Tebow Super Bowl Ad Based on Falsehood?

Womens’ rights campaigner and attorney Gloria Allred has joined the growing chorus of folks angered at the decision by CBS to allow an pro life group to air an ad during the upcoming Super Bowl on February 7. The ad will feature University of Florida quarterback Tim Tebow and his mother Pam, who claims to have chosen not to have an abortion when she was pregnant with him over the recommendation of doctors in the Philippines.
Allred contends abortion was illegal there and she doubts the story, she says in an interview.
Allred says she will lodge a complaint with the FCC and FTC “if this ad airs and fails to disclose that abortions were illegal at the time Ms. Tebow made her choice.”
Despite resistance from women’s groups, the ad is expected to air. It focuses on Ms. Tebow’s 1987 pregnancy, when she fell ill in the Philippines.
