Tim Tebow Super Bowl ad: much ado about nothing?

Cyd Zeigler Jr. at OutSports writes:

What were they thinking? The Focus on the Family ad that aired during the Super Bowl aimed at fighting abortion instead promoted domestic violence with Tim Tebow tackling his mother. When it aired, everyone at the party looked at each other with a “what in hell did I just see” look.

Okay, does her son tackling her represent a man trying to force a woman to have an abortion, or force her not to have an abortion? Or is it a reference to incest? Or was the commercial supposed to have been created by someone with so-called Post Abortion Stress Syndrome? Or what? One of the advantages of free speech is that it gives people the chance to demonstrate how disturbed they are.
