Heisman Trophy Winner Was
Almost Aborted

 

'Because of her strong Christian faith, she chose life.'

If doctors had had their way, Heisman Trophy winner Tim Tebow wouldn't be here today.

Pam Tebow, mother of the Florida Gators quarterback, was given drugs to counter amoebic dysentery she had contracted as a missionary in the Philippines.

“They were telling her that these drugs were going to cause irreversible damage, that he was going to have devastating disabilities," said J.T. Finn, director of Pro Life America. "Because of her strong Christian faith, she chose life, and that makes her an incredible hero.”

The annual Heisman Trophy is awarded to the best player in college football.

Former New York Giant Chris Godfrey shudders to think of the millions of Tim Tebows who aren't here today.

“You just have to wonder how many good things did not come into our world," he said, "because of our unwillingness to say ‘Yes’ and to trust in God."
