PLEASE SIGN THE FREE PETITION TO CBS TELEVISION SUPPORTING TIM TEBOW, AT THE BOTTOM OF THIS PAGE! --To sponsor and directly empower hundreds of pastors and churches to receive our faxed "personhood kits" so they can begin collecting official ballot access signatures right away, please donate any of these amounts after you sign our FREE petition below: $29 = 100 churches. $87 = 300 churches. $203 = 700 churches. $290 = 1000 churches. (Or any multiple of 29 cents per church). "If this suggestion of personhood is established, the appellant's case, of course, collapses, for the fetus' right to life would then be guaranteed specifically by the [Fourteenth] Amendment." --Supreme Court Justice Harry Blackmun, writing the 1973 opinion in Roe v. Wade that 'legalized' abortion. THINK ABOUT THESE WORDS. Then take action.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- A PRAYER TO ALMIGHTY GOD, and A PETITION TO THE EXECUTIVES OF CBS TELEVISION: Dear Sirs: We the undersigned hereby petition you to protect the rights of pro-life Christians like Tim Tebow, the Florida Quarterback, and his mother Pam, who have teamed up with Focus on the Family to produce and air a responsible Superbowl ad, declaring that human life in the womb is not merely a "mass of flesh tissue" but a human person, and should not be aborted. We also sign the personhood pledge, to protect unborn children from the first moment of biological development until natural death. Unborn children need equal protection under the law, which right is guaranteed not only by the 14th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution, and the Declaration of Independence, but also by the dictates and laws of Almighty God, who says in Jeremiah 1:5, "Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; and before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee," and in Proverbs 6:16-17, "The Lord hates... hands that shed innocent blood." God end abortion and protect the equal right to life of unborn children. We pray in Jesus' name, Amen. Add your "Amen" by signing below, and WE WILL POST YOUR COMMENTS to CBS Television Executives immediately. Sign the Petition

The pro-life movement is certainly not underground or counter-culture. With regards to its intent, it deserves respect and permission for broadcasting, namely in the form slated to air during Super Bowl Sunday featuring Tim Tebow. He's an inspiration, and a real face which underlines the human aspect of the Pro-Life movement.

STATEMENT OF SCIENTISTS, MEDICAL AND
MENTAL HEALTH PROFESSIONALS ABOUT ABORTION’S EFFECT ON WOMEN
The United States Supreme Court stated in Gonzales v. Carhart that “it is unexceptionable that some
women will come to regret their choice to abort the infant life they once created and sustained … severe
depression and loss of esteem can follow.” Abortion is a difficult and complex decision, because it has deep
impact upon the woman, her own mental health and well-being, her physical health and well-being, her
relationship with the child in utero, her relationship with her husband and/or relationship with her sexual
partner, other family members, as well as society as a whole.
As a scientist, medical professional or mental health professional, I agree with the following
conclusions about abortion:
THE FACTS
1) It is common for women to experience feelings of anger, fear, sadness, anxiety, grief, or guilt
after abortion. The United States Supreme Court is correct that “some women come to regret
their choice to abort the infant life they once created and sustained… Severe depression and
loss of esteem can follow.”1
2) Women’s reaction to these feelings vary considerably with their emotional coping abilities and
pre-existing functioning. It is undeniable that significant numbers of women are injured by
abortion and should not be ignored by the medical profession and that significant numbers of
women suffer serious physical, mental or psychological trauma as a result of abortion.
3) The conclusion that there is a causal connection between abortion and negative problems is
supported by three independent lines of evidence: (a) the self-attribution of women
themselves, (b) mental health professionals who have successfully diagnosed and treated postabortion
reactions, and (c) statistically validated studies controlling for a large number of
confounding factors which have been published in peer reviewed journals.
4) There is a significant body of research which demonstrates that abortion has harmful consequences for
women. There is definite scientific evidence that supports this claim. The best scientific evidence to
date suggests that a significant number of women who elect to abort suffer serious and enduring
symptoms of anxiety, depression, trauma, suicidal behaviors, sleep disorders, and substance abuse
disorders. This evidence must not be suppressed for any reason and should be provided to women as
part of the abortion informed consent process. Peer reviewed research has shown that abortion is
statistically associated with adverse mental health outcomes compared to women who have not elected
abortion.
