What if it was a rape, what if the mother would be hurt in the pregnancy process? And then you have to think about just not the baby though. What if a year after the person who gave their child up for adoption got so depressed because they was told to not have an abortion and do something they should not do. I know it is not something good to think about, but its the truth. I will argue this point till the end of time and I will speak it loud and clear too.

Thank you so much for writing this. I AM an adoptive parent also. I adopted my identical boys 23 years ago at birth.

HOWEVER, as a victim of a BRUTAL rape, I feel VERY STRONGLY that every woman has the choice to do what she wants to do to her body.

I often wonder if any of these people who so strongly believe they have a right to tell other people what to do with their own bodies have every been, or had a very close loved one brutally raped. Would they want that victim to go through an entire pregnancy carrying a child from a rape that practically KILLED them?

I acknowledge how blessed I am for the opportunity to adopt my two sons. Their birth mother made her choice, hence, I have the opportunity to now be a mother.

And one more thing - I'm not so sure how I would feel about going through a pregnancy resulting from a brutal rape (by 3 men) and then giving that child up for adoption. If these sick men passed their brutal genes on to the child, what type of person would they turn out to be? Perhaps it wouldn't have effected that child at all, however, what if it did?

I thought the ad was weak. I had no clue it was actually about pro-life. I thought it was about Timmy Tebow being a Heisman Trophy winner, and a Univ. of Florida star QB. I thought maybe it had to do with a new medicine for hyperactivity. Go figure.

One last note to wrap up this thread, perhaps.
The Tebow ad ranked 73/73 for viewership for the Super Bowl.
In case you were wondering. LOL
Not sure how the rankings went, but here is a blog with the results.
