Thirteen months ago I reported on pro-life activist Randall Terry’s dream to run for U.S. president strictly so as to air graphic abortion ads during Super Bowl XLVI on February 5, 2012.

And by golly if Terry isn’t going to do it.

Terry has secured ad time in 35 NBC metropolitan media markets to date and is working on more. These are:

Arkansas: Fort Smith/Rogers
Colorado: Denver, Colorado Springs/Pueblo, Grand Junction
Hawaii: Hilo, Honolulu, Wailuku
Illinois: Quincy
Indiana: Fort Wayne
Maine: Bangor, Portland
Minnesota: Minneapolis
Missouri: Kansas City, Joplin, Ottumwa, St. Joseph, St. Louis, Springfield
Nevada: Elko
North Dakota: Fargo
Ohio: Cincinnati, Cleveland, Columbus, Dayton, Lima, Steubenville, Toledo, Youngstown, Zanesville
Oklahoma: Oklahoma City, Tulsa
South Dakota: Sioux Falls
Texas: Amarillo, Wichita Falls
Utah: Salt Lake City

Ads run in these media markets will reach 16 million homes, well over 35 million Americans. Due to federal law, stations are forced to run ads by federal candidates uncensored.

Terry is drafting a new ad for the Super Bowl, but it will most closely resemble this one:
 

 
Airing graphic ads during the Super Bowl represents a unique opportunity to show a huge number Americans the truth about abortion during the one time a year they actually look forward to watching commercials rather than ignoring them. Donate to air the ads here. The more money Terry gets, the more times he can run the ad.

Terry has already run graphic abortion ads in Illinois, Iowa, Minnesota, Missouri, and Nebraska and is currently running them in Boston, Maine, and New Hampshire. And they get reaction wherever they air.

For quite some time elements of the Left have been mocking that which they think the Right holds sacred, from burning the American flag to sticking a crucifix of Jesus in urine.

Lately the The Crass Ones have landed on abortion, laughing about aborted fetus cookies and abortion Christmas ornaments while tweeting  #abortionclinicplaylistsongs.

Worse, they try to personally hurt people in the worst way possible by going after their children, such as mocking Sarah Palin for not aborting her son Trig and also mocking Rick Santorum for allowing his surviving children to grieve their deceased baby brother Gabriel.

So last week comedian Stephen Colbert thought he would one-up Sarah Silverman’s abortion humor – on steroids – by making fun of partial-birth abortion, a heinous late-term abortion procedure Rick Santorum worked hard to ban when he was U.S. senator…
 

 
Congrats, Mr. Colbert, for shocking me, harder and harder to do these days.

American Life League’s STOPP International released a significant report today listing the salaries of Planned Parenthood CEOs.

Occupy Wall Street protesters may want to move their tents over to 434 W. 33rd Street in New York City, where Planned Parenthood Federation of America headquarters are located, and where the top eight officers of this supposed nonprofit made over $2 million altogether in 2010, none less that $245,000:

Here’s a video from 2008 showing Mitt Romney flip-flopping on abortion.  According to American RTL Action:

Mitt is pro-life or pro-choice based on where he is campaigning. “Every piece of legislation that has come across my desk I’ve come down on the side of life.”  Except for Romney Health Care that pays for abortion, promotes chemical abortions with Plan B, gives Planned Parenthood a seat on the Massachusetts health advisory board, and attempts to force pro-life hospitals to dispense abortifacients.

In its January 9 e-newsletter the Issues4LifeFoundation entered the wayback machine and took us to 1971, when Rev. Jesse Jackson recited the powerful poem, “I Am Somebody” on the children’s television show, Sesame Street.

“I Am Somebody,” which Jackson elsewhere called the Black National Anthem, was written in the 1950s by Rev. William Borders, Sr.

It is particularly poignant that in 1971 Jackson was adamantly pro-life, and here he was on Sesame Street teaching little children that they may be small, and their faces and hair my be different, but they were still to be “respected, protected, never rejected.”

Here is Jackson in 1972 reciting the poem at Wattstax, again poignant in that he reminded blacks that although they might be “poor” and “unskilled,” they were still “beautiful” and “must be respected and protected.” Watch clip beginning at 1:41…

But it’s a political delusion to think Rick Santorum is a standard-bearer of authentic Catholic values in politics. In fact, on several issues central to Catholic social teaching – torture, war, immigration, climate change, the widening gap between rich and poor and workers’ rights – Santorum is radically out of step with his faith’s teachings as articulated by Catholic bishops and several popes over the centuries.
