Tim Tebow terrifies feminists

Heisman Trophy winner and Florida Gators quarterback, Tim Tebow, is a favorite heading into the NFL spring draft. A favorite among football fans and pro-life Americans, that is. Puppy-faced Tebow, who loves his mom and isn’t afraid to hug her in public, is on the receiving end of trash-talking, bitter feminists.

Radical feminists find Tebow’s life story threatening. Tebow plans to tell how his mother chose life for him, when her doctors advised abortion, in a CBS-approved and Focus on the Family-sponsored Super Bowl ad. The ad’s opponents seem to think that pro-abortion women who view this ad will suffer massive blows to their self-esteem and free will. Somehow, this ad – and Tebow’s mother’s choice of life – “threaten” the ability of other women to choose abortion.

In this short video, Tebow explains his role in the ad:

What do you think? Should Tim Tebow and other athletes be applauded or condemned when they take a public stand on principles they believe in? Why do feminists feel so threatened by public expressions of choosing life?

My sister, Amie, created the cartoon featured below to help generate thought-provoking discussion on this topic. I’m curious to know your thoughts!

   Those who are so “concerned” for the women who have to view this ad while watching the Super Bowl must have very little confidence in their fellow women’s ability to think for themselves. Very progressive indeed…

   I like that Amie used what looked like the visage of Jane Canney for your angry feminist. This should continue.

   Personally, I hope that CBS does not back down in airing the Tebow ad during the Super Bowl. Joy Behar of “The View” stated that abortion would have been an appropriate choice (for Tebow’s mom) since there was no way for Tebow’s mom to know that her son would not grow up to be a “rapist pedophile”. This comment is absurd! Behar’s comment is nuts regarding Tebow’s mother’s choice 23 years ago- when docs were urging her to abort her son.
   Abortion advocates state that they are all about freedom to choose. What hypocrisy- when in this example they go crazy over CBS airing this ad sponsored by Focus on the Family.
   Keep up the good writing, Katie! I love your cartoon, Amie…it is so
   much how it really is.
