Cape Girardeau, Missouri CBS affiliate KFVS and other stations like WISC and WKOW in Wisconsin are telling viewers the Federal Communications Commission is requiring them to broadcast a paid political ad from anti-abortion-rights activist Randall Terry who is running for president.
The ad is paid for by the Terry for President campaign. Terry is the presidential candidate for the Constitution Party. He is on the ballot in 13 states.
The anti-abortion advertisement is 30 seconds and displays images of aborted fetuses.
