“We want to take a moment to tell you about a graphic political ad you may have seen airing on ABC stations.

The ad is for anti-abortion rights advocate and presidential candidate Randall Terry and features graphic images of aborted fetuses.

By law, our TV stations must air the ad. According to the Federal Communication Commission, broadcast stations are "prohibited from censoring or rejecting political ads that are paid for and sponsored by legally qualified candidates."

Terry will be on the ballot in at least 12 states so he has met criteria to be considered legally qualified nationally.”


Have you seen this ad. It does indeed “feature graphic images of aborted fetuses”. It says that abortion advocates, to include Kamala Harris, are conducting a war against black people with their approval of and inclusion of the abortions of black women, who are more likely as a percentage to get an abortion. Have you seen it? It would be against forum rules to show it here. Do you think it will be effective in changing votes?
 
"prohibited from censoring or rejecting political ads that are paid for and sponsored by legally qualified candidates."

What about porn?

Doesn't say, is the guy a member of a party or an independant?
 
Anti-abortionists have shown images of aborted fetus on the street, in the faces of women seeking an abortions.

Clearly it's within their free speech rights.

I think an effective response would be the show photographs of dead women, who were denied abortions.

Yeah, I don't think ads with porn are going to air.

It's fundamental to US culture: murder and death are OK (even when kids can see it) but tits and minge are a no-go.

This is so psychotic and its a lie.

Got a link to the ad?

I've seen anti-smoking ads that are pretty graphic too. Diseased lungs and people taking with throat mics.

No link. The articles did not link it because it was too graphic. Maybe check the name of who is sponsoring it and find his website.

So it's too graphic for the internet, but not too much for broadcast TV? Okaaay.

I Youtubed it but can't find it.

I will reserve judgement until I watch it, assuming viewing it does not cause me to go all Raiders of the Lost Ark.

How many dead women as opposed to aborted fetuses that wouldn't have killed the mother, but were simply aborted out of convenience?

Too graphic for DP. They have rules about that.
 
People may have forgotten what an extremist misogynist Randall Terry is. He hates women and believes it's a man's role to command and control them. To him, a woman's only role is to produce children, even against their will, and keep their mouths shut. He's as close to a real world monster as exists. His view are as extreme as Fred Phelps and his Westboro Baptist hate group.
