There is a woman running for the US House of Representatives in DC SOLELY on the anti-abortion platform. Her ads feature photos of aborted fetuses. Thankfully I haven't seen any of the ads, but they are being played at all times of the day. I am so disgusted by this - is there anything I can even do about it, though?
Re: s/o political ads (warning - graphic)
That is hideous. Is there a huge uproar about it?
One of the trucks came through our town a few months back and parked in from of my little sister's elementary school. I was so mad, little kids don't need to see that.

I read about this on CNN yesterday. Unfortunately the TV stations have to play the adds because she is a Federal Candidate and they are not allowed to censor Federal political adds. Apparently if she was just running for a local office they could.
It's really disgusting, many people are saying she is only running to be able to get these adds on TV.

First of all, that's disgusting - whatever side of the issue anyone is on. I don't think you can do anything about it. Near the PP in the major city near me, they put up all sorts of graphic billboard ads that are anti-abortion. To each their own, right? Except that the billboards face the front of the Children's museum that's on the same block.
