But since not every evangelical family can produce a star athlete like the ad shows, it would be an interesting twist for Focus on the Family to create some more "Celebrate Family, Celebrate Life" ads that show more typical evangelical families who chose not to abort their kids. Here are some ideas to pitch to FOTF's agency. Picture the storyboards! A conservative Eddie Bauer-clad couple in their fifties speak solemnly about how glad they are they chose not to abort their now-grown son who dropped out of junior college but still lives at home and has a gaming addiction. It could show a little candid moment where he promises he'll go to church with them if they promise not to shut off the internet. How many evangelical families like that are out there? Way more than the Tebow family. Or! A similar couple could talk about how glad they are that they chose not to abort their daughter who grew up to get pregnant at age 18. It could show that she married the baby's 19 yr old father under pressure from the evangelical parents and then it could depict how quickly the marriage fell apart and how the parents are helping raise the grandbaby who lives with them. How many thousands of evangelical families have this story? Millions? Or! A conservative older couple could tell how they didn't abort their son from whom they're now estranged because he is gay, and that they love him so much they are standing up to this sinful lifestyle that Satan has tricked him into. This might be the most common evangelical family of them all.
Celebrate family, celebrate life!

Yup, you're right - those other families DEFINITELY should have aborted their baby and saved themselved the heartache. Makes PERFECT sense.
Dumbass.
Wow. Where did I say they should have aborted their babies?
You didn't but someone who isn't brave enough to leave their name (unless it's Dumbass) decided to read it that way. Any intelligent person would realise that all you said was "why don't they show what the majority of these cases turn out like instead of the one great success story" OK, so perhaps his name is Dumbass after all.
Indeed! Enjoy the life God has given us. Though we may sometimes do sins, never forget to ask for forgiveness and have always have faith!
