I am intrigued by the negative attention that the Tim Tebow Super Bowl ad is getting from pro-choicers. Are they worried that the multi-million dollar abortion industry might get sacked? The Tebows are simply trying to promote life — that’s it.
Many young women who become pregnant only seem to be presented with one choice by the media — abortion. So why is it so appalling that CBS might air a piece endorsing life? In addition, pro-choice supporters argue that CBS should put forth a commercial that promotes their agenda. In an indirect way, I believe that CBS will do that. Just watch the plethora of ads this Sunday that contain sexual content. Decisions of infidelity and promiscuity come down to the individual, but when our young people are bombarded with messages condoning sex, this behavior gets portrayed as the norm — without responsibilities. Do our young people ever seriously consider what might happen as a result of sex? Today’s commercials never tell us about that! Abortion is not just an “issue” forced upon us by politics or religion. Politics and religion might support one side or the other, but they are not the root of it. Rather, abortion is a human “choice” that always results in death.
I am thrilled that CBS and the Tebow family are speaking up for the unborn. As we sit down with our children to watch the Super Bowl this Sunday, we will certainly be blitzed with E.D. ads and condom commercials (just to name a few). Since this will be the case, I feel that we should also have the “choice” to watch Tim Tebow toss a “Hail Mary” for life!

Public investment
Public investment? Pennsylvania's funding of our local schools is a crying shame. Sure, times are tough, but the state managed to come up with $10 million for Bucknell University, a private school, to have a new bookstore in downtown Lewisburg. I'm still not sure how Bucknell wrangled that deal or why a private university is entitled to public funding.

Ill-conceived measure
Ill-conceived plan. It is imperative that motorists drive safely and courteously when approaching bicyclists. The only problem with the new bicyclist law requiring motorists to allow four feet of distance between their cars and the bicyclists is that this will place the car in the opposing travel lane or require it to cross the yellow line in a no-passing zone.

Public obligation
As part of her argument for home schooling, "Studying in Pajamas", Jan. 20, Joanna Wert dismisses public schools and "the majority of American workers" with a few condescending generalizations. She goes on to extol her own children's virtues and accomplishments, and then lists famous people whom she claims were home-schooled.
