Keri, me too. I only wish some others didn't live here as well.

Boycott Verizon. They cannot dictate others' beliefs. They apparently know in Las Vegas that political stands are just religious fanaticism in this case.

Glen, Brant Lake, NY

Rightfully, Verizon has reversed itself, citing an isolated error in judgment. Not swayed by South Carolina religious fantasy, they have restored the Pro-Choice world to its rights.

It's Verizons network they can send or not send what they choose.

OUTRAGEOUS!

They're a freaking phone company, nothing more or less. Do they disconnect phone calls based on content, as well?

I'm guessing not.

I stand behind Verizon Wireless 100% ! I wish other Networks would do the same. "Pro Choice America "they chant like idots ! They had a choice (use protection or no protection)
and they made their choice ! Think people , THINK ! Sex education is being taught in elementary school , health department gives out condoms , birth control pills and they have family planing programs and the list goes on and on . But instead of these protesters chanting about stopping unwanted preganceys they are chanting for people to have the right to KILL innocent helpless babies that did not ask to be concieved in the first place . NO ONE and I repeat NO one should be giving the right to kill ! IF YOU DO NOT WANT TO GET PREGNANT IT IS SIMPLE DO NOT HAVE UNPROTECTED SEX !I do believe that if someone has been raped or a victim of incest , small children that has had horrible things done to them should have help if needed,but for grown women who have the resoures to provent preganceys .

I trust that Verizon would also ban 'pro-life' messages? Refusing abortion rights is equally controversial and unsavoury to many.

Or does it have some neo-con bible belt agenda of which George W would secretly approve?

Thank you Verizon for that stand which will or could add more spam to our lives.

The larger a corporate presence a company maintains, particularly one involved in the distribution of information, the less the company has a right to limit public access to information. In fact, in grows into a duty to disseminate ideas in the pursuit of a free exchange of ideas.

Verizon has no right to describe Naral's message as unsavory and it has no right to limit its consumers access to information they need to know as voters particularly since Verizon needs to actively block the message.

What it has done is take a political stand and forced its users to comply with that point of view and that is an unsavory and controversial message.

Im so glad i dont live in America.

Keri, London,

In 1994, there was a message sent out over the air waves that initiated the call to arms for many people in Rwanda. 100 days later, over 800,000 people lay dead on the roadways, in homes, churches, etc.

Does there need to be guidelines placed on use of airwaves (text messages, radio, television or otherwise)?

The facts speak louder than opinion.

Barbara Peters, Tallahassee, FL

Censorship in any form is unacceptable.I dropped Verison and urge others to do the same.

If you've been keeping up with the abortion debate in this country, you have no doubt heard some very interesting claims made by anti-abortion activists. Some of these claims need to be taken seriously, but others...well, not so much. In the spirit of raising the level of discourse, here are ten provably false claims that anti-abortion activists really need to stop repeating.

01. "Human life begins at conception."

False. Human life actually begins prior to conception, because each sperm and egg cell is a living organism. It is more relevant to discuss when sentience, or self-awareness, begins. In 2000, the British House of Lords established a Commission of Inquiry into Fetal Sentience, which estimated that higher-level brain development begins to commence at about 23 weeks.

Go Verizon!
