A Super Bowl ad featuring Heisman Trophy-winning football star Tim Teborw has been protested by women’s rights groups who object to the commercial’s pro-life stance on abortion.
Tebrow set to star in the thirty second with his mother, who fell ill after a trip to the Philippines during her pregnancy with the pro athlete. She was told to have an abortion, but refused. Months later, in mid-1987, Tim was born.
Groups like the National Organization for Women and the Women’s Media Center in New York feel The Tebows’ Super Bowl ad and its pro-life stance have no business airing during football’s biggest night.
“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,” Jehmu Greene, president of the Women’s Media Center, said in a statement Monday.
