This is not the time, nor the place to show such things. Family values?

One of the US's most prominent anti-abortion activists, Randall Terry, is attempting to exploit US election law to force television stations in dozens of cities to air graphic ads featuring aborted foetuses during next month's Super Bowl.
The ad he plans to run includes graphic pictures of a black man hanging from a tree, murdered victims of the Holocaust and of aborted babies. "The slaughter of babies by abortion. This is murder. President Obama perpetuates this massacre," it says.
I have mixed feelings about this. I think it's highly inappropriate, but at the same time I'm a strong supporter of freedom of speech. I'm just not sure what restrictions should be placed on that right.
I have not seen the ad so I cannot judge. However, the wonderful thing about TV is that no one puts a gun to your temple and forces you to watch it. No one forces children to watch television without parental supervision either.
Last I knew murder was not a family value. So why is bringing attention to a murder problem inappropriate in regard to the OP's claim about "family values"? Why are Progressives against free speech that disagrees with their viewpoints?
It doesn't need to run during the superbowl. He's running on a pro life platform apparently.
And Obama runs on a pro-abortion/pro-war platform if actions count for anything. Yet, he'll no doubt get his "free" airtime promo immediately preceding the game as he has every year since taking office. Double standard?

Reason: typo
So this is a attack on the President who has nothing to do with Abortion laws. Why doesn't he attack the US Supreme Court judges that made Roe V Wade the law of the land?
And Obama runs on a pro-abortion/pro wart platform if actions count for anything. Yet, he'll no doubt get his "free" airtime promo immediately preceding the game as he has every year since taking office. Double standard?
Obama is running a pro choice or wart advert during the superbowl?
None of that garbage belongs on during the superbowl.
Just stupid car commercials, beer commercials, soda commercials, snack commercials.

As I recall, Randall Terry advocates killing people who work in clinics that perform abortions (bombings, murders, etc.). Don't believe Obama suggests we kill murdering "pro-lifers", or even limit their freedom of speech.
As to your first paragraph, I have two words for you: "wardrobe malfunction".

Ever try learning the meaning of the very simple word C-H-O-I-C-E ? What is so difficult about that simple concept?
