This is it? This is what caused a firestorm of controversy? Oh, right, the controversy was caused by the pro-abortion crowd being haunted at the very thought of a commercial celebrating life. This is actually the first time anyone’s been able to actually see the ad in question. But I digress…
You wouldn’t know this is an anti-abortion commercial if you hadn’t seen the news stories leading up to its release. It consists of Tim Tebow’s mother talking about how he almost didn’t make it, calling Tim a “miracle” baby, him thanking his mother, and them hugging. Then we get a final text line mentioning the celebration of family and life.
In other words, this could have been any generic PSA about living life to the fullest and celebrating the ones you love. Nothing that should be controversial in the least. Unless you’re not a fan of families and living. In which case you have something to get outraged over.
Which helps to explain the oral diarrhea that’s been coming from the Planned Parenthood crowd.
