These are the two ads run by Focus on the Family featuring Pam and Tim Tebow that aired before and during the Super Bowl. To say they are tame is a major understatement. When you think back to all the shrill comments made by the pro-abortion groups, you begin to see just what these people are truly afraid of.
What the pro-abortion side is worried about is that the pro-life message is becoming mainstream. Just last month Sarah Palin and her daughter Bristol were on the cover of In Touch magazine with a big fat pro-life message. The pro-abortion side is fearful of these pro-life messages becoming mainstream because they are very hard to counter. Consider the ad above. It is positive; it is uplifting and makes a profound point in the gentlest way. Now try to imagine making a pro-choice message with all the same elements, pretty hard to do without being absolutely perverse.
UPDATE: Associated Press mis-characterizes Tebow ad

Did they see the same ad?And a commercial by conservative Christian group Focus on the Family, perhaps the most anticipated ad of the night, hinted at a serious subject although it took a humorous tone too. Heisman winner Tim Tebow and his mother talk about her difficult pregnancy with him and how she was advised to end the pregnancy--implying an antiabortion message--but ended with Tebow tackling his mom and saying the family must be "tough."
