's recently found that her body isn't functioning properly, can't have babies. I wouldn't wish that on anybody, but karma is a bitch. Sometimes when you abuse it, you lose it.
I bet there isn't a day that goes by where she doesn't go by where she doesn't regret it now.

Tebow was well liked before this, but is now an enemy of the left and will wish him the worst in the NFL. Glad they are so tolerant of other views as they claim. They believe Tebow should keep that to himself, but we all have to listen and respect the liberal point of view on all subjects and are intolerant, haters if we don't. Hypocrisy? Nah, they don't do that on every issue.

It never ceases to amaze me how snake handlers and right-wingnuts like McDramaQueen, as evidenced by their politics, "care" so much about potential lives but couldn't give a tinker's f_ck less about the plight of actual living children who are less fortunate than themselves.

I already responded to it. to put it simple less interesting terms, you're trying to emotionally blackmail people who consider killing unborn children to be murder, by doing what? forcing them to adopt all the children that the mothers want to slaughter? like I said earlier, why not extend the abortion age to 2, and force anyone who disagrees to adopt any child a mother wants to drown.
murder is murder, it's not justified by having a hard life, or having the life be an inconvenience to your future plans.
basically you're a giant idiot, peddling simplistic, barbaric and selfish logic. this thread was so much nicer with the posted images of baby shoes given by mournful mothers and without hyper aggressive zealouts like you that need to lash out.

GAINESVILLE, Fla. Tim Tebow is taking his star power to sport's biggest stage.
The former Florida quarterback and his mother will appear in a 30-second commercial during the Super Bowl next month. The Christian group Focus on the Family says the Tebows will share a personal story centering on the theme "Celebrate Family, Celebrate Life."
The group isn't releasing details, but the commercial is likely to be an anti-abortion message chronicling Pam Tebow's 1987 pregnancy. 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.
The 2007 Heisman Trophy winner ended his college career with several NCAA, Southeastern Conference and school records, and two national championships. Tebow also has been very involved in his family's Christian-based ministry.
Jim Daly, president and CEO of Focus on the Family, said the commercial comes at a time when "families need to be inspired."
"Tim and Pam share our respect for life and our passion for helping families thrive," Daly said. "Focus on the Family is about ... strengthening families by empowering them with the tools they need to live lives rooted in morals and values."
Thirty-second commercials during the Super Bowl are selling for between $2.5 million and $2.8 million. Daly said all the funds for the ad came from a handful of "very generous and committed friends," and that no money from the group's general fund was used.
"Now that the ad has been shot, we're excited to tell people it's coming because the Tebows' story is such an important one for our culture to hear," he said. "You won't want to miss it."
Pretty amazing story. I never knew. Good for the Tebow family.
How assinine of this group to talk about family values and morals when one of their SUPER DADS admitted to hiring a male prostitute and doing drugs while married with children.
Great Family Values!!!Hilarious!

Take a deep breath you high maintenance idiot. Since when is any life guaranteed! All you anti-abortion freaks should be made by law to go around and adopt all the children who are scheduled to meet their maker with the scalpel or vacum cleaner.
You Abortion Freaks can cry, biatch, moan and How at the Moon over the abortion issues in theis country.....but when the dust all settles it all comes down to a womans right to choose. Its their body and their choice! Males nor Fathers have no control over a woman's reproductive rights. So you guys need to mind your own business; and follow the old rule --- If You Don't Belileve in Abortions......DON'T HAVE ANY ABORTIONS. See how simple this is?

So as long as you meet your moral imperative the short and long term ramifications of having met that are basically irrelavent because you can in you mind seperate the religious and political issues. I see. Black and White. I just think you are taking the easy way out. I wouldn't exempt yourself from the zealot label btw.

If people are really concerned about saving babies, they should take the money they spend on ads like this and pay for prenatal care for women in 3rd world countries.
I'm not being flip--money for healthcare for impoverished women would save far more babies than the $ they're spending on this ad.

Take a deep breath you high maintenance idiot. Since when is any life guaranteed! All you anti-abortion freaks should be made by law to go around and adopt all the children who are scheduled to meet their maker with the scalpel or vacum cleaner.
You Abortion Freaks can cry, biatch, moan and How at the Moon over the abortion issues in theis country.....but when the dust all settles it all comes down to a womans right to choose. Its their body and their choice! Males nor Fathers have no control over a woman's reproductive rights. So you guys need to mind your own business; and follow the old rule --- If You Don't Belileve in Abortions......DON'T HAVE ANY ABORTIONS. See how simple this is?
Abortions are wrong and they are murder. If we followed your logic then it would be okay to kill anyone. But if you don't agree with killing then don't murder people. You are sorry and should feel grateful your mother didn't abort you.

So as long as you meet your moral imperative the short and long term ramifications of having met that are basically irrelavent because you can in you mind seperate the religious and political issues. I see. Black and White. I just think you are taking the easy way out. I wouldn't exempt yourself from the zealot label btw.
murder for social convenience is not acceptable. If you think that murder for social convenience is acceptable than our moral values are so far apart that there is simply no way we're going to come to an understanding.
but like I said, for the non-zealots of the world being pro or anti-abortion should hinge on whether or not you consider the child inside the mother a person. welfare payments, crime rates, inconvenience, all are awful excuses to use for murder.

I can see how one could be pro-abortion if they considered the child inside the mother to not be a human being. I disagree with that position, but at least it has logic to it.
being pro abortion because it will lower the crime rate, or you don't think enough money is being spent on our welfare state, or you hate religious people. that's just ****ing evil.

Do you support women to have control over their reproductive rights?
Do you support a Womens right to choose period?
You can cry until the cows come home but a womens right to choose and to have control and final say on their reproductive rights is "Settled Law"! and ROVE V WADE is the law of the land.
Yourself, Garcia, Yavoon, McSkillet, and any other anti-abortionist in this nation have every right to free speech, however should you morons try to use your free speech to protest for religious gains.....Pro Abortionist have every right to challenge your self centered ideological lunacies. So get over youselves.
Here's the reality, what makes me laugh (cry really) is that the "Pro-lifers" are also "Pro-Warmongers". Guess the term pro-life only applies to American babies, not the babies of people in other countries getting shot or blown up. What a pathetic group of hypocrites.
You never see these fools standing in line at Mt. St. Vincent wanting to adopt all the unwanted, abused children there. Once the child is born, they and their mothers are on their own. If the baby starves to death because the mom cant afford to feed it, oh well too bad thats Gods will.

Certainly to a degree. However, there is a part of the equation you are neglecting(aka the male that fertilized the egg) You are also neglecting when the decision is made. If you engage in unprotected sex then you've already made the decision.

I have found it bizarre that some of the most pro-war Americans are pro-lifers. To be passionate enough to protest on a street corner in the hopes that you might save lives is one thing. Yet for pro-lifers to consistently and enthusiastically vote for leaders whose foreign policies will admittedly lead to the deaths of thousands of civilians women, children, babies in order to achieve political objectives is something I cannot understand. "It's a Child Not a Choice"? How about "It's a Kid Not Collateral Damage"?
The pro-lifers in genereal all agree that when it comes to supporting the Iraq war, the ends justify the deadly means, and yet they dedicate their lives to convincing pregnant women that no matter how desperate their situation, deadly solutions are never acceptable. According to some pro-lifers, political objectives can be worth thousands of deaths, while individual objectives are never worth one.
Do you now see the hypocrisy.

Does it have a heartbeat? Does it move and think?
These questions have been proven, emphatically, YES, and that means it is alive.
So if you take the life of something, just because it isn't fully developed yet, what does that make you?

What gets me are the sick****s who think partial birth abortion is just fine and the steps taken in that process.
They believe it's not murder, but at the same time, during this procedure, the baby is delivered feet first on purpose so the doctor can suck the brains out of the baby while it's head is still in the womb and can technically say, it wasn't born yet since the head was still inside.
But if not really murder, why would that matter? Wouldn't need such a technicality if really believed it wasn't murder.
Of course, once it's dead, what is it? A baby? A thing? Sick ****s and liars I might add. It's not murder, but look how the procedure is done to ensure in their minds that it isn't.

You assume that I'm a hard-core right winger hanging off their every policy because I'm a Christian, I believe in less government rule over society, and support of our military and the right to be free. Wrong.
I don't believe in cutting all social services. You're generalizing again. Instead of entitling a citizen, I believe in impowering them. Staples our country should be built upon is education and the overall preservation of children in all capacities. That includes healthcare, housing, wel-fare and the aforementioned education. This should be applied to the inner-city, suburbs, and country kids. We need to find a way to bridge education from youth, all the way up through the university level and maximize the person's ability to succeed. That would be one of my first priorities. Sex education and things of that nature are included with that and we have to be honest about the situation, sex, what comes from it, and of course what things like abortion are and mean.
As for society in general, we need to motivate rather than stipulate how they will live their lives, at the same time there needs to be incentive to work and be productive. Getting people sucking off the tit of government for life is a really poor way to do things. So how do you change that? Education. Empowerment. Motivation. Results. Definitely not some of the ideas this progressive leadership has had in mind. They want to build huge government, get everybody hooked into the system, entitle certain groups over others, expand to massive levels of immigration and eliminate the ability to perform at a high level, and enjoy the benefits of their labor.
haha "I dont support abortion I just attack everyone who has a moral objection like a rabid dog using horrid and inane arguments."

Then again, what is your theory to ending terrorism? Hug it out? Should we lay down our weapons and disband the military?
Afghanistans themselves say that we've been a benefit to their country, and have helped put terrorists in check.
Even Iraq, which I didn't agree with when we went in, overthrew the dictator who took hundreds of THOUSANDS of lives and was committed to genocide on Kurdish people among other groups. Do you think it was fair that we do nothing? Spare me your alternative motives speech too, there are travesty's going on all over the world as we all know, and you'll want to connect this deed with oil or whatever.
Fact is Rasta, you would have have sat on the sidelines when Hitler was doing the same thing to Jewish people. You would have turned a blind eye because just like abortionist, it's your choice to do so and it's easier that way if you don't really know whats going on.

The murder of a pregnant woman results in charges concerning two people: the mother and the chlild.
Our legal system already defines the child as an individual and ascribes him or her the rights of an individual. It doesnt take Aristotle to see the cognitive dissonance created by abortion juxtaposed with that legal precedent.

Its just like any other crime. Abortion disregards the life of the child. I dont disagree with the hysterectomy idea at all, or maybe a tubal ligation...something that can be reversed if the person has become responsible enough that they can plan ahead and pay for it themself.
You do realize of course that there is no definable difference between a fetus and a corpse. But maybe you also want to kill all the people who cremate bodies?

I have never met a person that I have thought such vile things about...who would you ever wish had never been born? I had a kid in one of my bible studies several years ago who joined a gang and ended up shooting and killing another young man in a gang fight. Even his life had value to his friends and family. Obviously the other young man's family wanted retribution and probably wished death upon my student at some point.
Anyway, I can pretty much guarantee that those aborted children would be loved by someone...probably the parent that aborted them.
American philosophy places infinite values on the rights of human beings. Abortion is a violation of that philosophy.

Its just like any other crime. Abortion disregards the life of the child. I dont disagree with the hysterectomy idea at all, or maybe a tubal ligation...something that can be reversed if the person has become responsible enough that they can plan ahead and pay for it themself.
Sorry man, I usually enjoy your takes, but thats pretty silly. The differences between a non-living human and a growing human are so numerous that I could fill this thread with them. You are creating an incongruent comparison that neither defines the issue or addresses the real issue.
So what do you do in case of a natural abortion? how do you deal with pregnant women who do sports or drugs? they are clearly endangering the fetus, so that would be tantamount to attempted murder n'est ce pas? or at least reckless endangerment.
A fetus isn't a human, it can't sustain life and if you take it out of its lifesupport system it will be dead immediately. You could hook a corpse up to a similar system, feeding, blood circulation and the cells would remain alive and divide and proliferate just normally. They both express normal human DNA and they both contain the potential for life.

the definition of human is that you can not support life on ur own? better tell all those ppl on respirators and pacemakers they are officially inhuman to pro abortionists.

Hey dumbass, if it's murder, park your ass outside the clinic and call the cops everytime someone commits murder. Eventually they'll charge you for wasting the taxpayers money by filing false reports, and then you'll end up in jail, where you belong because you are stomping on the rights of ohers.

So in abortion should be legal for anyone who was not in a position to make a decision? underagers, legally insane, rape victims etc? As well as anyone who used contraceptives that failed obviously, that is going to be a big wide gaping loophole.

If a woman can't figure out how not to have a child and wants an abortion, then that's her business, but I reject tax dollars being spent for it. Take personal responsibility, which is something liberals have a hard time understanding.

These kinds of questions are beside the point. I will answer it for you though. Women who endanger their children in utero are usually watched by CPS or their children are taken from them depending on the judgment of CPS caseworkers. CPS' role should be to ensure the optimal situation for the child. Most times this means finding some way to keep the child with the mother.
A fetus isn't a human
This is absolutely false in every sense. From the standpoint of a biologist, a "fetus" is only definable as a human and nothing else. It is alive, and it is purely human. The cells and organ systems in place are unique to humans. The trophic nature of the baby is purely that of humans. It has its own unique set of chromosomes, it has its own unique array of human cells, from atom to molecule to macromolecule to organelle to cell to tissue to organ to organ system to organism in its environment the fetus is purely human and cannot be defined as anything else BUT human. Homo sapiens. Human.
Just like you are sustained by your environment and would die if poisons were injected into it. Just like you would die if your food and water sources were taken away. Just like you would die if someone opened the door to your house, pulled you out the door by your feet, chopped open the back of your skull with a machete, vacuumed out the contents of your head, and then threw your newly lifeless body in a biohazard bag.
it can't sustain life and if you take it out of its lifesupport system it will be dead immediately. You could hook a corpse up to a similar system, feeding, blood circulation and the cells would remain alive and divide and proliferate just normally. They both express normal human DNA and they both contain the potential for life.
You are flat out ignoring the truth. Any scientist that claimed equivalency between a dead organism and a live one would be laughed into irrelevancy.

RNC health insurance plan covers abortions <hr style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);" size="1"> <!-- / icon and title --> <!-- message --> By CHRISTINE SIMMONS (AP) Nov 12, 2009
WASHINGTON The Republican National Committee's health insurance plan covers elective abortions for its employees, an option Republicans strongly oppose in health overhaul legislation that Democrats are trying to push through Congress.
Republican Party Chairman Michael Steele learned of the policy's abortion coverage Thursday through a news report and immediately instructed staff to inform the insurance carrier that the RNC wanted to opt out of elective abortion coverage, RNC spokeswoman Gail Gitcho said.
"Money from our loyal donors should not be used for this purpose," Steele said in a statement. "I don't know why this policy existed in the past, but it will not exist under my administration. Consider this issue settled."
Gitcho said the policy has been in effect since 1991.
A memo earlier from RNC Chief of Staff Ken McKay to the organization's members said Steele was taking the issue very seriously and "has been engaged by phone on this issue."
The GOP platform traditionally includes strong anti-abortion language. All House Republicans, except one, voted for an amendment imposing restrictions of coverage for abortions in the health care bill that passed the House last Saturday. Inclusion of the abortion restrictions prompted an angry backlash from liberal House Democrats, and some are now threatening to vote against a final bill if the curbs stay in.
The memo said the RNC received a phone call from a reporter on Wednesday asking whether the RNC's health care policy, through Cigna, covered elective abortions for employees. On Thursday, Politico.com published a report citing two sales agents for Cigna who said the RNC's policy covered elective abortion.
The Cigna employees said the RNC didn't choose to opt out of abortion coverage when given the opportunity, Politico.com reported.
"Upon learning of this story, at the chairman's direction, we immediately contacted the Executive Committee," the RNC memo said. "We will be scheduling a call with the Executive Committee in the immediate future to discuss this matter more fully."
The memo said the RNC health insurance policy has been in review for some time.
"Chairman Steele had already called for an official review of our health insurance policy along with a number of other operational items," the memo said.

A national coalition of women's groups called on CBS on Monday to scrap its plan to broadcast an ad during the Super Bowl featuring college football star Tim Tebow and his mother, which critics say is likely to convey an anti-abortion message.
"An ad that uses sports to divide rather than to unite has no place in the biggest national sports event of the year -- an event designed to bring Americans together," said Jemhu Greene, president of the New York-based Women's Media Center.
The center was coordinating the protest with backing from the National Organization for Women, the Feminist Majority and other groups.
CBS said it has approved the script for the 30-second ad and has given no indication that the protest would have an impact. A network spokesman, Dana McClintock, said CBS would ensure that any issue-oriented ad was "appropriate for air."
The ad -- paid for by the conservative Christian group Focus on the Family -- is expected to recount the story of Pam Tebow's pregnancy in 1987 with a theme of "Celebrate Family, Celebrate Life." 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.
The controversy over the ad was raised Sunday when Tebow met with reporters in Mobile, Ala., before beginning preparations for next weekend's Senior Bowl.
"I know some people won't agree with it, but I think they can at least respect that I stand up for what I believe," Tebow said. "I've always been very convicted of it (his views on abortion) because that's the reason I'm here, because my mom was a very courageous woman. So any way that I could help, I would do it."
Thirty-second commercials during the Super Bowl are selling for $2.5 million to $2.8 million. Gary Schneeberger, a spokesman for Focus on the Family, said funds for the Tebow ad were donated by a few "very generous friends" and did not come from the group's general fund.
Schneeberger said he and his colleagues "were a little surprised" at the furor over the ad.
"There's nothing political and controversial about it," he said. "When the day arrives, and you sit down to watch the game on TV, those who oppose it will be quite surprised at what the ad is all about."
The protest letter from the Women's Media Center suggested that CBS should have turned down the ad in part because it was conceived by Focus on the Family.
"By offering one of the most coveted advertising spots of the year to an anti-equality, anti-choice, homophobic organization, CBS is aligning itself with a political stance that will damage its reputation, alienate viewers, and discourage consumers from supporting its shows and advertisers," the letter said.
However, Schneeberger said CBS officials carefully examined Focus on the Family's track record and found no basis for rejecting the ad.
"We understand that some people don't think very highly of what we do," Schneeberger said. "We're not trying to sell you a soft drink -- we're not selling anything. We're trying to celebrate families."
The idea for the ad came from an employee in Focus on the Family's film department, Schneeberger said, and the Tebows "were thrilled" when it was proposed to them. The Tebows, including Tim, have been outspoken in discussing their Christian faith and their missionary work.
All the national networks, including CBS, have policies that rule out the broadcast of certain types of contentious advocacy ads. In 2004, CBS cited such a policy in rejecting an ad by the liberal-leaning United Church of Christ highlighting the UCC's welcoming stance toward gays and others who might feel shunned by more conservative churches.
CBS was criticized for rejecting that ad -- and perhaps might have worried about comparable criticism from conservatives if it had rejected an ad featuring such a charismatic and well-known figure as Tebow.
CBS noted that it had run some advocacy ads in recent months, including spots taking conflicting sides in the debate of a national health care overhaul.
Terry O'Neill, the president of the National Organization for Women, said she had respect for the private choices made by women such as Pam Tebow but condemned the planned ad as "extraordinarily offensive and demeaning."
"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."

I know, that can be hard for some degenerates in this country to follow and support, and goes strictly against their agenda but they really just need to back down on this issue.
We're all lucky to see a prominent sports figure like Tim Tebow as such a positive role model as he's been to the public and the children of this country. I know he isn't out slapping bitches, wearing 50 lbs of gold, and catching a case like most professional athletes, but I think we should overlook that just this one time.

I'm a huge OU fan. If Tebow wasnt such a good dude and fierce competitor, I would hate him. He was the wall between OU and another championship. Tebow really is a good kid and its pretty much impossible for me to root against him no matter how much I dislike Flordia. I wouldnt mind if the Broncos took a flier on him in the second or third round.

Be careful what you wish for.....CBS is making an exception which may bite them in their legal ass in the future, exposing them to lawsuits which may negate the 2.5million dollar profit they will realize by allowing the Hypocrites at Focus on the Family a national audience.

Not sure if anyone has seen the ad (I have not) but isnt the Tebow ad more of a pro life commercial than an anti abortion? There is a difference. Asking someone to choice the life option would come across as a pro life ad. Showing ripped up fetus' bodies or women killing themselves in shame would be considered an anti abortion ad. Do the groups that think this is too contraversial because their $ will go down?
Basically it's just celebrating life. That's what these dumbasses are all up in arms about. They're pissed because a mother chose to fight for her baby instead of the weak alternative, and is proud about it and wants the world to hear the story. It's "threatening" to their immoral way of life.
I'd feel upset too. Not everybody has the strength of Tebow's mother. Much easier to hit the back alley, grab a powertool and get blending away. You know, wouldn't want a little responsibility weighing down your personal life.

Tebow and his mom are trying to lay the ground work on behalf of the Tali-ban Focus on the Family to challenge and overturn "Rove v Wade". Plain and simple, while using their free speech during the SB when 10's of millions or 100's of millions of people are watching the SB.

How is "CELEBRATING LIFE" a political view? Because you made it one? Because you and your ilk choose to murder living babies in utero? So those of us who choose to be responsible in life, and have morals, can't celebrate the lifes that we raise? Because you feel threatened?
I try every once in awhile to think of the mentality of the radical, progressive liberal but it just hurts my head. How can you easily hate so much in life, including your own flesh and blood so much so that you destroy it? You hate everything and anything that has positivity in it.
You made yourself a success and make more money than me. "I hate you!"
You work harder than me. "I hate you!"
You love your kids. "I HATE YOU!"
You believe in morals and a divine power that guides us... " I HATE ALL OF IT!!!!"

I don't know why this is such a big deal. Anybody that needs an abortion probably ain't watching the Super Bowl on their 50" plasma. The audience is middle America, and foolish impregnated kids and their families who are thinking about making a stupid decision. Maybe this commercial will save another Tim Tebow, but I seriously doubt it will save all those future criminals. They will still get aborted and we will save millions just from not needing to execute them later. So, don't worry about it, man. Only good can come from this commercial. Save another Tebow! :yayaya:

Hey Jackass, I don't want to hear about your self perceived moral superiority or any other opinion on religion and politics during a football game. The Right Wing war mongering a-holes are no better than anyone else in this country. You don't know what my views on abortion are and they are none of your fooking business anyway.
You're probably one of the people in this country who believes in murdering a murderer (human being), to show that murdering is wrong, and then goes around beating his chest about abortion.
There are going to be about 100 million of us who wont be happy for 30 seconds of the Super Bowl, writes CBS Sports Gregg Doyel. Im not complaining about the ad because its anti-abortion and Im not.

Spider, government is not having a say on this, CBS is accepting it. I am sure we will all comment on it once the ad is shown. I have nothing against pro life ads. I would have a problem with anti abortion ads and that is a big difference. Celebrating life is wrong? What if the ad states, "Choose adoption" and brought to you by some Adoption Counsel. Would all of you oppose? Is it because it is brought by Focus on the Family that scares you?
