Pam Tebow showed one little picture of Tim when he was a baby. She never mentioned the word abortion, just called him a “miracle baby.” With all the hype and controversy I was expecting something a lot more graphic, serious and in your face. This seemed like a playful, quite, subtle commercial that made people smile. What is your take on the commercial?

Tim Tebow was at the Super Bowl last night and we have some pictures for you:

The Super Bowl ad would be costly — as a spot during the game and three 30-second commercials before it would reportedly run about $2-3 million — but provides a unique exposure to a large national and international audience.

“Tim and Pam share our respect for life and our passion for helping families thrive,” Daly said. “Focus on the Family is about … strengthening families by empowering them with the tools they need to live lives rooted in morals and values.”

In the past, the NFL hasn’t really gone for these type of commercials. But Tim Tebow has a unique story and I think Focus on the Family wants to share it with the world. Tebow wasn’t born in America… he was actually born in the Philippines. The Gainesville Sun reports:

Pam Tebow entered into a coma after she contracted amoebic dysentery, an infection of the intestine caused by a parasite found in a contaminated food or drink.

The treatment for the medical condition would require strong medications that doctors told Pam had caused irreversible damage to Tim — so they advised her to have an abortion.

As the Sun reported, Pam Tebow refused the abortion and cited her Christian faith as the reason for her hope that her son would be born without the devastating disabilities physicians predicted.

Pam ultimately spent the last two months of her pregnancy in bed and, eventually, gave birth to a health baby boy in August 1987.

And the rest is history – Tim Tebow became arguably the greatest college football player ever and one heck of a human being. It’s my guess the Super Bowl ad will feature the story of his birth. Check back her after the game and we’ll have a video of the commercial posted.
