The Super Bowl commercial produced by the social conservative anti-gay, anti-choice Focus on the Family featuring Tim Tebow and mom Pam aired four times before the game and again during the Super Bowl.
Recent reports also suggest that "for months", CBS Broadcast execs helped the anti-gay group script the spot.
Pam Tebow says in the spot: "I call him my miracle baby. He almost didn't make it into this world. I remember so many times when I almost lost him. It was so hard. Wel,l he's all grown up now, and I still worry about his health. Everybody treats him like he's different, but to me, he's just my baby. He's my Timmy, and I love him."
Tim Tebow adds: "Thanks mom. Love you too."
After the subtle message, the spot encourages viewers to visit FOF's website. Watch the commercial AFTER THE JUMP ...
Just the idea of it makes me want to upchuck, and uprhonda, or unptebow, or whoever.

Pam Tebow's story didn't have to be framed as anti-choice. To me, being pro-choice means that I support a woman's right to choose to have an abortion as well as her right to choose to continue her pregnancy. Pro-choice organizations should highlight that distinction and perhaps women that consider abortion but decide not to have one wouldn't be so easily co-opted by anti-abortion/anti-gay groups like Focus on the Family. Pam Tebow made the right choice for her and she should be free to talk about it.... If she is actively working to deprive other women from having the same right to choose, that's where she is wrong.
