Google just made big changes to their ABORTION advertising after Democrats complain about pro-life advertisers…

Google is doing their part to make sure women who want abortions aren’t stymied by pro-life organizations trying to save both mother and baby from the nightmare of the abortion industry:

CHRISTIAN POST – Internet giant Google has initiated a new policy requiring pro-life pregnancy centers and abortion clinics to get “clearance” before they can advertise through the search engine.

Health clinics and organizations that want to run ads through Google using keywords relating to abortion in the United States and the United Kingdom now must first be “certified” by the left-leaning tech giant “as an advertiser that either provides abortions or does not provide abortions.”

“If you are not certified, you won’t be able to run ads using keywords related to getting an abortion,” the company said in an announcement of its new policy.

According to Google, an advertiser will be considered one that provides abortions only if they provide abortions at their own facilities. These would include advertisers such as hospitals, abortion clinics or physicians offices.

Meanwhile, Google will consider an advertiser to be a non-provider if they don’t provide abortions at their own facilities.

In other words, Google will use this certification process to determine whether an advertiser actually performs abortions and will label them as such. Thereby preventing pro-life family counseling centers from reaching women who are looking to get an abortion.

So why all of the sudden changes? Democrats complained about pro-life advertisers…

Google’s announcement comes days after receiving complaints from Democratic lawmakers about the impact that pro-life crisis pregnancy centers, which try to encourage women not to abort their unborn babies, are having through Google advertising.

The policy change comes as abortion activists have complained for years about how Google enables “deceptive” pro-life crisis pregnancy centers to advertise as if they were an abortion provider.

Google’s new policy directly followed a report from the U.K. news outlet The Guardian that stated that Google awarded up to $150,000 in free advertising to the California-based pro-life organization Orbia Group, an entity that operates a network of clinics funded by Catholic organizations.

Last week, Democrat Reps. Carolyn B. Maloney of New York and Suzanne Bonamici of Oregon sent a letter to Google, demanding that the platform remove advertisements promoting what they called “fake clinics.”

“Google should be well aware of the deceptive advertising practices of these types of organizations,” the lawmakers wrote. “Your company previously took numerous actions to remove advertisements for crisis pregnancy centers because they violate Google’s internal advertising policy.”

I get the ‘truth in advertising’ argument, but the only reason this is even an issue is because Democrats want to keep pro-life groups from reaching these women.

And of course Google is accommodating them just like they did on Youtube when someone complained about all of the pro-life videos coming up when someone searched for abortion videos.
