Much has been said already on the Tim Tebow ad that will air during the Super Bowl this year on CBS, so I’ll just point out one interesting quote from an ABC news article published today:
Karen Middlekauff, a UF law student and the president of Outlaw, an organization for College of Law LGBT students, said she believes that Tebow is still a representative of UF, and he has chosen to represent a viewpoint that shouldn’t be associated with the university.
What is the “viewpoint” Tebow is putting forth that “shouldn’t be associated with the university”? According to People Magazine:
The spot … is expected to tell the story of Pam Tebow, who became ill during her pregnancy with Tim but refused doctor recommendations to have an abortion.
Doctors recommend the death of a child in his mother’s womb, mother refuses advice and with faith and hope goes forth with the pregnancy, child grows up to be a strong, bold leader respected everywhere. Hmmm… this is not what an LGBT leader wants her university to be associated with? What exactly is hateful or wrong with this ad? This is bizarre.

Its so odd to hear those who oppose this Ad , which is a story of triumph of the very “choice” that pro-choice (abortionists) espouse. I guess its not so when you don’t make the “choice” that the abortionists want you to make. There is no ethicial position that they can take against this decision of life or death.
Bruce,
Exactly! Perhaps part of it is that they have become more insecure as their numbers have fallen significantly over recent years, while the pro-life ranks have increased: http://voiceofrevolution.askdrbrown.org/2009/05/18/2801/

So the ad is done in a tasteful way and gives a great message. Fine. So was the ad from the United Church of Christ, which CBS rejected five years ago because it was “too controversial.” The debate of abortion in this country is just as “controversial” as the debate over LGBT issues, yet CBS decides this abortion ad, made by one of the most controversial, anti-gay organizations in the nation, is appropriate? There is a double-standard. I don’t know what this UF law student is talking about, but most LGBT activists and the groups opposing this ad are doing so to address CBS double-standard.
Matt,
So you’re saying that the Tebow ad (which I do not believe you have seen) is just as controversial as the UCC ad? How do you know this? How can one measure this objectively? Isn’t this up to CBS to decide?
