Randall Terry's anti-abortion ads won't air in Colorado
DENVER — Graphic TV ads for anti-abortion activist Randall Terry, both a self-proclaimed lifelong Republican and 2012 Democratic presidential candidate, won't be airing during the Super Bowl in Colorado, local stations say.
Hoping to take advantage of an FCC rule against censorship of political ads within 45 days of a presidential primary or caucus, Terry said he purchased ad time before and during Sunday's big game in 11 markets, including Grand Junction NBC affiliate KKCO.
In the last week, however, KKCO has determined that Terry isn't considered a bona fide Democratic candidate by the Colorado Democratic Party, station General Sales Manager Stacey Smith said, "in which case we opted not to accept the ads."
Terry, now based in Washington, D.C., is the founder of Operation Rescue and other anti-abortion organizations. He wants to run Super Bowl ads picturing aborted fetuses because, he said, "the testimony of their mangled bodies" might make people who support abortion rights "come to their senses."
