Shutting Up Pro-Lifers

Frightening story from Canada:

Metrobus has pulled an anti-abortion advertisement from its buses and shelters in St. John's after complaints from the public.

The ad, funded by the Right to Life Association as part of a national campaign, appeared on at least two buses in the N.L. capital that were used as travelling billboards before it was withdrawn.

Critics said the ad gave the impression that late-term abortions are common in Canada.

The ad reads: "Nine months… the length of time an abortion is allowed in Canada. Abortion. Have we gone too far?"

Metrobus removed it Thursday night, saying the ad was misleading because there's no evidence that late-term abortions are common.

They didn't SAY late-term abortions are common; and anyway, are the censorious pro-choicers admitting there's something wrong with late-term abortion? Tsk tsk. Not surprising in the land where Ezra Levant and Mark Steyn can get prosecuted for "human rights" violations; it's not about whether what you said is true, it's how it makes people feel.

Couldn't happen here, though, right? Of course it could. Taxpayer-funded Planned Parenthood Golden Gate is doing it right now, trying to get pro-life radio ads thrown off the air. Jill Stanek has a picture of the ad.

JYB tailwag: LGF's linkviewer for the first, Dawn Eden for the second. Dawn has more on PPGG here, and more about PPGG workers possibly concealing a statutory rape here. (That last sentence edited slightly for clarity.)
