Focus on the Family to run anti-choice Super Bowl ad
NEW YORK (CNNMoney.com) -- Focus on the Family, a Christian non-profit group, said it will air its first Super Bowl spot during the upcoming game.

The 30-second ad will feature Tim Tebow, a former quarterback with the University of Florida's Gators and 2007 winner of the Heisman Trophy, along with his mother Pam.

"Tim and Pam share our respect for life and our passion for helping families thrive," Jim Daly, president of Focus of the Family, said in a written statement on Jan. 15.

The Tebows decided to participate in the ad "because the issue of life is one they feel very strongly about," the Colorado-based organization said in a press release.

1. "A christian non-profit group"
So where did the money come from for their super bowl extravaganza 30 second ad? :shrug: Just think of all the families they could have focused on with that money. :eyes: It's past time to start taxing these assholes. When they start trying to form governmental policy they stop being eligible for non-profit, non-taxable status, in my opinion. They've pushed the "separation of church and state" envelope WAY past the point of fairness. And no one has the guts to snap their chain back. These poor persecuted christians. :sarcasm:

2. Another example of Democrats being gutless
this organization should have had it's tax exempt status pulled long ago. In fact I don't think any organization that meddles in politics should be tax free.
