In case you’ve missed it there is a brewing controversy over a coming Super Bowl ad featuring college football star Tim Tebow and his mother. The ad is paid for by a conservative religious group (Focus on The Family) and recounts the fact that when Mrs. Tebow was pregnant with Tim that she got sick with dystenery and was advised to abort the fetus.

For personal religious reasons she did not abort and had Tim, who turned out pretty well it seems.

From what I understand the ad does not advocate banning abortion, it simply encourages those considering abortion to choose life when they make that decision.

Now if the entire point of legal abortion is the right to choose then why are they so upset at someone encouraging that people make a choice ?

(I do see the logic of some who say that such ads really don’t fit in the Super Bowl, but I have never understood why some on the pro choice side get so upset that people might chooose not to have an abortion, or might encourage such a choice)
