GRANDE PRAIRIE, Alta. — An abortion rights group is hailing a court ruling that says a city in northwest Alberta has the legal right to refuse to run a graphic anti-abortion ad on its transit buses.

The ad proposed by the Canadian Centre for Bio-Ethical Reform (CCBR) included pictures of fetuses and the words "Abortion kills children. End the killing."

Justice C. S. Anderson of Court of Queen's Bench ruled against CCBR's application to quash the decision by the City of Grande Prairie.

Good. I don't think graphic images belong on the sides of buses. I'd say the same about anti animal cruelty ads.

Ironically, many of those who support these ads have conniptions at ads showing same sex couples and say children shouldn't see them. They don't seem to care about children seeing these ads, though.

Can't have any honesty on this topic in Canada, after all. :roll:

Funny. I had always thought the Canadians were cool with freedom of expression. Of course, there is this thing about the place having slithered into liberalism. But I used to think highly of the Canadians.
 
On city buses paid forcwith taxpayer money?

Nothing disgusting should be on public buses or spaces for that matter.

Well I have no clue how it works up there but to me going off american law this is a really simple issue.

If the ad is vulgar or obscene or to graphic then it can't be run in public. Doesn't matter what the ad is about the decision is based on those criteria and in america banning ads for those reasons is nothing new. From violence, to blood display, to nudity to feminine products etc. :shrug:

Seems like a legit win to me but like I said I dont know anything about canada.
 
Yeah, I don't want to see graphic imagery on public transportation, be it an aborted fetus or a removed appendix. Yuck.

Yeah....you know, ....i have a very hard time believing you people any more. Every day here all of you start sounding more weirder by the moment.

You hate laws that protect and love the ones that cause death. I have no idea how on earth.all of you chose death. But then you go and compare the plight of gays to the plight of babies being killed.. They may really have their own problems but to compare their almost insignificant (by comparison) problems, or to a woman in pain and also suffering, to dying (pardon my disgust) for a woman to have her life so she can party and have fun at fun pretty dumb.

Women live, gays live, but babies must always die. All of you really know how to show your compassion. Don't you?

Yeah ignoring meltdowns and derails I don't really see the issue. "Abortion" really has nothing to do with it.

All of "US"... So you're not an American? Are you perhaps looking at us form Jupiter?

What's with "all of you"?

What a load of crap. Women die in child birth. They die during pregnancy. They die due to pregnancy related post partum issues.

Gays live? How the hell does that relate?

And babies must always die? Stop lying.
