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.

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.

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

[trekgeek1]

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.

[Long Lee]

Then don't eat eggs. I hope you are vegan!

I have ended a pregnancy and I have also borne a child. My body, my choice. Don't believe in abortion, don't have one.

I stand for the rights of women everywhere, including my daughter, and I VOTE.

[Bill Barnett]

Do I think a woman should carry a pregnant to full term yes but not if the woman is sick and can't because of the woman's illegal. I'm sorry if you think that my thonk is wrong or right. And limit the government on abortion rights.

[fluffynoses]

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

[KGriffin1001]

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

[36maxkolbe]

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

[petulia67]

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.

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