DESCRIPTION:Defend Abortion Rights tomorrow! Join Revolution Books and other activists 
 and bring signs protesting the "Christian Broadcast System"and their 
 Anti-Abortion and Anti-Woman Advertisement to be telecast during the Super 
 Bowl on Sunday.\nIn spite of  CBS previously refusing to run ads from PETA, 
 MoveOn.org, and the United Church of Christ because they were deemed "too 
 political, the network is promoting the 30 second anti-choice produced by 
 Focus on the Family, featuring Pam Tebow, mother of NFL star Tim 
 Tebow.\nPam Tebow, chose to give birth against the advice of her 
 physicians, risking potentially dangerous complications to her health and 
 life.\n"The problem with this ad is it promotes the idea that a woman's 
 fundamental role is to have babies, and if she risks her life to do so, she 
 should be celebrated. Women are not breeders. CBS should change its name to 
 the 'Christian Broadcast Service' or stop the ad."\n"Focus on the Family 
 does not promote harmless 'family values' but Dark Ages ideology. They 
 actively oppose abortion, even to save the life of the woman, and birth 
 control; say that gays are an 'abomination,' and that the earth was made 
 6,000 years ago.  They actively organize their millions of supporters to 
 protest at abortion clinics and exclude gay and lesbian members of their 
 churches.  That CBS is allowing them to breach a wall into the Super Bowl, 
 and reach millions with their anti-abortion message is an outrage" said 
 Debra Sweet, Director of the World Can't Wait.\nWriter Sunsara Taylor said, 
 "The problem with this ad is it promotes the idea that a woman's 
 fundamental role is to have babies, and if she risks her life to do so, she 
 should be celebrated. Women are not breeders. CBS should change its name to 
 the 'Christian Broadcast Service' or stop the ad."\nWhat is being put 
 forward with this ad is wrong and is a horror for women all around the 
 world. In the U.S., a woman is beaten by her partner every 15 seconds and 
 three women are killed every day by possessive lovers and abusive husbands. 
  This ad is a continuation of the oppression and hatred of women that gets 
 played out every minute in this country and throughout the world.  This ad 
 is for all those who support the cold-blooded, calculated murder of 
 abortion doctor George Tiller. We should drown this ad out with our demand 
 for "Abortion on Demand Without Apology!".\n
