Tim Tebow Closes National Prayer Breakfast in Prayer, But Obama Leaves
Washington, DC (LifeNews.com) -- The following is the text and video of pro-life college football player Tim Tebow closing the national prayer breakfast in prayer. Tebow appeared at the event in an ironic contrast to pro-abortion President Barack Obama as the nation awaits a Super Bowl story about how his mother spared him from abortion.
Tebow was introduced by Senator Johnny Isakson, of Georgia, as "A role model for the youth of America."
He joked that he found it funny a fan of the University of Georgia would invite a former member of the Florida Gators to present the prayer.
Tebow joked, "It is rather incredible that a Georgia Bulldog invited a Florida Gator, so you can see the hand of God here."
Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, who also attended the event, spoke of her own preference of adoption over abortion and told the story of opening a home for the children of unwanted pregnancies after a visit from Mother Teresa.
Reports indicate Obama left shortly beore Tebow's prayer -- and the video of his prayer shows Tebow not mentioning Obama. Ref. Source 6
