An Illinois newspaper recently refused to run any of these ads, to be paid for by the Will County Right to Life; the ad department said the newspaper would not run them because they were “too graphic.” What makes these ads so “graphic?” Apparently, the fact that they show sonogram pictures, or, more accurately, that they are pro-life.
Hey, the newspaper has the right to run or not run any ads they choose, but I hope that businesses in the area remember the newspaper’s “choice” to refuse these ads when they “choose” where they’ll buy advertising.
I wonder why you newspapers refuse to print the truth? You are supposed to be non-biased and print what other people will pay for to be printed? We will find a way to get peoples attention either through stopping reading your newspaper or
by sending out through the mail -which is a bettter way to reach people. This way =we are not censored by your baby killing gang of editors.

Actually, a privately owned newspaper should be allowed to print or not print any ads it chooses. By the same token, people like you or me, who believe the ads should have been printed, have the right to choose whether we will buy the newspapers or place advertisements in them.
While I certainly disagree with the editor’s choice not to print these ads, calling the editors a “baby killing gang” is simply name-calling, and really not useful in winning the war of ideas.

Wow, why are they afraid to print these adds? They are truthful and enlightening. Very tasteful and well done. Keep trying, I think it is only a matter of time and pressure by pro lifers through the pocket book, which will change their minds. God will change their hearts.
