Lol, thats ridiculos. Google has the right to put up any advert. it wants.

Its like as if a porn site came to this website and asked us to put up a porn ad....namepros would decline, and the porn website would sue lol.

(above example is at a higher degree lol)

But ye, google reserves the right to put up any ad it likes.

Where do these religious groups get off? They have no say in how companies want to run their businesses. I hope this gets tossed out of court pronto!

If google takes ads FOR abortion (sic) , then they should take anti-abortion ads as well.

As a company I believe they have the right to advertise
however they see fit. If I strongly believe in .mobi does
that mean google has to advertise it? They have the choice
to do what they feel is best for their business.

Thats Rediclous.

Publishers reserve the right to accept or decline advertising. It's always - ALWAYS been this way.
I agree with the POV that if they sell space to Pro abortion advertisers, that they have a moral obligation to sell space to the con abortion advertisers as well. In the end though, it's up to Google's discretion as to what they want their company/sites/projects associated with. (Google's decisions based on moral and ethics are not known to be free of error)
Be that as it may, they have to accept the repercussions of the message that they're sending, as advertisers meet their approval - in this case, pro abortion is in - pro life is out.

I agree totally with you. Whats good for the goose should be good for the gander!

Why only allow a one-sided view. Thats totally un-democratic. I hope that Christian group wins and wins big, to show the Big G that they are not Allmighty God!
