Pro-life Charity Sues Google Over Anti-abortion Advert

A pro-life charity is suing Google over the internet company’s refusal to display its anti-abortion advert.

The Christian Institute wanted to pay Google so that when the word “abortion” was typed into the search engine, a link to a web page on its views popped up on the right hand side of the screen. The link would have read: “UK abortion law - news and views on abortion from the Christian Institute”, and users could click on it to access the website.

However, Google has a policy of declining sites which mix topics like abortion with religious views and it refused the request. A spokesman for Google advertising said: “At this time, Google policy does not permit the advertisement of websites that contain abortion and religion-related content.”

The Christian Institute has started legal action against Google on the grounds that it is infringing the Equality Act 2006 by discriminating against Christian groups.

It's getting to the point where Christianity may have to be classified as a mental health disorder, given the way these idiots think.

Christian Institute, I suggest you call on all Christians to boycott Google. Let's see how well that works for you.

It goes on to explain how this applies to local authorities, schools, and so on; organisations whose main purpose is religion are allowed to discriminate in certain ways (eg they can refuse to accept as a member someone who doesn't hold their beliefs), but commericial organisations, eg Google, can't.
