CBS, the company airing the Super Bowl was urged to pull an advertisement because it was anti-abortion. The ad is described below, story in source link:
The ad -- paid for by the conservative Christian group Focus on the Family -- is expected to recount the story of Pam Tebow's pregnancy in 1987 with a theme of "Celebrate Family, Celebrate Life." After getting sick during a mission trip to the Philippines, she ignored a recommendation by doctors to abort her fifth child and gave birth to Tim, who went on to win the 2007 Heisman Trophy while helping his Florida team to two BCS championships.
Remember, a few years ago someone wanted an ad pulled from the Super Bowl because it depicted a white woman flirting with a black man? Well that was pulled because it was so controversial. The Peta about how people who were vegetarian have better sex, pulled because apparently sexual innuendo is only allowed if someone can’t claim it promotes stuff they like. Now the same thing is happening again.
I like how those who profess to be for freedom and for rights and for women don’t seem to like it when any of these things work against their general message. These things aren’t grossly offensive or full of cursing and nudity. Most of them are no worse than what you can see in a PG-13 movie, but someone is always complaining about things and trying to get them pulled form TV.
