From the author: In September 1996 a federal appeals court ruled that broadcasters cannot refuse daytime or prime time television federal candidates' political advertisements containing abortion images. Broadcasters argued the advertisements were harmful to children and, thus, should be restricted. This article explores this public interest dilemma involving two competing interests: the concern for the welfare of children and the public interest in informed political debate. This article also discusses implications of the court decision.
