‘Every single life matters to God’: Tim Tebow declares at virtual 48th annual March for Life
By: By Michael Gryboski, Christian Post Reporter
I stand tall with the bi partisan pro life movement and the March for life. Pre born rights to simply exist are the most trampled upon and abused human rights on the earth today. Those who virtually attended and spoke at these people life events around the country are doing Gods work in the face of ultimate evil. Their words are right on and I’m glad that Fox News, NewsMax Tv, OANN, C-SPAN and others covered this righteous event and the evil it confronts.

Notable pro-life figures, including state lawmakers from both major political parties and former NFL quarterback Tim Tebow, gave remarks at the first-ever virtual March for Life event on Friday.
For the first time in its 48-year history, the March for Life was held virtually due to the coronavirus pandemic. Last year, the annual March for Life occurred weeks before the first nationwide shutdowns began in late March.
Tebow gave a speech before the online audience, speaking about his mother’s decision not to abort him while he was in the womb despite major pregnancy complications.
“I’m so grateful my mom gave me a chance at life, because many times she could have made the choice to do something different,” said Tebow. “But because of her pro-life story, I get to share my story.”
“I do believe that every single life matters to God,” Tebow declared, noting that Jesus Christ “had a mission" and "that mission was a rescue mission for us.”
“That mission was to come down to this Earth and go to the cross, and defeat death, and overcome the world," Tebow said.
“When Jesus was going to the cross, what was the joy set before Him? It was you. It was me. It was us being made right with His death. It was us having life and life abundantly.”
Democratic lawmaker Angie Hatton, who serves as the Kentucky House Minority Whip, also spoke at the virtual event, explaining that she votes in the legislature “to protect unborn life.”
“I’m proud that my state is a national leader in legislation that protects the unborn,” said Hatton. “I believe we need a bipartisan effort to end abortion, but not just by outlawing it, but also by eliminating the reasons women seek abortions in the first place.
“When we make access to healthcare so difficult that only the wealthy get to be healthy, when we don’t pay working mothers a living wage, and when we don’t support families struggling with affordable childcare and preschool, when we don’t adequately fund foster care and adoption services and social services, we drive up the number of women who feel that they have no choice but to seek an abortion.”
Other notable figures who gave remarks virtually included former New England Patriot and author Benjamin Watson and his wife, who also attended the march in Washington; Rep. Chris Smith, R-N.J.; Hawaii state Sen. Mike Gabbard, who's also the father of former Rep. Tulsi Gabbard; and Pastor J.D. Greear, who is reportedly the first Southern Baptist Convention president to speak at a March for Life event.
Contemporary Christian singer Matthew West sang the national anthem at the start of the program and then performed some of his own music throughout the event.
Jeanne Mancini, president of the March for Life Education and Defense Fund, gave introductory remarks, explaining that this year's theme was “together strong, life unites.”
“Our theme is meant not only to highlight the unity of our cause, but to also highlight the destructive and divisive reality of abortion,” said Mancini.
Mancini cited examples of this destruction, such as abortion “divides a mother from her child,” “divides a man from his fatherhood,” and “abortion divides the world from love.”
“Every tiny child brings love into the world. Every life lost to abortion is a loss of love in this world,” she continued. “Abortion divides us from our world and reality.”
Following a closing prayer by Cissie Graham Lynch, the livestream cut to Washington, D.C., where a small number of selected pro-life leaders performed the traditional march.
The march comes days after the inauguration of President Joe Biden, who has already taken to advancing pro-abortion initiatives and reversing former President Donald Trump's pro-life actions.

And now for a few words from Yorkshire ...
who? oh yeah, I'm from denver and at first I didn't recognize the name. he's the has-been bible thumper that couldn't throw a NFL football, get off his knees when there was a camera around, and helped the networks institute the 3 second limit of brainless bible blabber audio before cutting away.
Yeah, the only thing he really did was get people's hopes up for a second and then let them down in hilarious fashion. This is a pretty accurate description of his career:

that seems to be a re-occuring theme, or an acceptable common denominator, among the mentally challenged religious wackos.
I was going to call him a has been but I think you actually have to have been first.
You know, except for all those people who die due to things like hurricanes, earthquakes, disease, murder, and are victims of things like rape, human trafficking etc. God just doesn't seem to care about them enough to, you know, do something about it. But a small clump of cells, well shit, THAT is a priority.
Maga, you always forget that a woman is a fully formed, living, breathing human being and as such has full personal autonomy. That is the bottom line and the last word in these stupid arguments.
only in thumperville is the prototype better than the production version.
What?
Nope.
A child who dies in infancy does not go through puberty. That's a stage of human development.
A fetus that is aborted, either spontaneously or therapeutically, does not go through all stages of human development.
A fetus that dies during delivery doesn't even develop to the same extent as a days-old newborn.
You're demonstrably, even laughably, wrong on this one.
Glad you understood what he was trying to say. It was just nonsensical bullshit to me.
Si that means she can kill a developing human being jus because it is inconvenient to let it live and grow. If she didn't want a baby she should not have crawled into the sack.
or allowed herself to be drugged or raped...
Or her birth control shouldn't have failed. Or her life circumstances shouldn't have changed. Or she shouldn't have realized that she is not ready to care for a child.
Dude, before its brain has developed and it can live outside the womb, who fucking cares? It is a living human ONLY via the most basic definition of being alive and that it is indeed human DNA. There is no one home if there isn't a brain developed enough for cognitive function.
Read my post again.
Well said. Unfortunately some cannot (or will not) grasp the simplest concepts.
They are emotionally invested. Or they are just idiots.
Yes! If she so chooses!
Who cares? Really none of your business anyway.
Or both! Perhaps a little more the latter than the former.

No, it doesn't. Such development persists throughout much of gestation.
Wrong! That is pro-life propaganda misinformation, as well as a pathetic attempt to make an appeal to emotion. A fetus does not have the thalamus and cortex parts of the brain (which is still undergoing development-not as soon as you like to believe) sufficiently developed to receive or perceive pain. According to the JAMA (A credible and renowned scientific journal), the fetal brain is not capable of pain reception until 29-30 weeks (3rd trimester) gestation. The Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists also agrees with the JAMA findings regarding fetal pain perception. At that point of gestation, elective abortions are not performed. So science outright proves your statements to be false! Not to mention they are intentionally misleading, which is as good as lying!
The anti-choice side doesn't seem to understand basic embryology or cytology. At conception, it's just a zygote-a single undifferentiated cell. There's no "human life" and a cell does not have "humanity. That's just stupid! The anti-choice side also doesn't understand (or is willfully ignorant) that the "life" aspect of the abortion argument is irrelevant and is not a reasonable basis on which to pass abortion laws. It's just emotional drivel. It's no wonder the anti-choicers have mostly consistently lost on the abortion issue in the courts over the decades.
