More on Focus on the Family and Tim Tebow
Yesterday, I posted on the Tim Tebow commercial which will air during the Superbowl – and while I had no problems with it, I questioned the ability of the organization’s money management. A kind commenter pointed us towards a press release about the situation.

College football superstar Tim Tebow is standing fast behind a pro-life ad developed by Focus on the Family and set to air on CBS on Super Bowl Sunday. Although the ad has not been released, abortion advocacy groups are already demanding that it be scrapped, since it likely features the story of how Tebow’s mother chose life when doctors were urging her abort her now-famous son.

Evangelical leader Dobson leaving radio show
James Dobson, the voice of conservative Christian group Focus on the Family since its inception, is leaving the organization’s flagship daily radio broadcast.
Focus on the Family spokesman Gary Schneeberger says Dobson will go off the air at the end of February. He said Friday it was a mutual decision of Dobson and the board, and that more details are forthcoming.
Dobson, 73, a strong voice in conservative Christian politics, has taken on a reduced role at Focus on the Family as part of a succession plan. He resigned as president in 2003, and as board chairman in February.
The evangelical group recently laid off staff because of a decline in donations.

Focus on the Family drops ex-gay program, faces budget shortfall
Focus on the Family, James Dobson’s anti-LGBT empire and the largest organization in the religious right, announced earlier this week that it would be selling off its ex-gay therapy program called “Love Won Out.” The organization says it’s part of an effort to downsize in the wake of record profit losses of nearly $6 million.

Murder in the Name of Christ: 21st Century Edition (Prince Erik Prince)

Well, I attempt to at least. Today, the Nation broke a story which may or may not interest us, but is certainly worth noting – especially for the play it will get in the Islamic areas:

Focus on the Family Praises Obama on Adoption Concern
Conservative pro-family group Focus on the Family gave unexpected praise to the Obama administration this week for their concern on adoption.
Kelly Rosati, adoptive mother of four and senior director of Focus on the Family’s Sanctity of Human Life department, was among those who attended the White House Office of Faith-Based and Neighborhood Partnerships event for adoption leaders on Wednesday.
She praised the Obama administration for “really listening” and for wanting to know from those “on the front lines what could be better done to serve the kids in America’s foster care system,” according to FOTF’s CitizenLink.com.
No, seriously, it happened. Adoption, for me, is a large part of the pro-life movement. I believe that if we were to make adoptions easier – less expensive – it would help, in some small way to ease the abortion numbers.
