bananapeppers:bananapeppers:@support this is an ad that Tumblr served me today, May 17, 2022, for My Choice Network, which is a crisis pregnancy center (CPC) affiliated with Focus on the Family. the primary goal of a CPC is to prevent pregnant people from exercising the right to choose abortion for themselves. CPCs originated in the Christian-right anti-abortion movement. they rely on deception, lying, and other unethical* strategies to accomplish their goals, which, depending on the CPC, may also include converting service-users to Christianity and convincing service-users to practice heterosexuality. serving ads for CPCs is unethical and unacceptable. I demand that Tumblr stop serving ads for My Choice Network and any other CPCs and refuse to serve ads for CPCs going forward. learn more about CPCs: Expose Fake Clinics PGH by Pittsburgh DSA Socialist Feminist Committee Crisis Pregnancy Center Map by Andrea Swartzendruber and Danielle Lambert End the Lies by NARAL Pro-Choice America* * content uses gendered language. gendered language can be relevant and appropriate when discussing CPCs and the anti-abortion movement insofar as the anti-abortion movement is a misogynistic movement. that said, not all people who can become pregnant are women or girls. it is important to identify misogyny and not participate in cisgenderism. I contacted Tumblr Support at tumblr.com/support, which is their preferred contact method. I copied-pasted the 1st 3 paragraphs from the original post and added that this ad violates the Tumblr Global Advertising Policy regarding “Fraudulent, deceptive, expired, or misleading claims” because CPCs, including My Choice Network, rely on deception and lying and regarding “Religion and religious organization” because many CPCs, including My Choice Network which is affiliated with Focus on the Family, are evangelically Christian. -- source link
