NARAL, pregnancy centres and "misleading advertising"

A little update from Nancy Keenan, president of NARAL (which stands for National Abortion Rights Action League, if memory serves me correctly.) NARAL wants pro-life pregnancy centers removed from online directories like Superpages and Yellow. Freedom of speech, anyone? The excuse is, of course, that these "anti-choice" pregnancy centers are coercing women with false information about abortions. They're calling it "advertising fraud against women". Hmm, sounds to me more like an attempt to eliminate any threat to their interests. Anyway, like I've said before, don't take my word for it- here are some pertinent links.

[Edit: NARAL originally stood for National Association for Repeal of Abortion Laws, then changed to National Abortion Rights Action League, and is now National Abortion and Reproductive Rights Action League.]
