St. John the Evangelist - Ancient Faith, Modern Relevance

Tim Tebow is the quarterback of the Florida Gators.  He led his team to two national championships and is expected to play professionally for the NFL.  He is also the committed Christian son of Christian parents.

When Tim's mother, Pam Tebow, was pregnant with Tim in 1987, she contracted ameobic dysentary while on a misssionary trip in the Philippines.  Mrs. Tebow's physician advised his patient to terminate her pregnancy claiming that the medications required to treat the disease would cause irreparable damage to her baby.  She refused.

Tim and his family have now starred in an advertisement produced by Focus on the Family in which they discuss their story and the Tebows' decision to continue with Pam's pregnancy.  Focus on the Family has bought time to air the commercial on CBS during the Superbowl.  It is estimated that 100 million Americans watch the Superbowl.

The National Organization for Women (NOW) are strongly urging CBS to reject the Tebow/Focus on the Family commercial claiming it is disrespectful to women.
