Claiming that abortion is medically necessary in\u00a0order to save women’s lives is an excuse that the abortion industry has been using for decades in order to frighten people into believing that abortion must remain legal. The problem is, it isn’t true. Abortion is never medically necessary. No one knows that better than the Tebow family.<\/p>\n

Professional athlete Tim Tebow is well known for\u00a0both his football career and his pro-life stance. When his mother Pam was pregnant with him, she was in the Philippines and became suddenly ill with dysentery – an infection of the intestines.<\/p>\n

\u201cFrom the beginning, it was a difficult pregnancy, profuse bleeding and cramping,\u201d Pam Tebow told pro-life advocates at the March for Life<\/a> on January 19, 2018.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe kept thinking we lost Timmy so many times. … The best doctor in town did some tests. She determined that Timmy was a \u2018mass of fetal tissue \u2013 a tumor,\u2019 and I needed to abort immediately or I would die,\u201d she explained.<\/p>\n

Pam Tebow bravely refused abortion. The bleeding suddenly stopped and her husband flew her to Manila where an American-trained pro-life doctor saved her life and Tim’s life. He called Tim a miracle baby because there was very little placenta and he was malnourished.<\/p>\n

Tim Tebow went on to become the first sophomore ever to win a Heisman trophy. He was also the first college football player to rush and pass for 20 touchdowns in one season. Some even say he may be the best college football player of all time. Yet no one would have known he had ever existed had his mother gone through with an abortion. That’s something Tebow takes to heart.<\/p>\n

The Tebow family shared their story in a Superbowl commercial they created in partnership with Focus on the Family. Pro-life organizations and fans loved it, but pro-abortion organizations and media groups attacked it, calling it a “travesty<\/a>” and “controversial<\/a>.” \u00a0But the Tebows have refused to remain quiet.<\/p>\n
