Google Changes Policy On Abortion Advertising (photos) by Nigeriapen(m): 1:43am On May 22, 2019

U.S Tech Giant,Google will require advertisers who wish to run ads about abortion to apply for approval first, according to a change in the company’s policy.

All Advertisers in the UK, US and Ireland will need to declare whether they do or do not provide abortions.

This Implies That, information will be displayed in Google search results.

According to the policy, the changes will help users “decide which abortion-related ads are relevant to them”.

The policy change follows a report in the Guardian that found the tech giant had provided tens of thousands of dollars in free advertising to an anti-abortion group, whose ads suggest that it performs the procedure at its clinics.

Marge Berer, coordinator for the International Campaign for Women’s Right to Safe Abortion, said that identifying clinics that do not provide abortion services is “extremely important”.

Ms Berer said,”It’s a huge step forward,” “It means women will not have to be trapped into talking to someone they don’t want to talk to and be delayed in getting the services they need.”

The new policy also comes in the wake of a controversial law in Alabama, which outlaws abortion in almost all cases – including rape and incest.

Advertisers will be listed as providing abortions if they perform abortions at their own facilities, but not if they provide related services, such as abortion counselling and referrals.

Ads related to abortion on Google are currently only allowed in certain countries.

In countries where they are permitted, they are subject to additional restrictions, which may prevent them from appearing in certain regions, to certain age groups or on certain devices.

The Policy changes will come into effect in June 2019.

I believe if men had the ability to become pregnant the issue of abortion wouldn't be a topic of discussion today. There'd be abortion clinics in every barbing saloon and restaurant

i dont see abortion as a sin.its better to do away with it while its still just a blood clot than give birth to it and throw it into a dumpster or sell it.

If one is not ready to become a mother then she should masturbate than killing innocent children, and maybe if the name abortion is actually change to murder you will have a different opinion becoz they are same thing.

The socio-econimic implications of unwanted pregnancies can cripple an economy...so it's either the government legalizes abortion or force middle class to wealthy people to adopt children... undecided undecided

Some advertisements are going to lie about providing abortion service, especially the religious ones.

You keep posting this thing as a universal fact forgetting that not everybody follows your religion.

That's not necessarily true...a lot of over religious people adopt poor children, and also contribute to charities who take care of poor children


Also some of those over-religious people cannot adopt children because sometimes they don't have the cash to do so, or because adoption laws and processes are very difficult in some countries.


And let's be honest...me I can understand why abortion is necessary, but let's not pretend that it isn't the termination of a potential life. I am religious , a born again Chrstian myself, but even if I became an atheist tomorrow...I would still be anti-abortion.
