Whoa what’s this, a ?
has pulled an from its buses and shelters in after complaints from the public.
The ad, funded by the as part of a national campaign, appeared on at least two buses in the N.L. capital that were used as traveling billboards before it was withdrawn.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 because there’s no evidence that are common.
I love it - the ad is totally misleading
in Newfoundland and Labrador, abortions cannot be done after 15 weeks unless there are medical complications. In other provinces, it’s up to 20 weeks.
Ah good old Canadian liberalism
Anti-abortion groups have been working to get the ads shown in other Canadian communities to mark the anniversary, but at least two cities, including Fredericton and Hamilton, have rejected them.
I love it - the frikken aren’t getting their way - Canadians are not as easily pushed around as Americans are.
