Tim Tebow is the recently departed starting quarterback for the Florida Gators college football team. He's won trophies, national championships, fame, glory, and soon, he'll be rich (expected to be a top pick in the upcoming NFL draft... maybe).
Tim Tebow won't be playing at the Super Bowl this weekend in Miami, except for the advertisement he's in, sponsored by Focus on the Family, that the pundits say is decidedly anti-abortion.
Adelle Banks at Religion News Service has a great article about this mix of sports and religion (again). You can read it here.
It's only natural, in my humble opinion, that Tebow be on the side of anti-abortion. As I've heard on the radio, his mother, while pregnant, was faced with the decision of aborting the fetus (Tim) or not. The mother chose to keep the baby, and the rest is history.
The main point for me: the mother had a choice. Which ever way you fall on the abortion issue, the main point for me is that the mother had a choice. She made her choice and is living with the consequences of it.
Don't misunderstand me: I'm not advocating abortion... I've known women who've undergone them, and I've seen the pain it can cause. What I'm advocating is choice. It's a woman's body; it's their life; it's their decision. Don't take that away.
