AP- A national coalition of women's groups called on CBS on Monday to scrap its plan to broadcast an ad during the Super Bowl featuring college football star Tim Tebow and his mother, which critics say is likely to convey an anti-abortion message.  Focus on the Family will air a 30 second anti-choice ad featuring University of Florida football star Tim Tebow during the Superbowl.

"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," said Jehmu Greene, president of the New York-based Women's Media Center.

The center was coordinating the protest with backing from the National Organization for Women, the Feminist Majority and other groups.

CBS said it has approved the script for the 30-second ad and has given no indication that the protest would have an impact. A network spokesman, Dana McClintock, said CBS would ensure that any issue-oriented ad was "appropriate for air."

The ad - paid for by the conservative Christian group Focus on the Family - is expected to recount the story of Pam Tebow's pregnancy in 1987 with a theme of "Celebrate Family, Celebrate Life." After getting sick during a mission trip to the Philippines, she ignored a recommendation by doctors to abort her fifth child and gave birth to Tim, who went on to win the 2007 Heisman Trophy while helping his Florida team to two BCS championships.

The controversy over the ad was raised Sunday when Tebow met with reporters in Mobile, Ala., before beginning preparations for next weekend's Senior Bowl.

"I know some people won't agree with it, but I think they can at least respect that I stand up for what I believe," Tebow said. "I've always been very convicted of it (his views on abortion) because that's the reason I'm here, because my mom was a very courageous woman. So any way that I could help, I would do it."

(UPH) -- I commend Tebow for using himself as a poster child for anti-choice.  Tebow's commercial appearance will speak volumes to the casual sports fans that will be watching the Super bowl.   Despite fans familiarity of Tebow's stance, some feel that his appearance may overshadow the message. 

But, the biggest fear from feminist groups is that this commercial may sway the opinion of the casual on-looker.  These groups are miss-guided and totally off base for their petition to CBS.  For the life of me, I can't figure out why they would be wasting their time trying to get this commercial pulled.  Are they scared that people will come to their senses after watching it? 

But, I totally agree with Tebow's message and believe that he should be allowed to tell his story with his mom.  It's his mother's personal testimony and I'm looking forward to seeing it.  Besides, money talks and it's pretty much a wrap unless these feminist groups can present a bigger purse to CBS.
