P.S. Tebow Pro-Life Ad Stirs Debate

FILE - In this Nov. 28, 2009, file photo, Florida quarterback Tim Tebow embraces his mother, Pam, during a pre-game ceremony for graduating seniors on the Florida football team prior to an NCAA college football game against Florida State in Gainesville, Fla. CBS responded to complaints over a conservative group's planned Super Bowl ad featuring football star Tim Tebow and his mother Pam by saying that it had eased restrictions on advocacy ads and would consider "responsibly produced" ones for open spots in its Feb. 7 broadcast.   CBS said Tuesday, Jan. 26, 1010,  it had received numerous e-mails _ both critical and supportive _ since a coalition of women's groups began a protest campaign Monday against the ad, which the critics say will use Tebow and his mother to convey an anti-abortion message.

Question: Would you be offended by a pro-life ad during the Super Bowl, which focuses on the decision by Pam Tebow to keep her unborn baby who grew up to be a star college quarterback?
