In Britain, a settlement has been reached in the suit against Google brought by the Christian Institute. Professional Fundraising reports today that under the terms of the confidential settlement Google affiliate AdWords will change its policy that led it to reject pro-life ads that would appear when a user Googled the word "abortion". Non-religious groups could place ads relating to abortion, but the previous policy barred ads that combined abortion and religion-related content. The lawsuit claimed the policy violated the Equality Act 2006. (See prior related posting.)

What?? Aren't the people who usually defend pharmacists who refuse to distribute birth control on freedom of conscience grounds going to defend Google too? The usual arguments still apply don't they?
The anti-choice crowd could just take their advertisements somewhere else. Google wasn't infringing on their ability to advertise.
Come on you guys! Where are you now?
