Let's see. Sun rises in the east; the moon is colder than the sun; "women's groups" have a conniption if someone dares to suggest their "choice" is life. Three examples of certainties in this life that you can take to the bank.

As many of you probably know, CBS has agreed to air an ad produced by Focus on the Family, featuring Heisman Trophy winning Florida quarterback Tim Tebow and his mother, during the Super Bowl. The price tag for 30 second ads is estimated at between $2.5 million and $2.8 million.

The usual grumpy old women--NOW, the Feminist Majority, something called the Women's Media Center, etc.--are calling on CBS to abort the ad before its February 7 birthing. Nobody but a few people at Focus, CBS, and the ad agency know what's in the ad, but for the usual suspects it's guilt by association.

Focus is pro-life, ergo the ad is pro-life, ergo "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," in the words of Jehmu Greene, president of the New York-based Women's Media Center.

The ad's theme, "Celebrate Family, Celebrate Life," is reason enough for pro-abortionists to panic. Where will all this radical rhetoric end?

Focus spokesman Gary Schneeberger said, "There's nothing political and controversial about it." He added, "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."

So far, CBS is sticking to its guns. According to a story that appeared yesterday in the Associated Press, "CBS said it has approved the script for the 30-second ad and has given no indication that the protest would have an impact." Dana McClintock, a network spokesman, said CBS would ensure that any issue-oriented ad was "appropriate for air."

No doubt NOW and their buddies are concerned with the inspirational message of Tim's birth, often described as a miracle. Pam and Bob Tebow already had four kids and the couple were missionaries in the Philippines when Mrs. Tebow became pregnant with Tim.

Pam Tebow contracted amoebic dysentery which (she says on a YouTube video) is a leading cause of death in the Philippines. Her physician recommend an abortion which the Tebows rejected.

"I just prayed, I said, 'God if you want another preacher in this world, give him to me and I'll raise him,'" Bob Tebow said to ESPN. "He's a miracle baby." (www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Kf16qExpZQ&autoplay=1.)

Tim Tebow's name is familiar even to those who don't follow football. He is an unabashed Christian, wears his faith not only on his sleeve but in Bible verses in eye black, and is such an incredibly decent human being that entire websites have been created just to try to find some chink in his armor.

According to newspaper accounts, "Tebow said he has deep convictions on the abortion issue because of his mother's story."

Tebow said, "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."
