It may be worth your while, Liz, to ask if the paper charged for the advertisement, if so how much was charged, and if not, what their plans are for an equivalent insert from a pro-choice source.

It seems they did, one of the images shows "Advertising Supplement" printed on the bottom corner. It still rubs me the wrong way because it just seems to be a bit of a cop out on the papers part, this group gets its propaganda printed, and the paper doesn't have to do a damn thing to balance things out (source wise, or do any kind of verification of the data that is being presented etc. Things they are supposed to do.) Will they print letters responding to this ad?

One would hope, but it really depends upon the school/school board, I think.

Goddammit I can not stop laughing at that flash.
Spike:
The only other real explanation I can think of that I can understand, is if refusing to run this advertisement could open the paper (and by extension the school) to some kind of law suit probably claiming discrimination of some sort. Even if the school won it would still be a drain of resources, and they probably just want to avoid that.
