Watching the Superbowl this year? Some cities should get ready to see a graphic anti-abortion ad from Randall Terry -- who is challenging President Obama’s Democratic nomination. Here’s a clip from Terry’s Iowa campaign ad to serve as an introduction.

“The slaughter of unborn babies, defying the commandments of God, who will stop this mad man? ... I’m asking your vote in the Iowa caucus against Obama. I can defeat him here if you put principle ahead of party.”

But the ad Terry is paying to have air in dozens of cities around the country is far more graphic than that one. We’ve chosen not to show it to you because of its content -- the ad shows several dead fetuses and body parts.

Anti-abortion ads have been turned down in the past, but the reason Terry’s will pass is a loophole in the FCC’s rules that allows such ads to air if they are endorsed by a candidate for federal office.

And The Washington Post speculates Terry is making the most of that loophole -- meaning he doesn’t seem to be seriously considering a presidential run.

“Terry launched a non-serious campaign for president late last year so that he would be able to run gruesome ads of dead fetuses in key primary states.”

The ad is sparking intense debate. The Guardian says

“Terry is a remarkable man, in that he is so unpleasant, so mean-spirited and so fanatical in his egotistical anti-choice activism ...”

And some TV stations are even speaking out. KYTV, which will air the ad, posted on its site:

"‘If Randall Terry was a normal advertiser, this ad would not air.  It doesn't meet the community standards that we've established,’ said KY3 Inc. General Manager Brian McDonough

But a writer for the Bleacher Report says everyone -- pro-life or not -- should keep opinions out of football.

“ … We all have a right to our views. … My issue is that they should keep the political posturing out of the Super Bowl. … For one day—one beautiful, pigskin-oriented day—can't we just take a break from the politics?”

Terry says he has purchased air time in 13 markets -- including cities in Oklahoma, Colorado, Kentucky and Missouri. He chose the markets based on where he felt the ads would have the most impact.
