Tebow Super Bowl ad surprised manyCBS aired a commercial featuring prolife college football star Tim Tebow and his mother Pam during the Super Bowl on February 7. The prolife organization Focus on the Family sponsored the ad, the 30-second ad's theme was "Celebrate Family, Celebrate Life." Pam Tebow contracted amoebic dysentery while pregnant and doctors advised her to have an abortion because the treatment could result in harm to the unborn Tim.
