Statement of Dr. Charmaine Yoest on airing of Tim Tebow’s Super Bowl ad

February 7, 2010

Statement of Americans United for Life Action President and CEO Dr. Charmaine Yoest on the airing of Tim Tebow’s Super Bowl ad:

“This ad was funny, light-hearted, and had a positive message for everyone. The hate-filled reaction from pro-abortion groups reveals a radical abortion-at-any-cost agenda that is far out of step with the American people. Congratulations to Focus on the Family for inspiring us all in the face of extremism.”
