As part of an out-of-court settlement with a British Christian organization, Google agreed Wednesday to display anti-abortion ads purchased by religious groups. Google says it will allow religious associations to place ads on abortion in a "factual" way.


In April, The Christian Institute took legal action against the Internet search giant when Google did not approve an abortion-related ad with the text:

UK Abortion law
Key views and news on abortion law from The Christian Institute
xxx.christian.org.uk

At the time, Google said its policy did not permit the advertisement of Web sites that contain "abortion and religion-related content."

Arguing that it was being treated differently because of its religious beliefs, the institute filed a lawsuit against Google under the U.K. Equality Act 2006, a law that prohibits religious discrimination.

Instead of continuing to fight the case in the court, Google reviewed its abortion ads policy and agreed to revise its policy.

edited the www in the web address in the article to xxx so it wouldn't auto link.

1. Just how factual can 'God doesn't like abortions' be exactly?

Will God appear in the ads?
