Yahoo Pulls Pro-Life Ads From Abortion Clinic Searches

Matthew 19:18 ESV “And Jesus said, “You shall not murder…”

Editor’s Note: Throughout the scriptures, God has made it clear that shedding innocent blood is murder, and no murderer will enter heaven. In addition to the death of the unborn baby, abortion also substantially harms the women and many times, families, husbands, boyfriends and a whole sphere of relationships connected to and surrounding each abortion. Often, lifelong guilt and other social, relational, spiritual and even physical problems follow the murder of innocent babes in the womb. Pastor Jim Bakker believes that this issue, abortion, may be the single most significant issue that brings God’s judgment on this nation more than any other.

Yahoo has followed the lead of Google in making sure women who are considering abortion do not see pro-life options in advertising.

Anti-life groups like NARAL Pro-Choice America filed complaints with Yahoo because ads for pro-life organizations and crisis pregnancy centers would appear when women were searching for abortion clinics.   The anti-life groups want to make sure that women seeking an abortion find no other alternative to ending their baby’s life.

“We have found at least some of the ads to be out of compliance with our policies and we are taking them down,” a Yahoo spokesman told CNET. “We’re in the process of reviewing the other ads and will take similar action if any are found to not be in compliance with our policies.”

Anti-life advocates were overjoyed that the choice of giving babies the chance to live was being removed.

“We are pleased that Yahoo has confirmed that some of these deceptive crisis pregnancy center ads violate their advertising policies and stated that they will remove them so that women can continue to trust the search engine for accurate information,” NARAL president Ilyse Hogue said in a statement. “Women making this personal, medical decision should have comprehensive resources and accurate information. … We will work with Yahoo to pinpoint the ads that are masquerading as abortion clinics so they are promptly taken down when they appear.”
