"PLANNED PARENTHOOD: SEAN JAMES AND AL JOYNER RESPOND TO THE TEBOW SUPER BOWL AD" - PLANNED PARENTHOOD
VIDEO TRANSCRIPT:

Sean James: I'm Sean James. I'm a former college and professional football player.

Al Joyner: I'm Al Joyner. I won an Olympic gold medal in the triple jump.

Sean James: I love my family and I love sports.

Al Joyner: And Super bowl weekend is a perfect time to honor both, sports and family.

Sean James: There's a lot of talk leading up to the Super Bowl about an ad focused on sports and family. The ad features a great football player, Tim Tebow, and his loving mother discussing a difficult medical decision she made for her family. I respect and honor Mrs. Tebow's decision.

Al Joyner: I want my daughter to live in a world where everyone's decisions are respected.
Sean James: My mom showed me that women are strong and wise. She taught me that only women can make the best decisions about their health and their future.

Al Joyner: My daughter will always be my little girl, but I'm proud everyday as I watch her grow up to be her own person; a smart, confident, young woman. I trust her to take care of herself.

Sean James: We're working toward the day where every woman will be valued. Where every woman's decision about her health and her family will be respected.

Al Joyner: We celebrate families by supporting our mothers, by supporting our daughters, by trusting women.

Abortion is disrespectful to women.

@steagle1017 my 18 year old daughter has a child, finished high school , in the fall she will attend a very well respected university in north carolina, and from what I have seen so far Palin would be a huge improvement in the white house

it's funny how all the anti-abortion folks are all about "limiting government" when it comes to wealth distribution and economic welfare

but when it comes down to women and their choice on delivering a child that may or may not harm their life...it seems they are all for government getting its nose into people's business

I support planned parenthood -- it is a wonderful organization looking out for women everywhere.

I support safe and legal abortion. My body, my choice.

This ad is crap womens choice is ok, but not the rights of the unborn. Kiss my ass sean james & joyner.

Thank you gentlemen for standing up for women. I just watched Budd Greenspan's show about the 1984 Olympics. Watching Al Joyner speak of his late mother was very emotional and I'm sure she would be proud that he is taking a stand for women's rights.

@WhiteFlowerLei76 So because a child MIGHT not get adopted, you'd rather kill it instead? Makes sense to me...........

When we start telling grown women what they can do with their bodies, that's the day we start a dangerous slide back into a dark history. Women are not walking incubators, they are human beings. They have a choice about how their bodies will operate and when.

@WhiteFlowerLei76 The poor and neglected children are, in your opinion, "unwanted". Why don't we abort them so they don't grow up to be criminals? (Pro-choice arguments are lame.)

@remshot1998 where did you get villification of tebow's mom for her choice from? i thought that this was respectful of her decision. she obviously made the right decision for her which is wonderful. this ad seems to just be advocating respect for a woman's choice independent of what that choice is. the issues that other groups have with the tebow ad seem to have more to do with only having one side represented at such a widely-viewed event when they wouldn't show a pro-gay marriage ad previously

@dave4248 It's "pro-women" and "anti-ignorance".
