Why are groups such as the National Organization for Women (NOW), the Feminist Majority Foundation, the Women’s Media Center, and numerous “pro-choice” groups apoplectic over a Super Bowl commercial sponsored by Focus on the Family?
Clearly, the commercial’s subject matter has propelled it to the front ranks of controversy in the days leading to the Super Bowl. Entitled “Celebrate Family, Celebrate Life,” the ad purportedly (though none of the ad’s critics have actually seen it) tells the story of Florida All-American and Heisman trophy winner Tim Tebow and his mother, Pam.
