(AP) --  Women's groups are calling on CBS to scrap a
planned Super Bowl ad featuring college football star Tim Tebow and
his mother, which critics say is likely to convey an anti-abortion
message.
 

A protest letter sent to CBS says the ad "uses sports to divide
rather than to unite." The National Organization for Women is
among the groups backing the protest.

 A spokesman says CBS approved the script and gave no indication
the protest would have an impact.
 

The Christian group Focus on the Family paid for the 30-second
ad. It's expected to recount the story of Pam Tebow's pregnancy in
1987. After getting sick on a mission trip to the Philippines, she
ignored doctors' recommendations to have an abortion and gave birth
to Tim.

 The Heisman Trophy winner has led Florida to two BCS titles.
