The 30-second Super Bowl ad that features Tim Tebow and his mother explaining how she rejected medical advice that she consider an abortion due to complications while pregnant with him was sponsored by Focus on the Family, a leading conservative Christian lobby. The controversy over the television spot was heightened because the network, CBS, said it has changed its policy against accepting advocacy advertising. Yet the network also rejected a gay-themed advertisement submitted for the 2010 Super Bowl, just as it had rejected a United Church of Christ ad in 2004 that highlighted the UCC’s welcome mat for homosexuals.
