"The first thing I would say to you if you have a surprise pregnancy is God loves you?God loves you. And He loves your baby?" -Bob Tebow

If you're like me, you were keeping an eye out for the much-talked-about Tim Tebow ad on Sunday, which had its debut during the Super Bowl.

The 30-second spot seemed to fly by in the midst of all the other commercials, but at its conclusion, viewers were encouraged to log onto www.focusonthefamily.com to watch it again and to view a full interview with Tim's parents, Bob and Pam Tebow.

It was during that interview when Pam went into much greater detail of her "high-risk pregnancy" with Tim, how the doctors told her he wasn't a baby but "just a tumor," and that she should abort to save her own life.

The two missionaries, serving in the Philippines with their four other children, had already committed, however, to trusting God with each new life He gave them, and Pam eventually gave birth to a healthy baby boy, despite the doctors' dark warnings.

Toward the end of the interview, Focus on the Family president, Jim Daly encouraged Pam and Bob to speak to those who might be pregnant and considering an abortion.

"I would say that baby's not a mistake even though it might seem that way to her, and that God will enable her to do the right thing... and that there's help for her," Pam Tebow said. "There are so many people, so many crisis pregnancy centers across the country just waiting to encourage someone in her position..."

Bob Tebow became visibly emotional as he added, "The first thing I would say to you if you have a surprise pregnancy is God loves you?God loves you. And He loves your baby. There are lots of people that will help you?don't kill your baby."

If the commercial went by a little too quickly for you to catch on Sunday, you can watch it again, and the entire interview with Pam and Bob Tebow, at the source link provided.
