Get Dead Fetuses Out of the Superbowl!

It's generally agreed that images of bloody fetuses are not appropriate for prime time, but vehement pro-lifer Randall Terry has figured out a way to shove those gruesome images at Superbowl viewers.



Terry has declared himself a presidential candidate, though he has about as much chance at the White House as Vermont's Vermin Supreme. FCC guidelines say that presidential candidates have the right to advertise on TV in advance of a primary, and those candidates can run pretty much anything they like. This nifty loophole allows Terry to run graphic pro-life images during the Super Bowl.



Tell the FCC not to let this happen. Tell them to enforce rules against such graphic imagery and not to let Randall Terry exploit a loophole that is intended to promote democracy.





read petition letter ▾ We the undersigned respectfully ask that you not let Randall Terry get away with running photos of bloody fetuses during the Super Bowl. He is not a serious presidential candidate and should not be exploiting a loophole that allows him to force his agenda on the public at large. Millions of people will tune in to the Super Bowl, and they deserve to watch the game in peace without being assaulted by Terry's right wing politics. Terry's campaign to ruin the Super Bowl makes Janet Jackson's breast look like an episode on Sesame Street.
