We must not confuse our authentic freedoms with license. Free speech ought not include the right to spread disinformation either explicitly or through omission. When private individuals or companies do not possess the good sense to uphold this principle by selling advertisement space to a pro-life group, it’s time for the government to step in.

Bzzzt! WRONG!!!

Everything you said sounds perfectly reasonable and it’s exactly what they say in Canada, “Free speech/freedom of religion does not include the right to spread disinformation about a woman’s right to choose.” They have already fined evangelical pastors under their “human rights” laws for preaching against homosexuality.

So I’ll vote to hold on to the First Amendment along with all the mess that goes along with it.

One you set a precedent that free speech has to be responsible speech, who decides? The same folks who have been sharpening their claws writing speech codes for college campuses, probably.

So I’ll vote to hold on to the First Amendment along with all the mess that goes along with it.

Already Christians are losing their ability to influence morals in society because they are no longer allowed by law to refuse business to certain people with whom they disagree. For example, Christian landlords are forced to rent to adulterous people, Christian printers have been sued for refusing business of people who want to promote things they disagree with, and pharmacists have been sued for refusing to sell poisonous drugs to pregnant women.

I’m not sure the way to address the problem with Google is to take away their rights. I will start using Yahoo for my searches.

Setting the rhetorical brilliance of your “Bzzzt! WRONG!!!” argument aside, it seems that the laissez-faire attitude that you take towards sinful speech is more dangerous than anything I have suggested. Canada’s problem is that they have lost the ability to recognize disinformation when confronted with it, not that they restrict its dissemination. This is not yet the case in America, though it is fast becoming that way since some people are unwilling to fight the moral fight against things that should simply never be said.
 
I work for a company that makes the most obscene pornography you can think of, then we sell drugs to school kids.

Be warned i have approached the people at CAF.com for advertising to their untapped demographic, and they refused me on moral grounds. There is a lawyer letter being drafted and will soon be in the mail.

Starting to see how ridiculous this is?

Google isn’t a public service,they can do what they want. While some of us disagree (me too, why would google turn down money??) ther’es not much to do about it.
 
Google ain’t so bad…I mean…I used it to find this website didn’t I? They may not advertise such sites that carry such information but it does not mean it cannot be found throught their search engine.
 
I did a Google “test”. I went to google and typed in “abortion”. On the right hand side, the following ads popped up:

Google has a very liberal culture. Note their logo changes on certain holidays - they NEVER use any Christian symbols(no Christmas tree, ect.) They do however display material for liberal holidays like kwanzaa.
